A new color day...

Wow... seven days till Christmas. Isn't that just so exciting? Yeah, I didn't think so. In that case I'll be sending all your presents back.

You know, things are actually looking up for me this holiday season. I thought it was going to be a depressing weekend, but I've found someone entertaining to talk to. I'm not ready for a relationship (Because I know one of you out there is going to be asking me who, what, where, and all those questions that you know you shouldn't...) but she is a pretty good friend at this point.

What is the deal with relationships anyway? What makes them so special? The ability to be with someone? The ability to hold hands, or snuggle with someone at night? How about that lovely little extra of being able to pass gas around them, and not have to say a word?

Things of this nature confuse me. I'd love for someone to be around, but I don't want the bonds of a relationship. I don't want restrictions on what I can or can't do, I just want a soft friendship/room mate thing. Does that make me selfish? I don't think so...

I've had so many people that have been asking me about relationships lately. How to make them work, what to do in "this" situation, what the correct thing to say is, or... the classic... "How do I get myself out of this mess I put myself in?" advice.

Let me make this specifically clear, right now people. I do not know anymore. STOP asking me! You're talking to a man who has been in more relationships by 21 than my mother has done her entire life... and she's been married 8 times now at 50! In all of that, I haven't been able to keep a single one, make any of them smile for a dependently long time, or make them work in general for an extended period.

Everyone here is a ring, looking for that diamond. Some of you are not yet molded right, some are ready to be set. Me, however, is a perfectly molded ring that has been tarnished, beaten, stepped on, and left in the bottom of some drawer lost and forgotten. If you want to figure out how to set a diamond, don't go for something that is sub par. Go to something that sparkles, not something that still needs some work.

Oh, and tell me what you think of the winter colors. I rather like them, myself. :)
