Why Being Really Lonely Is Sometimes Super Awesome

Well, it's that time of year again. Another Christmas, another year I'm spending the holidays with my cats. The problem is, they are atheist so they don't get in the holiday spirit.

I've come to expect to spend the holidays alone. Going home is usually not an choice(or at least one I am willing to choose). In college, I spent the day with my Jewish friends - they know what's open on Christmas (which is usually only theaters and Chinese restaurants).

I'm the guy who usually volunteers to work on Christmas. I mean if I have no plans of caroling or making cookies I might as well get double time, right?

But don't get me wrong, I'm not a Scrooge about Christmas, I enjoy the festiveness of it all, I just can't find my holiday spirit.

This year is particularly hard just because I truly am alone. No girlfriend, no one at all. And I can't help but think of her, spending her holiday with him. Almost makes me sick. This time last year, she was cheating on me and breaking my heart and in the end, she got that she wanted.

Well, at least I got Muffin.
