What are the odds that she would fall in love with a 28 year old married guy with 3 kids? She could never look at him in the face, then he would know she was staring. She would only look at his shoes. Brown sandals. He had a tattoo on his calf, but she didn't know what it meant. She always wanted to ask...but never did.

He wrote a poem once during class. She tried to peer over nonchalantly. She was probably obvious. Considering all the relationships she'd had, she wasn't as smooth as everyone thought. All she could do was write Bush lyrics all over her notebook and try not to stare.

Her friend told her only rich guys went skiing. And he had a ski rack on his car, definitely rich.

She hated not being able to connect. She thought they could connect. She was wrong. All her little happy ending romances she played out in her head were for nothing. She hated her imagination. It hurt her.

He didn't look 28, but it didn't matter to her that he was. He reminded her of Gavin.

Ok, let's get down to the point of this charade. She took a drill to her head, just like in the movie PI . Moral of the story: guys suck. Chances are you will just settle for a guy so you don't have to be alone. Maybe I am being cynical, but it's pretty messed up to take a drill to your head.

Is anyone ever really "happily married"? *the answer is no* Maybe life would be better if it were like The Giver where everyone is assigned a spouse. They were happy in The Giver, well up until Jonas received the bad memories, but that's not important...

I'm bad at tangents. It's really hard to tell a very serious story with a moral when every ten seconds someone is stopping by for "help". That's right guys, today is Thursday, which means duty-day for Megan the RA.

I guess that's it...I'll end with some Bush...this might be a repeat, but I love this song:

As darkness craves the mind. We come undone without our pride. No time on earth to come. All the pleasures just begun.
