In one of my favorite episodes of Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw gave a catchy name to something that until that day remained both endearing and ever-present in my life, yet always, somehow, nameless: Secret Single Behavior.
I just got home from work. I am still partially in my work clothes- namely, the top part (Secret Behavior #1: walking around the house pantless). I went straight for the refrigerator as I walked through the door (Secret Single Behavior #2: do not pass "go," do not collect $200, do not take off your shoes, do not wash your hands, go straight for the food!). I looked lovingly at the remnants of cheesecake and no, I did not cut a slice, I took the whole cake into the study (usually something I frown upon when done by Stas), planted it in front of the computer (and myself), took a fork (at least I bothered to use utensils!) and started to gorge myself on the creamy goodness. Large chunks, straight from the fridge and into my mouth. (Secret Single Behavior #3: inconsiderate eating. You know, like those people who only eat the really tasty center part of the watermelon?). Add to that the sublime pleasure of the loud bad pop music I put on, and you will get a picture of cake-covered bliss. (Secret Single Behavior #4: really bad pop. Preferably, singing along to really bad pop and "relating." That is, making ridiculous suffering facial expressions while bellowing out "Once upona time I was falling in love, now I'm only falling apart. Nothing I can say, total eclipse of the heart.")
Now, of course I can do some of this when my darling is home. In fact, Stas couldn't give a rat's ass about me eating straight from the fridge, and might even enourage the whole parading around pantless thing (and it's not like either one is a huge disciplinary violation anyway :)). Bad pop music? Not so much, perhaps, but I'm not exactly craving Maxim every minute of my life either...Point is, most things we do while alone, we can probably enjoy with another person. But there is somehting about those secret single behaviors that really makes them most enjoyable when they are just that: secret and single :)

And on that note, what secret single behaviors do you have? Doesn't matter if you are single or attached, by the way. I think that secret single behaviors are much more about things that you do when nobody is watching,than things that you do when you are "single."

У меня опять жор. Мать-перемать.

А сегодня почти весна. В бетонных джунглях нет почек и побегов, трудно разобраться в запахах: китайская жрачка и молодая трава мало отличаются друг от друга в забитом носу горожанки.
Я очень люблю когда теплеет. Это отлично. В эту весну я всё ещё студентка. 

I always feel really aweful when I jump on yet another bandwagon. Which is why nobody is gonna know about this little creation for a while. At least not until I know that it's taking off. So far, however, I'm enjoying this better than Diaryland. This is my little secret with myself! Secret single behavior!
