The Lonelies I enjoy being alone.

I like quiet. I can retreat into my own head for hours. I'm excellent company for myself--I always agree with what I have to say, and when talking to myself, I'm a brilliant conversationalist.

This week, though, I have a case of the lonelies.

Last week I was surrounded by people 24/7. There was always someone to talk to. And not just anyone--I was surrounded by people I genuinely like and find endlessly interesting to talk to.

And now I'm alone again*, and finding that the company of myself just doesn't measure up to the company of others like it had before. I'm not sure what to do with this--this wanting people around. It's new to me.

I'm not sure that I like it.

Anyone want to come visit?

*If anyone says, "But you're not alone! You have the kids!" I'll hunt you down and punch you in the throat.

Be nice or I'll punch you in the taco. If you can't say anything nice, come sit by me. Where I go to procrastinate the housework (Coming soon!)
