There’s only so many times one can play “I Will Survive,” isn’t there? I mean, statistically, it must be in heavy rotation given the amount of Karaoke bars and breakups in a 25-mile radius.
Hearing it is as horrible as singing it, sorry Gloria Gaynor but it’s true. It’s akin to what college kids have done to every song by Bob Marley.
But here I sit, after yet another breakup, playing the obligatory song while wearing the uniform of the depressed; sweats. Pretty, it ain’t. Maybe it’s time to fully embrace my spinsterhood? Go out a buy some odd number of cats and begin yelling at neighborhood kids while owning a stunning collection of mumus.
I think the transition of city gal, living on a diet of olives, martinis, parties and men, to a full-blown spinster would most effect my fantastic collection of shoes. I don’t know many spinsters with hot pink chromed heel Steve Madden’s. And seriously, I can’t donate stilettos. It’s like petting a cat backwards against its fur, a crime against nature.
For those of you missing the point, I’m not bitter, I’m just alone. So how do I get out of this rut? I figured I’d try to dive into something, like taking up running. But I’m sure Jimmy Choo doesn’t make a rumming shoe. Maybe I could becoming a health nut or join a book club or start knitting? But nope, nada, niet. The desire just isn’t there.
While at times I’m content being the third or fifth wheel. The extra ticket friend. But, whether its pity or friendship, it does bite even if its just a little.
Now I think about it, the only stable and consistent relationship I’m having is with the video store guy. He saves the new releases and suggests movies. He’s very thoughtful, very cute and very young. I give him my mood and he has the answer. Oddly so does the guy that owns the local liquor store.
But it’s cool. Don’t worry about me. Because you’d think “I’d crumble, you think I’d lay down and die? Oh no, not I-I will survive.”
Hey, what can I say; it’s clichéd for a reason.

Sorry, I didn’t see your comment on my blog until recently. Stupid Blogspot doesn’t tell you “hey, you’ve got a comment; read it!” I hesitate to say I enjoyed this post, but I did, as much as I like singing “I Will Survive” at karaoke bars. Thanks for the link.
