dear internet,
i am newly single in a new town. most nights i come home laden with KFC (i walk to a far away outlet to pre-burn off the fat) and lounge around to watch HBO, ignore date requests and party invites, no longer go to work hung over 3 days out of 5 and generally revel in having nothing better to do than have some quiet time after months of partying with the wrong people. is this:

    Your KFCfest is not a terrible thing... if there's a finite end in sight. Use it as a way to "detox" from your months of debauchery; a resetting of the habits, if you will. But make sure that when it starts to feel like a routine, you shake things up with some efforts to meet new people. You can't be BFF with Colonel Sanders, you know. He's dead.

    you might want to rotate out kfc with some other things... eventually all that fried chicken is going to come back and sit squarely in (as opposed to bite, since chickens have no teeth) your ass. just remember to get out once in awhile, and invite people over for kfc and hbo.

    I agree, it's great to detox. Eventually (maybe) you will want to hang out with people more. Just make sure they are the right people. No one likes a vicious cycle.

    Time on your own is good. Use it to calm down and work out what you want, then move forward.

    Actually, it sounds great not to have to go to work with a hangover. Maybe you should consider keeping some of your present habits even after you feel ready to enter the real world again?
