Oh so you are not "attached", serious?

this is while i blog away the time i'm supposed to be coding the latest customer friendly software as part of my internship .. well, with the lunar new year round the corner, there's that holiday mood and a festive feel - my most convenient excuse to be lazy and play truant ;-) anyway why i sat to put my thoughts down today is i had this interesting conversation with a friend of mine yesterday. this guy, i've known him for a couple of years now .. we were just generally chatting while he was in a mood to give away more than i really expected .. so well, there came some confessions - how he had a girlfriend and the typical boy like non committing attitude .. hehe .. and then obviously came some questions .. about me and my status .. geez .. obviously i told him i had NOTHING going on .. cdnt tell him, i mean of all ppl him about joe ... and pat came the reply .. "oh so you are not "attached", serious?" .. umm now what was that supposed to mean .. ppl thought i was attached?! or was it just trying to be sneaky and get more out of me .. hmmm .. joe sure wud be interested, lets hope so at least .. then ofcos he had to ask about his own ex crush .. probably brought all this up to find out abt her, i tell you he's one sneaky character - really gotto think god knows how many times before telling him smth .. considering he din quite sound too interested abt my own stories, i'm afraid he's nt my channel to get past to my darling .. or cud he just play cupid .. hmm ... lets hope .. its the valentine season and with love in the air and all that, whats wrong with hoping? *winkz*

talking of valentines, nopes, no plans again .. not yet in the blues state, but am pretty certain that's so coming this year, with nothing solid to look fwd to and nothing much really happening i'll be all dreamy and teary i'm sure .. bet we'll have misty adding fuel to my miseries as well .. oh how wonderful ..

oh yeah, did ya notice that "attached" .. a concept i'm still figuring out .. cos what on earth you mean you're attached to someone?! good gracious! heard of someone being gf/bf .. in a relationship/seeing each other .. attached sounds almost parasitic .. and from where i see it .. all the couples i know in college are quite parasitic .. they're literally stuck, to each other .. and seem to have nothing beyond .. no life outside the relationship .. making the whole attached thing look like a tiring, exhausting affair .. i'm not sure thats what they call true love .. i mean i see these "couples" do every damn thing together .. irrespective of interests .. compromise is fine with me, but this seems a little overboard don't you think? might sound really harsh and judgemental, especially coming from someone who's nvr really been "attached" .. but well well .. this wudnt be what i want as my excuse for true love .. i will nvr be able to give up all i have and all i like just for one somebody .. talking of all this, comes up another one of my favorite hot topics .. LDRs .. long distance relationships .. thats one more thing i cant believe in .. i mean, what is the point of being together, if you r sooo not together, you see each other like once in a year or less .. but at the same time the idea does sound damn romantic .. involves so much emotional energy and commitment to be with someone even when they're literally oceans apart .. hmmm.. its a different thing if people knew each other earlier may be, or if they were seeing each other when something came up and they had to part .. but starting afresh .. my pick wud be a strict no no to LDRs .. which kinda has become my simplest excuse to Kay Kay, each time things start looking weird with us .. friends - long distance - yeah, sounds great .. beyond that .. nah, not my cuppa tea!
