Completely on impulse, I bought a vibrator. I'll speak of this later. For now, I have a more immediate concern - a question, if you will.

Now consider this scenario, involving me spending most of the day on the phone:

Main topic of conversation #1: Raj has found a girlfriend who he really likes.

Main topic of conversation #2: Chan has found a girl he is falling in love with.

Later, at half eleven in the night, I call The Syrian, and for the first time in three weeks of phone contact, the phone cuts off in mid-ring - meaning one of two things:

1. A dropped call.

2. A declined call.

I call again. Same thing happens.

For the first time in several hours today, I am not on the phone. There is a knot in my chest.

Required: Why is there a knot in my chest?

To make it easier for you, I'll make this test multiple choice:

a) Because everyone is getting into a relationship, and I can't.

b) Because The Syrian is doing something at half eleven on a Saturday night which is making him too busy for me (note, that we have spoken while he was at parties, bars etc before with no issue, so it cannot be that)

c) all of the above

You know what they say... when in doubt, choose "c".

I am not implying anything by the above statement, because honestly folks, I don't know the answer myself.
