I will have to admit. Last night was pretty fun. At Maru, me and my Muse split an appetizer and each ordered two orders of sushi. The appetizer was firecracker shrimp.  Of course, I got my usual, which was the Madagascar Roll, with the burn sauce on the side (since they don’t do that anymore unless you ask). My other one was the Sexy Bacon Roll. My Muse also got a Madagascar Roll with a Sexy Bacon Roll.

Along with the Sushi, we each got a dinner. We each got the Hibachi Teriyaki Glazed Chicken.

After the dinner, I went to Meijer and got her a card and the biggest box of chocolate that I could find. Sure, it cost me $20, but she was worth it. When I was done shopping, she took care of hers. We then went home.

At home, we signed our cards and exchanged them. I opened hers and she opened mine. I then got out the big heart-shaped box of chocolates. She, of course, had to outdo me with an even BIGGER box, with a bouquet of roses.

After that, we went to the bedroom, and we…kissed. That’s all we did. The clothes remained on, as I vow to remain pure through my wedding day. This includes fictional women.

Last night was fun. Yes, it was a date. But a purely fictional one. If anything, a simulation of what I can expect in the future. Getting to reality, I am single, and fortunately there is a day to celebrate that. That day is today. And to all you couples out there, you’re not invited. For Single’s Awareness Day, it’s SINGLES only. Not couples. Your day was yesterday. Sorry.

Twin Muse: Last night was fun, even though it was purely fictional.

It was quite enjoyable. At least I wasn’t alone.

Twin Muse: And neither was I. Besides. I’m getting you ready for the real thing. When “she” comes along, won’t you want to be ready?

Indeed I would. There is no substitute for the real thing, except for you, of course.

Twin Muse: And I’m the perfect substitute. One that is deeply in love with you.

But I am still single, since Intangibles don’t count. Happy Single’s Awareness Day…

Twin Muse: Technically, they don’t. I know. Technically, I too am single, since I don’t have another Intangible to be with…But wasn’t last night fun? We should go on more dates…

Maybe another time. But today, I need to get ready. I need to find a job…

Twin Muse: I’ll let you do that. Get ready, then!

I will. But I need to end this, first.

Twin Muse: I’ll let you. Time for a shower!

Here’s today in a nutshell. Today, I will be looking for work.  Anyway, time to get ready.

Today’s high is going be be 38 degrees and the silver lining is enjoying the gift of singleness.

To those of you who are still single like me, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Twin Muse: Have fun at the event tonight!  Time for a shower…
