What this "sig-nif-icant other" you speak of in these lands?

It's sort of like a 3D messageboard friend.

My boyfriend goes on tour twice a year for 40+ days. I'm always okay until the actual moment when he leaves. I always dissolve into a sniffling, blubbering mess.  And I swear, things are so out to get me in the dark for those first few nights. It also takes me a while to adjust to how cold the bed is.

But I still don't think anything can top being reunited with someone you love after you've been separated for that long. It's the nicest fuzziest feeling ever.

I'm just trying to cheer up John!!


A guy like you is a great catch, Martin. I can't imagine you staying single for long. The ladies love beards, you know.

(Or gents. I'm not sure which you prefer. I think people just love beards in general though). Yay beards!

I'm feeling better now.  Thanks for the good vibes.  She's only away for a week.  Guess I'm a bit of a clingy milquetoaster.  So be it!  It's true, though, I'm always excited when I pick her up from the airport.  That's how you know it's love.  When you're looking forward to driving to the airport.  Am I right people?

(1) I am confused by emily's comment.

(2) I was separated from my ladyfriend for a year when she went off to art school(I joined her for year 2), and for the past two summers I've spent in DC. . It does suck, but it's good to be reminded of that. Dog separation also sucks.

Maybe I'm a cold-hearted bastidge, but I kind of like the first few days of simulated bachelorhood. I get to eat junk that would normally be verboten, and watch movies that my sweetie would never put up with. But any more than about 4 days is a drag.

^I'm with Bryan. Being alone for periods of time, esp if you're an introvert, is a huge blessing for doing quiet stuff and working on personal projects.






If you know what I mean.

I think this is what you meant.  I understand that time without a loved one can be confusing.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

I love it.  I get the whole bed to myself, I get to eat fast food every night and I get to play all the video games I want.

My life without Stacy is similar to that of a 14 year old boy.
Breakfast- I'm havin' a time
Wheelies- I'm havin' a time
Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

I do adore that half hour when Greg's in the shower in the morning and I'm still sleeping. I get the bed to myself and I sprawl diagonally.

I'm sure once we cohabitate I'll look forward to it even more...

I think she must be dating a high school student.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Last night I celebrated bachelorhood by smoking (forbidden by the gf), drinking almost an entire bottle of white wine that was sitting in the fridge, watching episodes of MONK on hulu, then drunkenly listening to my ipod in bed.  I also slept diagonally for about half the night.  Rock'n'Roll!  Man, once you turn thirty, there's no turning back.

My g.f. was gone for two weeks earlier in the summer, so this week has less zip than my other 2 bachelor weeks, which were devoted to watching season 2 of The Wire and eating rotisserie chicken (she's a vegetarian).  Now that I'm so broke that I'm just smoking out of boredom and drinking leftover wine, it's starting to approximate the true, sad habits of my natural bachelor self.  But it will all be over soon.  I always spend the last day and a half working really hard to make the apt. at least look as decent as it did when she left, and try to hide the utter slobbitude that I allow to settle on our home.
