Kinky

As I was lying in bed this morning (avoiding getting up until my creepy roommate left the house) I was thinking of my friend N. On my last visit to her house she ended up pulling out a box of old pictures to show me something from an ex boyfriend. The box was full of romantic cards, notes from old flames and a bunch of jewelry different guys had given her. Rings, necklaces, earrings - all very sweet and nice - an abundance of gold and fake diamonds. It got me thinking about the gifts from MY exes. I must say the list is more scandalous than sweet. Among the gifts ex lovers have bestowed upon me:

a huge rug with a fire breathing dragon on it
a small crystal penis talisman
a voodoo goat horn
a ball gag
a leather jacket
a whip
a tattoo on my shoulder
police issued hand cuffs
a $500 custom made corset
a book on BDSM
a Michel Foucault book called 'The birth of the Clinic'

Not a single cute card or a pair of earrings!

This might explain a lot...

Wow. Happy Valentine's Day to me! I really hate this day, needless to say. But it doesn't exactly make matters better when I go to check facebook and my married friend post a link to an article about books to read 'for bitter singles on Valentine's Day' with the comment "Thinking of you on your favorite day!" blah blah... Now is it just me or is that a bit mocking and insensitive?! While I have no problem grousing about my lovelorn status to my friends (and anonymous strangers - on here), I don't particularly want my facebook friends, family and acquaintances knowing what a sad, lonely, sourpuss I am! With over half the population officially filing their taxes as 'single', it might be time for some sensitivity training for couples and smug married people. As any single person will inevitably tell you - often the WORST love advice and most unsympathetic comments come from people in relationships. They are not only out of touch with what its like to be searching for a partner but they looooove to act like its your fault that you haven't met anyone decent. Come on guys!
