Goal #3 3:15AM

So may as well enter the conversation - what is the fixation with finding the one?

From a cynical point of view the term 'The One' sets you up for failure right from the start. Is there truly only one person out there for you? If there is then the chances of you ever meeting them are pretty bloody slim. There are nearly 6 billion people on this planet. Ok so lets say that only 5 percent are in the right age group for you, and they happen to live in the same city. That's still a lot of people (so I can't arsed working it out). Who says you will meet them at the right place at the right time for you both to be receptive to meeting each other? That's one of the reasons I don't believe in destiny as such, since it implies that one day you will meet this one person. You entire life will have been arranged at every turn by destiny and fate to be there at the same place at the same time. But hell the chances of you even speaking the same language are pretty slim!

Okay that's a bit silly but really is there one person out there who you're going to meet and go yeah 'they rock'?, before getting to know them, before finding that you have common interests, that they're not a axe wielding maniac? And when you meet this one are you going to meet them at the right time in your life, when you're not already with somebody else who you care about, or buggering off overseas?

Actually this was one of my self-improvement goals. Which I may as well write about now, since I've remembered it. Yet another non-measurable one. One that I can't wake up one morning and tick it off my list. One that I can't say I will achieve in one year. Still hopefully one day I will be wandering along the street and remember back to when I used to worry about it. (Either that I will have given up caring, and will be sleeping in bus shelters with bums and smelling a bit funny)

Sifty Self Improvement Goal #3: Enjoy being single.

Although it would be nice to have a relationship right now, I've got a lot of things to improve about myself yet. Being single isn't all bad, and there are a lot better things to do with your time than stressing about being single.

On the topic. I totally understand what ChunkyB's female friend is on about. I think the three day rule comes from America where they seem to view relationships like a sport. You absolutely must have a boy/girl friend and if you don't you're a 'geek', 'loser', 'teenage dirtbag'.

Anyway why the hell can't the girl call you?? Huh?

So another day another dollar. Well another '1.50 for 1 hour of PC use.
CU kids after the weekend.
