Excuse The Brevity....
Perhaps it's because Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, but lately I've been surrounded by love-hungry people discussing dating and the like. Yesterday afternoon I found myself, for the second day in a row, sitting in Mochas and Javas. The only differences were the company and the conversations that were going on (though I cannot admit to participating very much). Jessie and my newest aquaintance, Dawn, were talking about a certain mutual crush in ear shot, not only of me, but an older lady and a college boy Jessie had met on her trip to Mexico this weekend. As I sat, attempting to concentrate on my communication studies, I found myself interpreting the thoughts of the other two people not participating in this riveting dialog. Why is it that college seems to be another agonizing four (plus) years that simulate junior high and high school? Despite our desire to develop more meaningful relationships, we tend to continue our juvenile 'crush' mindset; granted, some people are immune to such tragedy. Anyhow, on to learn more about communication for three hours...excitement at it's peak!

Yea it's tough. We have emotions that are a bar to intellect and that throw away reason. I wish we would try and develop relationships, i mean friendships first and foremost, and then let that blossom into whatever it may be. But it's hard to do that with people we are attracted to. It's not a choice
Oh gosh Anna, is my face ever red. Forgive my gushing, I knew it was annoying, but I didn't realize their was such an abundance of people doing the same thing. Yes, it does seem pretty childish, but it's a great feeling to know that in a serious cold world, even the most uptight individuals get weak in the knees and giddy sometimes, no?
P.S. Valentine's really is awful. I can't believe it's impact.
