This is the last weekend of my first year here at Taylor.
Craaaaaazy.
It's funny how easy my allegiances in friendships change. It seems like it was only yesterday when I got ribbed almost daily for sitting with Ali, Audra and Luke too much by my floor, but now I hardly see them anymore. I've starting growing closer to all these Foundation guys, and I realize I should have focused on developing relationships here.
Here's something amusing: I was (infatuated isn't quite the term, but it'll do) with Audra for at least 3 months, and now at the same time that she and her boyfriend broke up, I moved on. I think when Sherif asked if I was "still having girl problems" he was right, but in a different way. I'm not so self-absorbed that I believe I could have any girl that I went after, but for me, the girl problems aren't usually the girl's fault. I think some of it has to do with a complex which causes me to long for what I can't have. I'm not exactly sure what the rest of it has to do with.
Now that I've befriended alot of girls on campus, here are the qualifications for a girl, (and don't worry, I'm not planning on doing any dating for at least another 6 months):
*Although I know this probably gets rid of 50% of Taylor's female population, but I want to find a girl who is not boy crazy...I've seen girls who have so many male "friends" it's not even funny.
*I guess sort of in the same vein, she can't be too concerned with her looks or is disgustingly vain. So, goodbye all you girls who enjoy fake tans. Goodbye to all you girls who drown their faces with makeup. Obviously I'd like to find a girl who likes to look good, but knows how to go about it the right way. Oh, and no slutty clothing.
*She needs to be a good cook (or at least willing to learn). Besides, I want someone who can make me fresh Kringla...mmmmmmm.
*She needs to find me to be (even a little bit) funny. Otherwise, *all this wit and charm* haha would be wasted.
*Last, and most important, I need to be able to have conversations that go beyond the surface. I've known enough girls who are only about the fun that I really appreciate the ones that I can talk to about anything I might be thinking. Spiritual stuff, academic stuff...being smart goes a long way.
Well there you go. Do you really care about what a girl needs to picque my interests? Probably not, but then again, this is MY journal. *laughs*
In other news, another mediocre semester as far as academics!! YAY! I'm happy as long as they keep feeding me $$$. I'm gonna get $ to sing next year! luckyme. Dr. Rediger sure does love a fellow Minnesotan.
I'd be interested in seeing what everybody else's girl/guy checklist looks like too. So whatchya got?
