aparently finding a girlfriend while in college is a taboo. this is especially the case if you happen to be enrolled at a small, christian, liberal arts type school, huntington college for instance. i can see how even the idea of looking for someone who might potentially have the same views and values as you is a bit off-putting, but please bear with me. i think there's something to be said for someone who values thier values and wants to share thier life with someone who is on the same page, but let's be honest what are the odds of finding a good christian girl at a christian school (all joking aside)? oh right, they're really, really, really, good. now the girl who brought the idea of not at least considering looking for a mate while at school makes a descent point as far as not considering your school the only place to find your mate. however, it's easy for her to make this point because she has already found a mate. But wait, she found him at a small, christian, liberal arts school, like Huntington.
i find it odd that this is often the case. the people who scream the loudest about this issue are those who already have someone. i find it even more odd that until they found that special someone their whole life was a lament about not having someone. 'oh whoa is me! i've found my soulmate, but it will never work out because i'm too blinded by my desire to be with someone that i can't see that he's/she's not really my soulmate.' now you tell me how this person can have the sack to criticize me when i mention to them the fact that it'd be nice to be with someone. after seeing preoccupation with finding someone dancing in her eyes for years i'm blown away by the comments made to me by her earlier today.
so i guess if looking for someone to be with at this school is out of the question i must be doomed to die alone! oh well, i guess i'll just go wallow in my gigantic pool of self-pity (aparently i have one! who knew?) ,come to grips with the fact that i suck and pray to God that I get a date before I die.

no. really, blake, it's cool -- i mean, i like it when you blog about me. and for your enjoyment -- i didn't find my "mate" (as you lovingly put it) until after he graduated - i didn't even know he existed. we never went to school together -- he was just around. to throw it in your face alittle more, i wasn't even searching him out. ODD how that works, i suppose. and to assume that he and i don't have the same ideas on morale and such is absurd, i value having similarities just like you. weird, huh? one more thing, i wouldn't ever use the "term" soulmate -- i don't dig that, it's a little naive for me, thanks.

never knew you were an asshole,
