another kind of evolution

so i recently purchased a book entitled "better single than sorry." before you start feeling bad for me and dropping everything you're doing to come and usher me out of the self-help section at b&n, let me assure you that this book wasn't for me. and not in the "this-is-for-my-friend-but-it's-really-secretly-for-me, and-i-think-we-both-know-this" type of way, but in the troof kind of way.

this book is for my "relationship friend." let's call her annie. we all know annie. maybe we know a lot of annies. annie is the girl who always needs to be in a relationship. she is not complete without a significant other, and she relies heavily on her male counterpart for her happiness. her facebook status should read: Annie is in a relationship with ANYONE.

i feel bad for annie.

i can wholeheartedly say that i know how to be happy without a boyfriend. this does not translate to my desire to be single forever, BUT it means that i am not going to be in a relationship for the sake of being in a relationship. if you're not worth it, hit the road jack. i hear annie's single today.

later that day, i got to thinking (hello carrie bradshaw) ... is it weird that i am not like annie? don't most girls almost always want to be in a relationship? i reassessed some of my opinions and viewpoints, and found them strikingly similar to those of a guy. am i a guy? i'm definitely not a lesbian, or even bi-sexual (even after that one winter when i sat (a freaked out) jenna and sam down and i told them that i might be. sorry guys) but i definitely think like a guy.

then even later on in that day, i got to thinking... have the sexes switched? i thought about recent conversations with friends about how the guys they knew have been clingy, emotional... even complaining of bloating and love handles. i had an epiphany. while batshit crazy republican presidential candidate mike huckabee may not believe in the evolution of man, there has been another kind of evolution creeping up upon us: the evolution of man into woman, and vice versa.

girls who actually believe that sometimes it really is better to be single? guys who are overly sensitive and needy? when did this happen?

maybe hillary clinton should be president... ha yeah, f that.
