Oh the Humanity

So the other day my friend Linda turns to me and goes, “Why are all the good looking people single? And why are the…regular people in relationships?” I instantly thought of two things a) “You think you’re good looking? That’s good self-esteem” and b) “But I’m good looking! And I’m in a relationship!” I kinda chuckled and just mentioned random variables like timing, luck, and destiny. I never thought of Linda as your regular girl. She’s a guy’s girl. One who doesn’t mind eating a steak in front of her. She has that tinge of Virgo-overachiever. Sometimes I think she spreads herself too thin. There’s a part of me that wishes I could be like everything to everyone too. Then I realize I’d have no time for myself. She often complains of the lack of downtime. Then again I wasn’t part of (at one point or another): A sorority, A radio show, Orientation Leaders, Residence Life, Asians, Asian Modeling, Rugby, sometimes the Outing Club. Well, I guess I value my time for myself.

I’m minorly disappointed that I won’t be able to spend the actual day of Valentines with my Eric. But really, I’m disappointed for any day that I can’t spend with him. It’s only really a Hallmark made day so that they’d make money. For people who love each other, Valentine’s Day should be everyday. Except for days that are already holidays (haha).

I get into good, random conversations with Eric. During break we were discussing the fact that stores have been playing more Motown. He thinks that they are because of the success of Dreamgirls. I told him that I think that it’s still the same amount, and its because he is more keen on pointing out Motown. Instead of say… pointing out every time Linda Rondstat plays at Kohls. Or how Norah Jones is playing nonstop in Barnes & Noble.

Anywho, I’m hearing rumors of a day around Valentine’s group trip to the Olive Garden. Sounds like a nice idea. Alas with my dietary limitations I set on myself, I have two options: Work Out a little more that week or Pick something kinda healthy. Probably choice A. Maybe I’ll have a nice dinner with Eric over the weekend. Maybe I’ll cook Eric dinner. Depends on my budget. Hopefully he isn’t reading this or he will have been spoiled. (If this is you reading this Eric, let’s celebrate. Give me ideas.)

Sorry about the last post being a little short. I kinda gave up on the blog by the numbers.
