A Loner's Concerto 3

After months of favoring solitude, this weekend i've had loads of family time.

Denisse even spent the night on Saturday. It has to have been more than half a year since i extended my last invitation.

Yesterday i totally had flashing moments of "Boy, when do i get to be alone again?!?"

This morning, as we were getting ready to dim sum with my bro and his, i found myself asking Denisse wistfully, "After lunch, you're not in a rush to take off, are ya?"

It's funny. For the longest time i prefer to have next to zero human interaction (nothing beyond cyber anyway). And once i've had it, it's like i dread to lose it. Which was probably why i opted to stave off the want for as long as i could. Again, desire breeds misery. It's inevitable.

This is gonna be an inappropriate analogy, but it is like sex. Cuz i can go months and months without, and be convinced i don't miss it. Then once i've had it again, it's like, "Oooh... when do i get to do that again?"
