let me live vicariously through you

in the last few weeks, a particularly busy season of work consumed me in its little bubble such that i didn't even think of anything else. it's usually customary that when in this busy season of work, my colleagues and i drink a lot. which just means that sleep is kept to a bare minimum. however this time, i've simply turned off drinking so much in the last year that i realised that i was being somewhat "anti-social" and turning down invites in favor of sleep.

yes, i'm officially boring. i still have fun in my usual way of just being kinda loopy. but partying? no way.

and since there's no longer any ups and downs and new boys featuring in my love life, i have simply taken to living vicariously and poking my nose into other people's love life.

recently i've been curious bout the alpha boy's friend's love life. as in he now has one. at the age of 26, she's the first girl he's dated and the first girl he's been attached to. and soon i assume she will be the first girl he's kissed and has sex with (hopefully if all goes well). it's like a coming of age movie, only that he's a lil late. not that i'm judging him on that, being a really late bloomer myself. but it's just so exciting.

this is testament to the fact that both parties could do everything that is wrong by the how-to-date book (such as asking the girl to rate you after one IM conversation of which you haven't even met her. or calling him terms of endearment even before he does so. or a double date with your friends for the second face to face meeting.) and yet still wind up being attached a mere 2 weeks after "meeting" each other online. brilliant.

now if only he'll let me in on some insights on what exactly is going on in his new relationship. i'm burning with curiosity.
