Selections from my personal journal during college.
Well, I just got back from my date with Kelly. I am already dreaming of a two-story country home with a sunken den and our two little boys playing out in the yard. Seriously, in case you hadn't guessed - I had a good time. She's really nice and downright beautiful. When I walked her to the door, she asked if I was going to call again... I pretended to think about it for a bit... but then said emphatically "definitely." I am looking forward to seeing her again.
Next week I have two dates... one with Anne (cycling) and one with Margie (church girl) but right now I am thinking about Kelly. I am going to read a bit and go to bed. Later.
There are a couple interesting things going on in this post. First, I was apparently smitten with Kelly. She was blonde, athletic, and very nice. She appreciated the humor and enjoy doing things. Obviously, it didn't work out because I am not with her now... but she was cool. The other interesting factor is the bit about a "country home..." It reads like it might have been a real vision of the future, but the word "seriously" implies that it was all a parody.
The breakup with Kelly was really one of those non-events. I had a lot of those in my day... times where my interest in a girl waned because I was attracted to the current shiny object. I had a real bad habit of just not calling much. As the gaps between phone calls increased, there was really nothing to break off. At that point in my life it was really more about the challenge than emotion. Apparently, it still is.
And before you decide I was/am a total cad, let me say that there were never any false representations made... lies or deceit of any kind were never used. As Sawyer (from Lost) would say... "I'm a real complicated guy." (read that tongue-in-cheek, as I thought that was the corniest line I have ever heard in a TV show.)
