Alright, I'm back
Seems I've been busy, who would have thought. My sister came over, stayed from Friday until now, that is Tuesday. A bunch of days, all in all enough for me to get used to her and miss when she left and also, enough to feel the relief of solitude after five days of activity. Or well, activity, we really just spent the days buying good looking crap and the nights making elaborate food and watching The X Files, since I bought the first season on DVD. A pretty nice show, that. And I actually think Dana Scully is my ideal woman and I think, in fact, perhaps she became that when I was a kid, watching the series on exciting late hours. Fox Mulder was an early ideal man for me too, it all makes perfect sense, that was the guy to be - an intelligent nerd, boyish but bold, always right. Scully is the sister, mother, lover - you know, the usual bullshit - elegant, good looking, secretive but intelligent and above all, a wonderful partner to argue with. So stubborn! I mean, how much proof does she need be at least slightly more into believing in some kind of supernatural events? She just doesn't want to believe. I love that. I can only argue with brick walls.
But siiiigh, look at me, writing away slightly too dreamily about a fictional character. Hm. Story of my life, I guess.
Spoke some over the MSN with The Eagle, we talked some about financial crisis, generation problems and love problems and what they have in common. I think it's fascinating that most people I know would love to spend the rest of their lives in one great city, with one great job and one great paycheck and a couple of great friends - but have no interest whatsoever in having one partner. Monogamy is fucking underrated. It should become an indie thing or something.
As for me, I don't know. I'm really not giving it any heart and soul anymore, this whole "finding somebody" thing. As it is now, it would surprise me beyond belief if I actually fell for somebody. But it doesn't really end and that, I've lost interest in the whole spectacle. I'm a rusty and lazy pickuper, saying like "Oh really? Not into conversation? Well, as a matter of fact, you might as well fuck off, I need another beer".
It all probably has something to do with the fact that I've actually had my share. I've been occupied six years. Six years! That's like a quarter of my entire life, thus far. Not only does the horrific demolition of the latest relationship still haunt one or two heart chambers, and not only am I fixed upon the notion that nothing will really compare to it anyway, but I've also got no strength left for another shot at it. I mean, fuck I am tired. Being single is exotic enough, I barely know what it's about. I think time is my best ally now. I've got other things to do. Of course, I'm open for any kind of smash-and-grab-type of affair, but those things are fucking rare. You read about it all the time in books, they are quite common in movies but I wonder if they are not the biggest fantasy of all fantasies. That two people in urban life could just have a little thingy and that would be the end of it. There are always ties that bind. Then again, if you want to prove me wrong, I don't mind.
And there are one or two exceptions of course. I still wonder what The Queen of Arkansas from the Island days is doing. And I would really love to see the woman across the water again. And then again, perhaps The Scully Is Out There. Who knows. As Mulder put it, I want to believe.
