I miss seeing Jim's posts since he began his eclusion.

Facebook seems so trivial since I settled in to my eclusion.

Eclosing Hour 

When one wakes up and has their coffee (or morning beverage) in silence. No one talks and one is allowed to sort out their thoughts and lift their brian fog. It’s like cocktail hour, but socializing is taboo.

Other names: Personal Percolation Process, Cup of Silence, and The Morning Mug.
After Eclosing Hour breakfast will be served.

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
