Being single when you don't want to be can feel pretty rough at times, but it does have its moments. For instance, last night I was watching the movie Thoroughbreds, petting my cat and eating a sleeve of saltines, when my freshman year college roommate texted me and asked if I wanted to meet him that night while he was in town visiting his mother. And since my only plans for that evening were literally to read Marxist literature, drink a beer and go to bed, I said sure. And I didn't need to consult with anyone about where I was going, who I'd be with, or how late I'd be out. It felt wonderful.
