Are you lonesome tonight?

Being alone STINKS. Being alone at home STINKS. Being alone at home on a Saturday night STINKS. Being alone at home alone on a Saturday night since you've sent your boyfriend back to his home far far away STINKS. Being alone at home on a Saturday night since you've sent your boyfriend back to his home far far away and all your housemates are out partying STINKS. Being alone at home on a Saturday night since you've sent your boyfriend back to his home far far away and all your housemates are out partying and therefore, you're left with only the tv set as a companion STINKS.

Gosh.. how I wish I had Elvis with me right now. I mean, it was him after all who crooned "Are you lonesome tonight?", promising his company to whoever who answered 'yes'.. Thank God I have cable!!!

Yes, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that I'm home alone on a Saturday night with naught but the autumn wind to accompany me. Ok, so it's a good time for me to catch up on some 'ME' time or even to do some schoolwork, but seriously, is anyone actually naive enough to believe that a normal person is able to be productive on a Saturday night? I don't know about u, but I sure as hell am not!

Sighh... sometimes I find that I don't even have the time to catch my breath, let alone organize my life or do some work. And other times, like now, I find myself staring into space puzzling over exactly how did I turn into this big, boring bum.. I used to be so much more fun and interesting, u know!!!

I blame it on my surroundings. (hehe, as always.. can't possibly blame myself now, can I?) Back home, in the land of no-worries-about-money, every single day, it was always a case of "Places to go, people to see". I used to thoroughly enjoy going out to "hang" with my friends and my family always always complained that they never got to see me much! These days, I should be happy enough if I get out once a week!!! I guess it's different when you've got a set of friends who don't really fancy going out too much and prefer a quiet night in, I guess.. Don't get me wrong, I love a quiet night in alright, but sometimes, I just wanna go out, let my hair down and have some fun! Sighh.. Guess in some ways, that's why I enjoy visiting my dear WS in his town. His housemates are friends of mine from back home, who are always up for a fun night and basically have similar values (and spending power) as me.. ah well..

So I guess that still leaves me exactly where I am right now - Alone. At home. On a Saturday night. With the tv.

This STINKS...
