the dainty cyclone is coming

I know, I know. Another survey. But this one seems timely...

Would you kiss the last person you kissed, again?
Uhhhh.... yeah, why not.

How many girlfriends/ boyfriends have told you they love you?
2

Have you ever thought that you were going to marry a person?
Yes, but I always got out of it.

Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt?
Yes, both in the waxing and gibbous stages.

Have you ever made a boyfriend or girlfriend cry?
Yes, but not on purpose.

Are you happier single or in a relationship?
Single! Life is so much less complicated!

Have you ever been cheated on?
Oh, my yes.

Have you ever told someone you loved them and didn't mean it?
I have been on the gibbous side of meaning it a couple of times...

Have you ever had your heart broken?
Yeah.

Talk to any of your Exes?
All except one. Which is for the best.

If you could go back in time and change things, would you?
Nah. My exes are all paired up with much more suitable women.

Think any of your exes feel the same?
I don't think there's anyone who would break a vow or anything, and most everyone is paired up. 'Cept fer me! I loves em an' leaves em!

Do you believe that you are a good girlfriend/boyfriend or friend?
I think I'm o.k. at it... I don't know. I don't really like it all that much. It has it's advantages obviously, but there's a lot about being in a relationship that is annoying and foreign and uncomfortable, and I only start dating people when I really can't help it. I like being alone better and just doing it with somebody once in a while.

Have you dated someone who was not good to you?
OH, MY yes.

Have you dated someone older than you?
Yes, by 12 years.

Younger?
Yes, by 11 years. I'm a sassy lassie, you know.

Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance?
Absolutely.

Do you Believe in love at first sight?
I believe it's probably happened to other people. Just never to me.

Ever been given/gave an engagement ring?
No. Lots of proposals, no rings. I call that BULLSHIT.

Ever been given/gave a promise ring?
Nope.

Do you ever want to get married?
I don't really want to. I was raised by a single mom, and I just never learned how to do married. I am better at being in relationships now than I have ever been, but I still think they're a challenge. In short, if I ever went out with you seriously, you can be sure that I must have really liked you.

Has anyone ever told you they wanted to marry you?
Yeah, two serious proposals. Didn't take either.

Ever liked your friend's boyfriend or girlfriend?
I don't think so... I think I may have noticed a good-looking one or two, but no crushes ever that I can remember.

Does heartbreak really feel as bad as it sounds?
Yeah, but there's something amazing about it, too. I was never a big dater as a youth, and decided one day in college to take the bull by the horns and ask this guy I liked to go out with me, and DIG THIS, he makes out with me, goes home and tells ALL OUR FRIENDS that this HAPPENED, and then comes back and tells me that he can't go out with me because he's just not attracted to me. So that was pretty heartbreaking. Well, now that I read this, it was probably more humiliating than heartbreaking. But I did feel really bad that I liked him and he wasn't interested. BUT... I felt this kind of amazing wonderful pain at having put myself out there and allowed myself to be so vulnerable, even if I did get burned. So as bad as it felt, it was sort of good.

I've been through real heartbreak too, and when your love has terminally disappointed you and it has to be over even though you are still so, so, so much in love. When you're in it there is really almost nothing that you can do or read or hear that can possibly convince you that you are in the middle of a Positive Learning Experience. In fact, if you try to say this to someone who is in the middle of feeling real heartbreak, you deserve the punch in the nuts that you will surely receive. But, the truth is, I feel like my gigantical heartbreak of two years ago was in actuality a wonderful experience. All the things that went into it, all the mortifications of the ego and self, all of it, it was completely worth it and made me the person I am. And I'm groovy! If I met myself, I would totally hang out with me. And I know that sounds facetious, but I think I would not have said that as easily prior to the Positive Learning Experience.

So LOVE ON, brothers and sisters!!
SMOOCH!
Love, Cats
