Drunk Buzz

It might not be funny to you, but it is to me. I think we all feel more compelled to spill our guts, so to speak, when we've had alcohol to drink. I guess that's why I'm here right now. It's fair to say that I haven't been using my blog for everything I wanted to, I mean, it's my sanctuary, somewhere I can go to heal my feelings when all of my friends are a stretch too far to talk to. I don't know why, but having a blog means I can share my thoughts without really sharing myself, you know?
While I really don't want to analyse my own thoughts right now, it occurs to me that my relative loneliness at the moment is elevated when I've had a drink or two and have nobody to snuggle up to. The person I was in love with and I (I'm not any more, although we are great friends) both feel some loneliness. I also began talking to some female friends and I've improved my confidence but I do feel that it is difficult to be a single person and meet new people. The worst thing is that we are expected to go out at weekends and get this drunk in order to find new people to talk to. Isn't that irony?
One final thought. Wouldn't life be a million times easier if we could all just be 100% blind honest with people? "I like you".... "Well, i like you too"..."drinks at 7 tonight?".... "I'm yours" That's the kind of thing I mean, it's all dragged out, trying to pretend you don't like someone, hiding your true feelings, hinting that you like them without them getting a big head, avoiding getting in to the friend zone while maintaining your credibility and openness. Why can't you just tell someone they're hot without getting that look you give your dog when he's done something on the carpet?! Well, I never claimed to be able to solve the mysteries of life, but at least I'm noticing them more.
Peace.
