Arg!

Members of society and the blogsphere if I could change one thing about the universe I would make is so that your relationship status would be stamped on your forehead. It would revolutionize the dating and mating game, ensure a reduction to the awkward moments at the bar, and let you know that you are at least on an equal playing field with a member of the opposite sex.

To be fair I know pretty much where I am in life, with respect to my life stage and what my needs are. I know that I appear impossibly complicated to members outside of my small inner circle, however let's be honest. I'm you're typical soon to be college gradate. Freaking out about life outside of waking up at noon, drinking on Tuesday nights, and coin operated laundry. I'm not overly complicated, just because I have an extensive vocabulary, and I enjoy having discussions about Transcendentalism, the state of nature, the difference between an Epicurean and a Stoic. Is it really that complicated to understand? Fuck I get pissed off at most transcendentalist unless I'm half in the bag.

At any rate the cause for this diatribe about being single and knowing what I want. I met someone at the bar last night. I enjoyed the conversations that I had with her, I enjoyed playing drinking games with her, hell she was even able to pull me out onto the dance floor. Somewhere between the obligatory bumping and grinding that we had to do she put her arms around my neck and our eyes met. Everything around me just kinda faded away as I took in the features and expression of her face, the tactile sensation of my hands upon her hips and her arms around my neck, all the while the moment stretched out and lasted seemingly forever. Then the moment was gone, our song together had ended, and we both went our separate ways. She left with her friends, I with mine. I sent her an email later on that night expressing that I had enjoyed my time with her, and that at some point in the future I would like to see her again. I've yet to hear back from her so I have no idea if/when she will respond, or if she will acquiesce to my request. However I did find out this evening that she has a pretty serious boyfriend from my friend Sean....

A pox on you on thee non relationship status foreheads, A pox on thee.
