Intro #2

Hi. It's me again.

So, it never occurred to me to do something like this until I was sharing my first dating experiences with my friends, and I realized... "Wow, everyone is laughing. This shit is funny!" And what better way to heal and grow and deal with the BS of being single than to laugh at yourself, right? Or at least at every boy you encounter.

Even though being single is a drag, the last thing on earth I want or need right now is a boyfriend. I'm still moderately hung up on the ex. He swears he just needs time to get his shit together, yadda yadda. We've decided to stay friends, which might be the dumbest thing I've ever done, or maybe I've grown enough spiritually to understand that sometimes you can love someone, and they can love you, and it just doesn't work. I'm still on the fence on that one.

So, whether or not I've committed emotional suicide, I have decided to take advantage of the large, attractive population of single men in this city. I have no idea what to expect from here, but so far, it's been stories worth sharing!

I'm not a writer by trade, but it's my hope to relay my experiences to anyone who wants to read them with humor and poignancy, while simultaneously bringing myself a little clarity and healing. Here goes!

So, people said I should write about this stuff...

Hi! My name is Mary Anne.

I'm newly single. I'm not particularly happy about it. You see, I'm afraid that I just don't really enjoy the solitude. I'm a people person. But, such is life, and here I am. I am 29, and newly single. Fucking awesome.

Despite this undesired circumstance, I've a decent amount of positive things in my life. I have a good paying job, a nice little apartment. I live in an amazing city, full of amazing, interesting people. I've lost weight, I'm getting back in shape by biking and yoga. I work also for a non-profit that provides services for children and adults with mental disabilities. I have a solid foundation of friends. I have a therapist, and I'm learning to like myself again. Ah, a girl should be so lucky!

So what am I here to bitch about? You guessed it... Men, or boys, depending on how you look at it.
