Singles</title><description>Singletude is a positive, supportive singles blog about life choices for the new single majority. It's about dating and relationships, yes, but it's also about the other 90% of your life--family, friends, career, hobbies--and flying solo and sane in this crazy, coupled world. Singletude isn't about denying loneliness. It's about realizing that whether you're single by choice or by circumstance, this single life is your life to live.</description><link>http://singletude.blogspot.com/</link><managingEditor>noreply@blogger.com (Clever Elsie)</managingEditor><generator>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>192</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>25</openSearch:itemsPerPage><atom10:link xmlns:atom10="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/Singletude" /><feedburner:info uri="singletude" /><atom10:link xmlns:atom10="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" rel="hub" href="http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/" /><feedburner:emailServiceId>Singletude</feedburner:emailServiceId><feedburner:feedburnerHostname>http://feedburner.google.com</feedburner:feedburnerHostname><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513236913461668571.post-3572689372308778174</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Apr 2010 19:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-04-01T20:43:05.556-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">poll</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">singles</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">What Parts of Singletude Do You Like Most and What Would You Like to See More Of?</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Singletude</category><title>Poll: What Parts of Singletude Do You Like Most and What Would You Like to See More Of?</title><atom:summary>At the end of the Grimm Brothers story "Clever Elsie," the titular heroine runs off into the night, never to be heard from again.
