Alone time.
One of the trickier aspects of my personality is my intense need to be alone from time to time; I'm sure it comes from my being an only child with few friends. I didn't really know the extent of this about myself until I moved in with Melba, since my previous relationships didn't include much shackin' and I always had a place of my own to go home to. With Melba back in Minneapolis, I had the studio - a little room away from home where I could go and get my alone time whenever the whim struck me. Now that I'm back in LA, I need to find a new studio or another way to get my beloved solitude. Without that time to myself I start getting crabby with Melba for no good reason, which isn't fair to her.
What I really need is a garage. Somewhere I could work on and park a car and my motorcycle, and maybe even have a little desk where I could hang out and poke around on the computer too. Hmm.

I can definitely relate to this. I often wonder if, when I find the right person, I won't need so much alone time and won't mind giving up my space. You're telling me that's not the case. Hmm.
Maybe, maybe not... I used to spend an awful lot of time alone, and I don't think I need nearly that much time to myself anymore. I suspect it's all about striking the right balance - something I haven't quite been able to do yet. But I'm workin' on it.
You're being conditioned to believe you don't need the "alone time"... has there been any water-boarding?
No water boarding... yet. How's it working out for you?
And when are you coming out for a visit?
