Holidays

[markolas]

Am I the only person who has issues with being single during the holidays? I usually don't care to be in a relationship during any other time of year, but between Halloween and Valentine's Day, I get this unbearable need to be coupled.

This year, it's worse because I haven't had any "relations" since the spring, plus both of my roommates have boyfriends and I'm around them all the time. Watching them all be lovey-dovey with each other is really getting to me.

So, yeah...just getting that off my chest. :)

[sparky]

Actually, while I was starting to wrap presents last night, I had a twinge about the last few holidays spent with my ex. Especially seeing some of the leftover things from seasons past. It was VERY fun to buy and wrap stuff for him. However, when I rehashed the reasons we aren't together and how I relish my freedom -the feelings quickly passed. The holidays are feeling so stress free on my own. All the other traditions are still in place. I am throwing an enormous party and the idea of him participating - shheeesh. He made it so stressful. Extremely happy to be on my own ! I don't have to factor someone else's obligations and "issues" into what is a great time of year. But then, I am pretty independent and a naturally happy guy. :wavey:

Gross. lovey dovey roomates. :p
Yeah, I feel that way a bit, but mainly because i want some. Whenever i want. often. and it's kind of lonely too, i suppose...Plus it's so cold... :D Plus i'm alone and no one loves me...thanks, Markolas... :mad: :laugh: :laugh: :wavey:

[ontheEdgeof17]

I have mixed feelings about this. Sometimes I want someone, and then sometimes I don't. It's not worse for me around this time of year. It will be two years in Feb since I have been in a "serious relationship" and I guess the lonliness has worn off.

I think after I graduation I will be more lonely. It will be a new life after that. I will actually have a "real job". I'm moving to a new place and if I am single around this time next year, I will probably be down in the dumps. At the moment, I am ok with it......but it WOULD BE AWESOME if I wasn't single. I'm a LTR kinda guy. :angel:

[strandinthewind]

I am happiest with my two Scotties and will be so this year!!!!!!!

[wondergirl9847]

Being single can open your mind to what YOU are. You can see what YOU are capable of without someone else.

But, what the heck do I know, I've never had a boyfriend. :lol:

HELLO??? Hey, I'VE BEEN THERE! Actually I am!!

Though xmas, it's more a family reunion,. all relatives are with husbands or wives, and it's a bit annoying whn they ask.. And when do you get married??? :eek: :eek:

It is worse on Valentine. If I'm single I prefer to stay alone at homes. Besides all places are full,. traffic is a nightmare, etc. I prefer to spend a blockbuster night.

And no pains on New Year's eve. I have fun anyway, no matter being single or with someone, it's always exciting. ;)

It always sucks for me from about the first of November through New Years Day, then I get over it pretty quickly. The holidays blow, imo.

Yep. My son, err, I mean dog, is a little TOO important in my daily routine. Today, I'm getting Christmas cards made with my holiday avatar on them. Pretty sad, no?

[dissention]

Nah, I don't feel lonely. I'm single by choice and like being able to do what I want when I want to do it. Sometimes I want to be with someone because I just like the company and love being around another person that I can be myself with 24/7, but then I realize that if I really wanted stuff like that, I'd be pursuing it. I'm not, so I guess I don't. :laugh: I've had relationships in the past and I've found myself bored a lot. After awhile, you just get to know someone so much that there's nothing left to get to know. You're sexually alone, everyday stuff becomes even more routine, and I just end up bored as hell. Maybe I just haven't met anyone special, who knows. Doesn't exactly make the prospect of marriage very pleasing.

So, no, I'm not lonely around the holidays. :laugh:

The worst part about the holidays is being asked over to a party or to someone's house for dinner...and the people asking you are either married, engaged, or in love. :lol:

I had two friends from college who got married two years ago and they asked me over for Christmas Eve dinner last year. I got there and everyone else was there with somebody else. :cool: I literally felt like a page that had been ripped out of Bridget Jones's diary. You know the feeling you get from everyone else, that there must be something wrong with you or that you're a sleep-farter or something; the pregnant couples are the WORST, too. It's the most embarassing thing in the world. And they stare at you and condescend you so much that you feel like smacking them upside their heads and then crawling under a rock. Add to that the fact that I had made cookies to bring them but they were burnt to a crisp and I? Was so uncomfortable that I think I wet myself twice.

[estranged4life]

single (Winter 1990) I enjoyed the wintertime...I was young, dumb and full of ___ and enjoyed the wintertime so much that I splurged on holiday presents for myself, Including the then new Led Zeppelin boxed set (The BEST boxed set EVER!)

Even though I am happily married I miss those fun single years where I did what the hell I wanted to (I still do in a way...But I have to think of someone other than myself now, Which is cool.)

[DrummerDeanna]

Yeah - since I moved here to Rochester I miss my ex- and the times we had together - but I did the whole "listing reasons we're not together" thing -and yeah - I'm where I want to be right now and I LOVE my freedom...

I've been out with a couple of guys since moving here both of whom annoyed the **** out of me...really really really annoyed me - so yeah I realized after those two fellows that I am not quite ready to date right now -

That said - it is still hard to be single around the holidays ... my work Christmas party is coming up and I"m like..who the hell am I gonna take? I'm going to be the only one alone (except for the gross old creepy guy...) haha - I'll just deal with it though...I'd rather be alone than with someone who I wanted to kill constantly.

Really? I usually feel awful for them, cause they're so fricking bored with each other that they have to have kids, they can't go out, they can't flirt with people when they do go out, and they have to ask each other before they do anything. And, it's possible that neither one gets much *** anymore. That could be why they try to make other people feel bad... :laugh:

Oh, resentment plays a big part in it, definitely. :nod: Now that I think about it, I should have declined and told them I had a nice piece of ass waiting for me instead. :lol:

(I would never say that, though.)

I only have one married friend right now, but she's really cool. She loves when we visit each other so she can escape and go out with me and flirt. Her husband is surly if he comes with us, so he doesn't, usually. And also, she can complain about him. Her lament last time was "I can't believe i ever got married. My married friends tricked me and said it would be easier to handle the kids with another person. But it's not, it's harder" :thumbsup: On the good side of that marriage, they still have...
but overall, even though i like to have a boyfriend, i'm really scared of the boredom and possible resentment of marriage... :shrug:

I wouldn't get married to save my life. It's an outdated institution and the expectation that people should get married is ridiculous. If I want to spend the rest of my life with someone, I don't need a piece of paper that says we're going to honor and obey each other. If I want to spend the rest of my life alone, I will. If I want to spend the rest of my life having indiscriminate sex, I will. It all depends on what happens in life. But the one thing I'll never do is get married.

:nod: That's the same thing i've thought every since i was little. Although, I suppose it's possible i would get married...mainly for money reasons, i suppose, if it happened. Know what else i don't understand? Why people spend bazillions of dollars for a wedding. They could save it for the honeymoon, a house, any number of more useful, fun, or longer lasting things. :shrug: I'm getting married at the river, it's gonna be BBQ, and everyone in swimsuits or whatever! :laugh:

If I ever got married, people would bring their own plates and would be forced to bring some kind of food in order to gain entrance. :]

What a RIDICULOUS waste of money! I've had friend's parents spend 20 or 30k on their weddings. How freakin' stupid. My god, make a big downpayment on a house.........start a big college fund for their kids..........something USEFUL.

20 or 30k? Christ. I mean, if people are rich, then i understand why they would spend a lot, cause it doesn't matter anyway. But for regular people, it just seems a giant waste of money.

[DrummerDeanna]

I am not opposed to getting married - I am opposed to spending tons of money on a wedding...

my sister and her husband had a semi-big wedding - so my family's been able to do that - I'll have the simple one - outdoors...haha..I don't even care if people come..I mean it's not a big ass show ya know? I think it can be a beautiful thing between two people - I would include those closest to me...but yeah - nothing big and fancy..probably outdoors...

But - I don't want to get married any time in the forseable future...

How dare you talk about my wedding that way! :D hahaha no really w/ what my parents spent on my wedding, we seriously could've had a MAJOR down payment on a house, or college $ for the kids. It was all a big show that my mom could run, and she had the sh*ts for about a year before the actual event from stress. I hardly knew anyone there that day..... I was only allowed to invite a few friends, can you freakin imagine?!

Nice day but in the scheme of things, a waste of $.

[SuzeQuze]

I've hated the holidays for years now because I broke up with a long term guy and my parents split about 6 years ago. They have completely sucked since. I get so stressed out. But this year I am not going to stress. Thanksgiving was pretty good. I actually am seeing someone but unfortunately he is an elusive chap so we don't spend much time together, I did not see him over Thanksgiving. I do not see this going anywhere which is sad. So I'm with those of you who think buh humbug. But this year I am going to really try to enjoy it since life is too short. Plus now I have my Mufasa (my cat), pets really do make a difference :thumbsup:

I will never get married unless I know it is right. I'd rather be alone than be with the wrong person and feel stuck. Relationships can be a pain in the rear.

One of these days I'm going to write a book called The $2000 Wedding, which is about what I spent for mine.

The dress might be the biggest rip-off. I just wanted a simple ivory dress, which ended up being a spagetti strap ivory bridesmaid dress with a wrap. There were stores that wouldn't even let me look at the bridesmaid section of the books, just "Oh no, the bride's dresses are here." So crazy.

But we had it in our backyard, we borrowed canopies from friends, my mother bought 100 of those plastic lawn chairs because it was end of season and they were actually cheaper than renting chairs. My mother-in-law, who is very crafty, did the flowers. The music was played from my stereo with the speakers outside. I chose a CD of Celtic music, picked a 45 second snippitt out of it, timed enough lag time at the beginning of a tape so that I could hit play and get in position and the music started and I walked down the aisle!

We have two dogwoods in the back yard, so we got married under those, and my husband made all these origami cranes that we tied to the branches, so they fluttered around during the whole thing (my favorite part!).

We had catered wraps (like cold sandwiches), a couple salads, and lots of booze we bought ourselves, and we just hung out in the backyard afterwards. It was great and I wouldn't have done it any differently.

Thing is, I was supposed to get married to someone else about two years before, and that was supposed to be on Halloween ("Nobody gets married on Halloween" :laugh: Name the movie!) with everyone in costume and a rented hall and blah, blah, blah...and I ended up calling off the wedding 10 days before the day. SO it may have been a reaction to that...but it really was a lesson in what's important.

You either buy into the bull**** or you don't...

Being single can open your mind to what YOU are. You can see what YOU are capable of without someone else.

But, what the heck do I know, I've never had a boyfriend. :lol:I'm SO with ya, since I've never had a girlfriend! So it's hard for me to say precisely what the advantages and disadvantages are. :shrug:

make sure to be with someone who can cook!!! I'm lucky to have the advantage of being within someone who is a great cook (I too can cook, Which shocks most people), So I have added some weight in the 13+ years we have been together (Plus Deb has stolen all of my usual smartass remarks to use on people :lol: )

Um, yeah, that's when you should say "YOU don't tell me what dress I need...*I* tell me what dress I need. Thank you."

Awww...I have a couple of oragami books and I tried it. I can make a not-so-great crane, but some of the others are difficult. LOL That was a terrific idea! :thumbsup:

And it doesn't seem to be for the bride and groom. It seems to be for the bride's mother. Am I right?
All that stress!!!! And if it ends in divorce in 5 years, that only makes the huge wedding look more ridiculous.

I totally enjoyed being married! And the wedding was done at the bargin price of $1500! That's including the dress and the chalet in the mountains for 4 days!

I've been widowed/single for 18 months today. The holidays sucked bad last year. It's quite the adjustment. I made my family completely change the holiday routine so I wouldn't feel so out of place. Last year, I was literally waiting for Jason to walk in at any moment, and it was too much to handle. Spending Christmas morning alone with Sara was depressing. I had to buy myself gifts to put under the tree so Sara wouldn't question why Santa didn't bring Mommy anything. I dunno.... one of these days I will find a good guy who's not an asshole or a bum. Right now, I guess, I'm just trying to be me and be a great mom.

Oh sure! Needless to say I didn't get my dress at any of those stores. It just amazed me how hard they try to make you believe you need the big dress. You really have to be adamant about not buyng in...

My husband is actually quite artistic and is quite good at origami. He made fancier ones and we made them our wedding favors! I remember he did a bear and a deer and a rabbit and stuff like that. But after all those cranes for the trees he said he would be happy if he never did another crane again! :laugh:

The only reason I am sad about being single during the holidays is because I can't use a significant other as an excuse to get out of spending them with my dysfunctional family. And the even sadder part is, I'm totally serious and that really is sad. Can someone point me in the direction of a good "Let It Go" therapist?! (now that was funny.) :lol:

I love my immediate family (mom, sister etc...) but the rest? yikes...mucho f**ked upness...:nod: I'm going back home for Christmas and am hoping that I don't have to spend a big holiday with the whole extended family (luckily my immediate family feels the same way )...but yeah - I've had the "how the hell did I end up even remotely normal" thought for years...

I know I've got insane aunts, my uncle is the biggest asshole known to mankind, my mother is loopier than a box of Fruit Loops, my cousins are snobs, my sister is just...stupid; whose family isn't like that?

[DrummerDeanna]

Yeah - my family is something else as well...I've got the weird ass uncle/aunt - once when my grandma was visiting my cousin came out and said, "Are you not going to have naked family night since grandma and grandpa are here?" wtf!?!

:eek:

My immidiate family group is actually the most normal in our whole family...haha..not that that's saying much - but my sister and I are the only cousins with college degrees and steady jobs :D

Aunt Gladys is my favorite. :woohoo: When she farts in the car? I lose all control. When she flashes them as she get sout fo the car? I explode. When she munches on her Fruit Loop neclaces? I wet myself. When she sings at the dinner table? I pass out. When she tries to pass off those damned lamps to everyone she comes into contact with? Oy vey!

That movie is the best, right alongside A Christmas Story. :nod:

It's hysterical every time and NEVER gets old. I always have the 24 hour marathon on all day during Christmas. :nod:

My favorite part, though, hands down, is the part when the lamp first comes.

Funny that this movie never gets old. This one I actually saw in the theater when it first came out. My mom took my young cousin (about 5) with us and was horrified when Santa kicked the kids down the slide! :eek:

Stevie Nicks' stage act is quite different from a holiday movie.

Her routine is tired, that's simply my opinion. If she can't do herself justice, she needs to revamp, regroup, and emerge with a fresh approach.

I've never been able to understand the Christmas Story hype...I watched it once in middle school (because all my friend LOVEd it) I found it SO depressing and I've not watched it since - I don't know why - something about it just really depressed me...so it's not one of my holiday standards at all....

The movie is not a living and breathing entertainer that can change it's approach instead of being a constant bore, though. That's the difference. If the movie bores you, don't watch it because it can't change. If Stevie bores me, I can still watch and listen in the hopes that something changes. :)

Okay. Just thought it was strange that you could watch a movie 50 times and not be bored, but yell about how bored you are with miss nicks and her schtick all the time. Guess you just think that is one fantabulous movie...the movie that's always good...the movie from heaven, sent down to be perfect for you. :laugh:

I saw some flick with him and Maria Bello called "100 Mile Rule" at the Boston Film Festival a couple years ago and he was incredibly dorky sexy in that one (and it was a hilarious movie). :laugh: I just got done watching Law and Order: SVU and they showed a commercial for his new show, so I've had my fix. :cool:

Brad Pitt freaks me out. He's just so fake looking, especially for a 40 year old. He's had work done, no doubt about it. :nod:

But - yes the holidays are such a crappy time to be alone - it's starting to wear on me more than I thought it would...probably because I also don't have any close friends here yet - so I miss that too...I feel, at times, totally alone in a new place and it sucks....luckily I have going home to look forward to...

I listened to the commentary on the DVD and the director said that all he cared about was the visuals, he didn't give a rat's ass about the story or the characters. :laugh: He certainly succeeded, because it's one helluva trippy flick. Very surreal and nightmarish.

No - I do not have a crush on Webber - but readily admit he is very handsome and can see the attraction.

Nah, he showed off his fine ass in Wendigo, along with his *gorgeous* bod. :laugh:

I predict J Lo's career will go the way of Tiffany, not La Gibson. She'll drop out of sight for a few years, come back and pose for Playboy, then get arrested for breaking into her ex-husbands (Marc Anthony) house to attack him, all while being under the influence. Then, finally, there will be an E! True Hollywood Story worth watching again.

Can't sing, can't act

Can't stay married either baby,

Once she had a chest
It was so flat
Soon turned out

Seemed like a bad dream
Only to find

Too many pork rinds
Soon found out
She wasn't one of a kind
It seemed like a common thing

Should insure that ass, before it lags behind

That's almost as funny as the story I heard about Lily Tomlin and David O. Russell getting into a physical fight on the set of I Heart Huckabess. :laugh: Lily Tomlin looks like she could rip your face off without putting any effort into it.

If you were going to have your ass insured for millions, you wouldn't get it lifted a bit before taking out a policy?! :laugh:
My ass? It would be totally unecessary. Hers to. :wavey:

I don't know about hers, it depends what day it is. When she was at the Oscars a couple of years ago (the year she wore that nipple top), you could see her ass bouncing up and down off the ground under her dress. :nod:

Yeah, I've seen it do strange things too, things mine would never do. It's sort of a separate globular entity on her....a big one, too. So maybe she had it smallened and tucked up a bit. I haven't seen it lately, but 'Lo and I are scheduled to have "lunch" this Friday so i'll let you know.. :laugh: Last time i saw it was as guest star on Will & Grace.

I just had a stroke at my keyboard. That was *hysterical.*

I've always said that the cause of the California quakes is glaringly obvious. J Lo's just doing her butt exercises. :laugh:

oh, no....I shouldn't laugh at that....she is kind of my body cousin...to late, I already laughed my ass off....

[SuzeQuze]

And to think I actually tought she could be a positive role model for young Latina girls when she first came out in Selena.....that thought went down the drain years and years ago....I cannot stand J-ho...

Say it loud and proud sista, I second that. The clincher was the whole Ben thing :rolleyes: ,like that was ever going to last, why couldn't she see what the whole world saw?:shrug:

I thought because her booty was voluptuous this could be good. Girls could see a more realistic body in the media. Of course, just like everyone else in show biz she lost weight. Still, the booty is there, this I can identify with since nothing I ever do (naturaly) will get rid of my "shadow ass" that follows me. Kristin Davis also has one of these. God bless these women. But J Ho has let me down because she is just so ditsy.

VH1 was playing a Kelly Clarkson video this morning... I'm not sure what the name of the song is.
Anyway, I've never really paid attention to her before, so I hadn't noticed, but she's clearly not a skinny girl... which I was VERY happy to see.

She had a great, curvy WOMAN'S body... hopefully she won't give into pressures and lose weight.

Am I the only person who has issues with being single during the holidays? I usually don't care to be in a relationship during any other time of year, but between Halloween and Valentine's Day, I get this unbearable need to be coupled.

This year, it's worse because I haven't had any "relations" since the spring, plus both of my roommates have boyfriends and I'm around them all the time. Watching them all be lovey-dovey with each other is really getting to me.

So, yeah...just getting that off my chest. :)

I am in kind of a weird situation. I am currently in a relationship but I plan to get out of it by Christmas because I know it's not happening and I can't STAND to have all my family ask me "When are we going to meet this man? When are you going to marry him?" Aack! And I thought anything would be better than last year when I heard my two married sisters wondering aloud if I'm not married at 29 (almost 30! gasp!) because I'm secretly a lesbian :rolleyes: . Well, now I know I was wrong - the expectation that I would marry this guy would be worse. So I'm going to be single for the holidays - by choice.

I don't necessarily "hate" being single during the Holidays, but I sure wouldn't mind having a "special someone" to share them with.

I'm lucky in that I have a large extended family, and I'm not the only one who's single, so I don't really get a lot of that "why aren't you married"-type pressure. But there are still plenty of married couples in the family, that it does make you wistful at times, wishing you had someone too.

A couple years ago when my cousin, his wife, and their new baby, were visiting for the holidays, it was a little bittersweet at times. I loved every minute of doting on their daughter, playing with her, feeding her, rocking her to sleep, and singing her lullabies... all of that stuff. And my cousin's wife said, "wow, you're going to be a really wonderful husband and father someday," which was a sweet comment, but I just thought, "if you only knew how unlikely it is that either of those things will ever happen."

So there are times when it's somewhat depressing for me to be single during the holidays, but, like I said, for the most part I'm ok with it.

And, damnit, one day I WILL have someone to share the holidays with, and ring in the New Year with, and all of that other stuff. As God is my witness....! ;) :laugh:

Nope. She has said many of times herself that she is happy with her weight and has no intention on dieting. GO GIRL! :thumbsup:

Nancy, I can relate to this, except I am 33 :eek: I am in a relationship that is not going to work either but I am sort of stuck about moving forward. I may or may not break it off by Christmas. But with his work schedule, he won't be around anyway.

Oh, your sisters, grrrrrr... As someone posted earlier, they (married people) just want to suck others into their misery. I'm sure they mean well but they're a bit misguided.

I am also single by choice - but it was either be single - or be with a guy who I find absolutely infuriating...BUT my uncle back home has asked my mom..."So is Dee dating men in New York?" my mom was like..."men? As opposed to....what....animals??"

My mom is very supportive of my single-ness - at my age she was already in a bad marriage with a kid - so she's always like, "you're so lucky you don't have anything holding you back - you're free!!!" I like that she's supportive rather than trying to get me married off...:nod:

Sis, I sure can identify with that too. My mom has never pushed me toward marriage. She has mentioned grandkids though! I'm like, hello??? Hehe. Generally though she is very supportive. Also, my 30 year old brother is single too. I can't believe he's 30! :eek:
