So I'm out the other night with my best friend a.k.a "gay husband" having a great time like we usually do, when that bitch had the nerve to call me a hermit! He says that I've become all work and no play. This isn't entirely true. I have become a little distant from a lot of my friends, but I wouldn't say I'm a complete recluse. I've probably spent more of my free time with the gay husband over the last year than anyone else though. I have been flying my Hag Flag a little too high, a little too long. I love my girlfriends, but I'm at that age where they are all either married and are constantly trying to convince me that I need to settle down and get married too so that I can be part of one of their boring married couples "date nights" or I have the girlfriends that aren't married, but desperately want to be so they want to go out all the time on a man hunt. These are the girls that you can't even go out and have a nice dinner with since they can't be bothered to have a conversation with you because they're craning their necks trying to spot a single man who with any luck will become "the one" within 6 months so that they can be married right around their one year anniversary. I shit you not. I have a friend with that EXACT timetable in her head. So I've just been laying low and avoiding all of these people because I get tired of the same conversations about shit that I really don't care about. Well, I do realize that I'm in danger of becoming a "dull girl" so I'm taking preemptive measures. One of my very good friends has moved back to town after having gone through a horrible divorce. Unlike my other single girlfriends, her outlook on life and relationships is vastly different. She's very much in "nothing but fun" mode. The other day I jokingly said "Let's travel to beautiful exotic places with the intent of making love to gorgeous men who we can barely communicate with unless we're naked". Her response "Hell yeah! Where should we go first?" Now that's a friend that will bring me out of my rut! We're having dinner tomorrow night and planning our trip to Australia. The communication will be a little easier, but the intent will be the same. G'Day!
How old are you Diva? My friends are all getting married to. In 10 years they'll be divorced.
Send them my way if they're down for 1 nighters.

Life plans and time lines are a freaking waste! Life events happens when they are meant to regardless of what we think and want.
All my girlfriends are also married and with multiple kids. I am still dating NewscasterHottie, we aren't engaged or with kids but we're having a hell of a time!
Life happens at it's own pace, just have a rocking time and let it all work out.

@Regretful - I'm a 30-something with no intention of being anybody's wife or mother in the near or distant future. I'll be sure to direct only my sluttiest friends your way you little tart:)
@DLD - You are absolutely right! You and NewcasterHottie should keep things status quo. Your relationship will probably outlast all of your married friends. Cheers to you!
