All the Single Ladies

We want to start this post by saying that we have a great group of girl friends here in Charleston who are for the most part… VERY single (minus the cutest couple ever

Sarah, our mean muggin pal, and her boyfriend of forever Reel). 

Recently, our newly single friend Laura casually dropped that she just “wanted to start dating”... as if the rest of us have been shooting down dates left and right all this time.    She was confused by the scoffs  (have we mentioned how single we are?).  Laura's time being single has clearly been significantly different than ours.  This conversation has led to some soul searching over the past few weeks.

Despite the fact that we are the most awesome people you’d ever meet, we some how managed to scrounge around and find a few minor reasons as to why we are currently single.

Our List  

 

1.     Netflix asks us at least once a day if we want to keep playing.  We have both seen all the seasons of The Office multiple times-for the first four seasons, probably a minimum of 10 times. Each. 

2.     We consider good fashion to be oversized men's shirts and sweaters from Goodwill.  Also note that real pants are worn sparingly.

3.     We don’t think showering more than 3x a week is necessary.  Can you really be shocked when our daily activities include crafting, Netflix and consuming Diet Coke?

4.     Messy is quirky in our heads.  Our family and friends do not agree.  We still think we’re cute. 

5.     We incorporate knitting into party time with friends.  In the past week, we’ve been called grandmas more than once.  Whatever, it’s a creative pregame and multitasking at its best.

6.     We think we’re HILARIOUS… at all times…. To the point where we think we should have our own show. Like we want cameras installed in our homes to catch all of our witty banter. It’s still confusing to us that this is a con. Because we’re SO funny.

7.     We twitter blast irrelevant and outdated celebrities.  Enough said.

 

8.     We compliment ourselves on completely mediocre accomplishments, if not just things regular humans do. Like the dishes. Or making our beds. And of course showering.  Oh and being social and nice.

9.     The most exciting night of the week is watching 2 hours of The Bachelor. To the point that the week with TWO episodes of The Bachelor has been one of our busiest weeks.   Also, the only organized sport we’ve played in the past few years has been The Bachelor Bracket.

10. At any given point during the day, we’re either talking about celebrities, vampires or diet coke.  Sometimes we even combine and drink diet cokes while watching Vampire Diaries and have serious discussions on which of the actors have friend potential. 

Friend po-ten-tial: [ frend puh-ten-shuhl ]: the ability to complement, entertain and be entertained by our current social group

11. We have no interest in meeting new people.  Except Jeremy Bronson.

We would also like to point out that we loudly brainstormed for this post in a local hipster coffee bar and we’re pretty sure no one thinks we’re being ironic.
