lady liberty

i don't know if i have ever said this in all seriousness but...
i should be or could be in a relationship. boy/girlfriend style.

now, finally, should be and could be a good time for me to do so.
the third-wave feminist in me isn't the least bit disgusted by such statements.
after all, i'm practically in one anyway.

or i should/could get a pet.
there is something wrong that i am thinking "one or the other, a pet or a relationship."

i have the opportunity (opporpoonity) to be in a relationship.
this relationship would be great. i like this person. a lot.
except i also like doing what i please when i please. a lot.
and i don't mean this in a hookupsville, usa way. (this is 2008, after all.)
i mean i like hanging out with friends until 4am and not having to answer to anyone but the spider i'm letting live with me.
(he greets me when i come home.
and he scolds. this morning especially.
i swear he moved his front legs atop one another in a shaming motion.
i told him i should/could crush him and he waltzed away. we both know he has the upper hand(s).)

maybe i need a human roommate, a human boy/girlfriend.
i would like to live with a boy/girlfriend, as crazy as that sounds coming from me.
but first i need to get one.
if only the reality was as ideal as the thought.

i should.
i could.
i would?

i have grass-is-greener syndrome.
