You know, there are very few times in my life when I find myself sitting around thinking, "I wish I was married," but today, I mean I'm happy. You know? I like my life. I like my friends. I like my stuff. My time, my space, my TV...But every now and then, just for a moment, I wish I had a partner, someone to pick up the slack. Someone to wait for the cable guy, make me coffee in the morning, meet the stupid sink before it gets sent back to Canada.
