can you believe someone said that to me?!?

so i have had this idea for a while now and since i woke up way early and can't go back to sleep i thought now is a good a time as ever.  i was chatting online the other day and someone asked me what was wrong with me.  i had told the person i was single and in my early thirties and a professional and their response communicated that there must be something broken or not working or out of order!  i was slightly taken aback by the comment, but then realized that i often do the same to my fellow single comrades.  i remember when i first moved here, the talk of my new friends was this pretty awesome guy.  he was single, successful, service minded, and just all around cool...anyway, we would dwell on the possibilities of why a guy like that would still be single.  we put him in the same box that this person put me the other day...the box that says there must be something wrong!  it's the same box that is left over from a garage sale and gets given away to charity--not a fun place to be!  i know plenty of people who are married and broken or out of order...being "not broken" is not a requisite for being married.  but also, is being married the end all and be all for all people.  can we single people not have a full life as well?  don't get me wrong, i am not saying that i want to be single for the rest of my life, but i am not going to put my life on hold until i am married or moreover in order to chase someone down to marry.  so here's to a blog that explores some of the above more in depth, that is a place to chronicle the single life of a single woman in her early thirties, that serves as a place to vent some of the comments that people make about the single life, and a place to disprove the comment that has even come from my own lips...there must be something wrong if he/she's still single!
