To give a setting to what I am about to say, let it be known that I am waiting for my date to pick me up for a corporate social I am now late for. This setting provides at quite a few topics to touch upon. One, the corporate social I am going to is oriented towards couples. I was originally planning to go alone until I was given the impression that I would be bored there by myself. Who knows. Two, a difficulty in many relationships is arrangeing schedules. I find this often limits my spontenaity and my perceived freedom. Three, as I sit here I think to myself, I am really more in the mood for playing with the computer tonight and I wish I hadn't committed myself to this social endevor. What does this all mean? For one I would like to hear other people talk about there struggles with the social pressure from a married/coupled world. Secondly, in responce to discussions about what do singles do differently, I will repsond that I do things I can do by myself, and I prefer it that way. Solitaire is more interesting than bridge, and hacking is more interesting than 'chatting'. I go to museums, movies and meals by myself and sometimes get weird looks from others, but I enjoy myself, and so as to not sound to hedonistic, I learn a lot of things I might not have time for if I were coupled. I am proud to sign my name, Aldon Hynes BTL Pisc. pyuxcc!amh
