Oh boy, a writing exercise. Let's see...


I woke up to the a soft melody played by a digital guitar. 9:45 AM. My drug induced sleep interrupted by the reminder that today is Sunday. Today is brunch day. How deliciously boring. At 1am I had decided it was a good idea to take a bath. My hair is still partially wet, wrapped in a towel. I look forward to seeing my friends, two of which are bringing their new-ish babies. When did people begin having babies? I feel like a lost generation, stuck somewhere between Sex and the City and GIRLS. We aren't young enough to be self entitled, and not old enough to have experienced having careers in a successful economy.

The 4th one of our group is coming over an hour ahead of time to ride to smoke some weed before we drive to the restaurant. Neither of us have children. She's in a relationship and lives further outside of the city than I do. We're closer than the other two, but we also have our secrets.

I'm sure brunch will go well. We're going to a popular spot, so there's a chance we'll run into other people we know. Perhaps this will become a weekly or monthly event. The four of us, a classic sitcom lineup, masticating together complaining or bragging about men. I'd like to believe we'll calmly discuss politics or science - and we may - but the reality is the conversation always turns towards the opposite sex, usually peoples partners, as a way to get advice from others in similar situations, I suppose.

I check OkCupid before getting up to actually get ready. No messages in my main folder, but my filtered inbox is filled with Ay gurl, how u doin'?'s and similar messages that all boil down to what the sender would really like to say, "Sex, please." I sort of began a friends with benefits thing with someone, but it will go no where. I hope. I've gotten so used to being single now. I like having my bed to myself at night, I don't want to share. I don't want to compromise my life for someone. Perhaps one day falling in love will change that.

I suppose it's time to get up, face the day, become more than part way human again. Maybe today something interesting will happen.


It got away from me. D:
