pre-Thanksgiving Festivities

Once upon a time, a few months ago in a place called "The Quad" I was minding my own business. Reading a book in the warm September sun, it was possibly one of the best feelings despite my discovery that the main character in the book was a bisexual. A man approaches me and asks about the nearest pay phone and, considering I had only been here for about a month, it is safe to say that I had no clue where it was. He proceeded to ask to borrow my cell phone, which was no problem because it was the weekend and I have free weekend calls. Not long after that we were into a whole conversation and he asked me out. Cute story, yes, except this man was 38 years old! I begrudgingly gave him my phone number because I know rejection is the worst thing ever, and the whole situation was a bit surreal at the time. He called a few days later to ask if I wanted to go to dinner with him, I deleted the call and prayed that I'd never have to see this man ever again. This morning I decided to check if my mom called me, because she is going to take me home for Thanksgiving break in about four hours now. I had a phone message, and discovered that this man had called me. I turned off my phone as quick as possible, but decided to turn it back on after returning from the gym (and that's another story). Thinking it was actually my mother this time, I listen...and again, it's this man.
My friend Nabil used to constantly tell me "guys are a--holes", and I would disagree with this because there are those that are perfect gentlemen. I think if he were here and not in Fairfax on break from JMU, he would repeat this statement and proceed to figure out where to find this guy and make sure he never calls me again. What is this about males that makes it okay for them to be complete idiots? This really puzzles me, not that I tend to be around these types most of the time. I'd much rather associate with guys, or people in general, who have high moral standards and do not take advantage of girls whenever they have the chance. 2 Corinthians 6: 14a and 15a states, "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers...What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?" Imagine two oxen plowing together, one wants to go right and the other is pushing left. Relationships with people who do not share the same religious views are ultimately doomed to fail.
Now, more on my last day before Thanksgiving break. I had to print a project out this morning, so I ended up running to the library, but running to class was horrible because the sky decided to pour out all its wrath. I was either soaked or drenched, whichever you percieve closest to "I took a shower in the rain with all my clothes on"! Thankfully, I got out of class early, so I went to the gym and changed into drier clothes to lift weights. As I leave, I run into Abby, a girl I met from Cru's fall retreat just as a certain someone enters. I wave at him, then start talking about Thanksgiving plans, me getting a 100 on my poli sci test (yea right), etc. As I'm walking back to Action Jackson, I see a girl from church (Kate). Again, more talk about Thanksgiving plans, her mentioning that she's been talking about how she misses talking to me. JMU beauty and sweetheart Jennifer IMed me to say that she hopes I have a great Thanksgiving. Considering the rain is almost over, today has proved quite the bipolar day!
Thoroughly dazed and confused, but completely content,

Last thought: Michael Jackson has a song called "Black and White"...
