Computers can replace men, who knew?

Every once in a while, I'll have one of those conversations with a friend. You know, those conversations where you become privy to private details about the wonderful, energetic reason that she and her boyfriend glowingly grin and their neighbors blush.

Well, anyway, as she was telling me about their late night love song bringing down the house I felt an emotion. What was that? Hot? No.... Embarrassed? No.....Lonely?....Gosh, no... Jealous? Bingo, that's the one. I realized that while I was happy for her, I felt a little jealous.

I'll admit, I had to work hard to squish that negative emotion down because my dear friend finally found the happiness that she deserves. Really. I mean it. I found my happiness and scared my sunshine away. I had my fun. It's her turn, gosh darn it.

I hung up. I thought about ways to make myself feel better. Yep. I get more sleep and that's a good thing, right? My neighbors can't blush around me either. Heck, I must look like a very uptight conservative...but...

then I realized that my neighbors do hear screaming in the middle of the night.

My laptop sits by my bedside.

It has Vista.

It drives me crazier than the hottest guy on the planet.

Ugh!!!
