Don't put all your Ova in one basket/ Hung over


OK. I'm trying to do this dating thing so that my anxiety and obsession is divided among multiple people instead of just spent on one person. And of course, you're less invested in one person. I have to admit I found dating and seeing more than one person pretty hard. I'm more of a one woman one man kinda gal. Once I like someone and have any kind of physical romantic interaction with him, "I only have eyes for him." The problem, of course, is when the man for whom you have exclusive eyes is blocking your vision and blinding you from Mr. Right who happens to be standing right behind him. More realistically, the problem is once I'm into someone, I see everything through denial/ rose colored glasses and want to make us work, even if "us" sucks.

Sorry if I'm not writing as AMAZINGLY AND TOTALLY BRILLIANTLY as I usually do. You know how I hate to disappoint my audience. But I have a terrible head ache, and am hung over. I went out last night in one of those "I'm young and single and should go out but I don't really want to moments." I wound up having a lot of fun. Sang Karaoke. Cher's I've Found Someone was a disaster. Never Again. Never Again. Ooo, wouldn't it be great if when I "find someone" the spell is broken and I am able to sing that song well? As of now, it's totally out of my range. But Bryan Adams' Summer of 69 and Cheryl Crow and Kid Rock's collaborative opus (I put your) Picture (away) have great harmonies and were great to do with my friend, who is a bit of a Karaoke snob. He wouldn't let me sing Natalie Umbruglia's Torn with him because he wanted to "go solo." I went solo myself with Bon Jovi's Always, a very underrated song. Anyway, three gin and somethings and 3 hours of sleep later, I'm a total mess with a raging headache. So this post is really more of a free association type thing. But anyway, I'll write more about not putting all your ova in the same basket soon. For now, just know that I'm trying. And at the end of the day, isn't that the only thing we can really do? Try?
