The best response to have when asked why you didn't bring a date to a wedding or something is, "Oh, he's just for fun, he's not worthy of the event."
I didn't seriously hook up with anybody till I was 24, and my contentment with that state terrified the 19-year-olds around me who lived in dread of turning 20 without a guy.
That's because you live in the City of The Broken Hearted. Duh! It's all hopeless, anyway.
Hah! That makes me both laugh AND cry!
It's not your stupid brain.
I blame my brain because I KNOW about the evil Hallmark dudes and what they're up to but I still get sad about being ALONE FOREVER!
VW I love that you are setting a specific goal and rewarding yourself with an IPOD if you reach it! I'm rooting hard for you!!! And also trying to figure out what hard but attainable goal I can set for myself that would warrant me getting an IPOD as a reward. hmmmm....maybe successfully creating a budget and following it for a couple of months. Very hard for me.

Yeah, I'm pretty much over giving a shit or feeling awkward about it now, but in my early 20s it was pretty painful.

I think that sounds fabulous! I think everyone should reward themselves with iPods. It's my new thing. I wish I could fund it for everyone.

Amy Parker wanted me to tell you that she's sorry that your Mother had surgery today too. She wonders which is more ironic, heart or uterine surgery on Valentine's Day.

I'm realizing that I'll probably have to reward myself with a new computer at home before the iPod reward can happen. hmmm...what other task can I set myself to? (er...aside from the saving money to actually buy these rewards task)
Lisah, then you'll appreciate what I mean when I say I almost did something that was totally Munch-taking-up-a-whole-page-in-Helen's-yearbook(Not that I found that relatable at all, nuh uh. But I'm thirty-one, not sixteen, so I stopped myself.) Ah, well, one less thing to feel pangs about as he lies beaten bloody in a parking garage. Gee, attitude really does help...I was wrong to doubt!

Oh, yeah. An irony-off.
Trudy, please give amyp my best. Her sister is in my thoughts and prayers. Is this the sister she told us about, that has cancer? I remember her putting something in beep me, a long time ago. It seems to me that her family didn't tell her (Amy) at first.
