Should I get a pet rabbit?

In the midst of my latest breakup crisis that remains slightly undefined even though it is painfully obvious that we have irreconcilable differences regarding our future, I have started to fill my days and nights with distractions. I hate coming home to an empty apartment. My apartment feels like a prison cell. It's my cinderblock palace with no windows and very little ventilation, and it may as well be a tomb. I started painting a canvas of a giant window, and then ran into the dilemma of realizing how loaded with meaning a window really was... now I can't finish it because I'm caught up trying to figure out what I want to be out there.

I took up running this week and decided that running will be my new boyfriend. I've gone twice. My new boyfriend, "Mr. Runningshoes," thinks I'm fat and out of shape. I agree with him. I had a friend who runs marathons set up a beginner plan for me to work up to longer distances that won't burn me out and make me want to quit in frustration. So far so good! I am sore today from my second run, but if I stick to going every other day, 3x a week, it should be okay. I notice already that I am enjoying the small break after work to listen to music. And I sweat buckets, like no other workout I've had in years. Btw, I HATE running. But it's working. And it's free.

To distract myself from my lonely apartment and lack of socialization, I'm thinking about getting a pet rabbit. Right now, I really dig Checkered Giants, but likely I'll get a rabbit from a rescue organization. I can't justify buying a bunny from a breeder. We shall see. If I get a checker, I'm naming it Heifer. Or Chuck. Maybe.

 I have been researching them online and I'm going to a pet expo tomorrow with a bunny-owning friend of mine. She loves her bunny, and she thinks I'll love one, too. I'm still not quite sure it's what I want because rabbits don't seem very snuggly, but I guess they're more snuggly than fish or a turtle. Plus, they can do tricks if you train them. They have a pretty long life span and can be litter trained, so those are also pluses.

I can't actually have pets in my apartment (shh), but rabbits are super quiet. I don't trust cats to be silent apartment ninjas after past experiences, and a dog is out of the question. God, I miss my dog. Ughhhhhh. I just need a sidekick. Like, bad.
