10 THINGS I AM REALLY FUCKING TIRED OF DEFENDING.
1. What I decide to eat, or not eat.
2. Wanting to move out of this state for a little while so I can have a chance at happiness.
3. Wanting to go home and not stay to have a drink when I'm tired from working a 17 hour day.
4. Not wanting to go out to a bar filled with striped-shirted, short-haired single men when I work in one.
5. Who I date and why I'm okay with the fact that they're different from you*. That's in fact WHY I like them.
6. The reason I'm still not married/engaged/ already-living-in-a- house-with-a-white-picket-fence-and-2.5 kids...and okay with it.
7. Why I'm still at this job, even though I hate it.
8. Why I like living 20 minutes from town...and why it's ridiculous you won't drive out there.
9. Why I haven't gotten a chance to call you back after your 10,000 calls or return your gazillion-and-one text messages asking why you haven't heard from me.
and finally...
10. Why I'm apparently cranky as hell most of the time lately. I have no idea why. Well, okay, that's a lie, I kinda do...but do I need to explain it?

*The "you" varies throughout the post. And most likely, if you're reading this, you're not the "you" I'm referring to...these "yous**" don't know about my site.
** In Rhode Island, the word "yous" is actually used. A lot. Like, all the time. I thought it wasn't true until I dated someone more Rhode Island than quahogs and his grandmother used it every other word. For those of you not familiar with this expression, it is commonly used in the same way "ya'll" is used. For example: "Are yous all coming to dinner?" Try it. Especially you southerners. You might know what I feel like everytime I say ya'll up here.

It's the end of the world as we know it...
and I've got lime.
The world was about to end, and the last person who had spoken to me was the machine lady at the self-checkout. But at least I would've had plenty of sugar and limes with me...it's a shame they don't sell tequila at the grocery store in Rhode Island, or I would've already made myself a cocktail the second I saw this coming.
