Hrm, it always seems to start out the same... I know exactly what i want to say, but never can find the right words to say them. I met the most wonderful girl last night at South Cafe. She was a sociology major out with i suppose her mother, and another individual, Aunt maybe? I was sitting there finishing up Ritzer's "Macdonaldization of Society" when her mother grabbed my attention with, "So, you are a sociology major eh?"

I look up from my book and turn towards her. In slight serendipitous amazement. I reply: "Yes, i am, sociology and philosophy." I forget how the rest of the conversation went. However, he daughter got in on the conversation... which is how i found out about her being a sociology major too. I told her about my switch from computers to sociology and she immediately pointed out that i would make more money being a computer person.

At which point, i told her, "yes that would be true, however, would i be happy working in a system whose goals, are not inline with my ideals." To this she has not reply. But was impressed rather. She looked over to her mother and nodded at eachother... as if in approval at our having this conversation. I couldnt help thinking where this 'slight' almost 'inconsequential' discussion would have gone, should my situation have been different. But i suppose i should know by now not to work on the would-a could-a should-a's. But i could not help to think, that this girl was sooo sweet and intelligent, and worst of all attractive, by comparison... for it is the only way i can really tell... by comparision...

BY COMPARISON!!! HAHAHA, that's like Data, from Star Treck... he cannot tell if something taste's good... he can only tell but compariing what it has (level of chemicals... it's properties) with others which have particular properties and have been rated as tasting good. But I digress...

ha! Javaman has said it before, and many others... how i would have a wonderful girlfriend in a heartbeat, if it werent for the fact that i was gay. Bah, oh well. I am sure that one day i'll find that someone.
