Multiple partners as a matter of fact; and no, this is not Mitt Romney's blog. I'm talking about you, the readers. I want more than one kind of people to take something away from my entries. Perhaps someone will take comfort in knowing they're not alone in being alone. Maybe you're not someone who goes out every night to listen to music that's way too loud and hang around people that are way too drunk.
