two-ten-ten

So! Today is February 10th, and I've had (due to extremely cold -- but lucky -- circumstances) three snow days in a row. And of course, I have made do with procrastinatory deeds instead of actually doing work. This is so predictable of me. -_-

Anyways, I have kept busy with visiting my friends who live down the hall and with lovely snow-related procrastination (like sledding and snow-fights... ish). As well as other methods of distraction, of course (including an extremely overdue reunion with my PS2, which had been neglected for six months).

But de todos modos, two holidays are coming up! And they would be:
Chinese New Year!
Valentine's Day!

So it kinda sucks to be without family for Chinese New Year. But what can I do, right? I mean, no amount of wishing will get me any closer to my family. I'll just take it as any other day, I guess. Meh... It's just a little depressing to actually write that this will be the first Chinese New Year without any family. Sigh.
And then there's Valentine's Day, which makes it like a double-whammy. So it's like, you have no family AND no one special with which to spend your Chinese New Year/Valentine's Day. Ehhh... I guess it's no biggie, though. I mean, I've never been one to say, "Omigosh, Valentine's Day without someone is social suicide. I would rather consume arsenic than go on alone!" So it's not like I'm one of those death-without-a-partner kind of people. Still, it would be nice to be able to spend time with someone in a special way, right?

Waitaminnit. I've never spoken much about this topic, have I?
Well, my view on this is as follows (more or less, depending on the time of day): I would really like to find someone with whom I can share my life -- happiness, sadness, embarrassments, and difficulties. I'd like someone to hold at night. I'd like someone to see when I first wake each morning. I'd like someone to hold my hand in the park. I'd like someone to be silly with me when I get tired. I'd like someone to laugh at my jokes -- or at me when I make terrible ones. I'd like someone to tell me I'm being stupid when I overthink things. I'd like someone to tell me that I have smelly breath in the morning and that my feet stink after a hard day's work (if they do, in fact, do so. I don't make a habit of smelling my feet, you know).
HOWEVER, I don't need someone to complete me. I've managed for all of my life, so it's not imperative for me to find my other half. Still, I'd kinda be a little sad to spend the rest of my life alone... -_-
Bleak existence, meh... But I think I should get used to this concept because I have certain parameters for my soul mate... Parameters which limit me to to a tiny (if existent) pool of people, eh...
But yes. These are my musings for the night as I procrastinate some more.

Ciao
