I can&#8217;t say that I was ever particularly excited to be living alone, at first I was reeling from the divorce and coming to terms with living alone for the first time in my life. I&#8217;ve been able to enjoy the novelty of living alone during these past few months, but I fear that&#8217;s wearing off. Evenings especially lately are tough, and going out with friends hasn&#8217;t helped as much as I&#8217;d like it to. It turns out that the freedom and <a href=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/102008\/apartment_shower_curtain_med.jpg\">pink castle shower curtains<\/a> aren&#8217;t enough, I really don&#8217;t like living alone.

I have no doubt that I&#8217;ll have that someday, but until then I suspect I&#8217;ll have a few more raining evenings like tonight when I&#8217;m pining for it and listening to cheesy old <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Heart_(band)\">Heart<\/a> songs (hey, be glad I didn&#8217;t go as far as breaking out the Patsy Cline).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I moved into this apartment about 6 months ago.
