(unofficial) Weekend Singles Thread

[Kate of Spice Island]

It is supposed to get to about 80 degrees.

We were entertaining the idea of going to the air show, but I am not too sure. It is rather late in the day and there is an AFB about 2 hours away with the show scheduled for next weekend...

They're saying strong and possibly severe t-storms tonight. Clear and 78 tomorrow.

Unusually warm for March in Wisconsin...

[Kate of Spice Island]

We had rain and cold earlier this week.

Phoenix can be pretty unpredictable.

I stand corrected over the air show. Doggone, I got it backwards from when I checked a while back.

Guess we either have to get hopping today or get travelling some weekend later in the year.

Ay caramba...

Looks like today will be dedicated to spring cleaning and we will just catch an air show whenever.

I know that cleaning out and organizing the "office" is a top priority.

1. Recently broke up with a lovely Indian lass. The reason being that she was traveling all the time, and I had little chance to see her.

2. I am about to break the ice with a lovely neighbor from Ecuador, so I guess you can say I am returning to my Latina fetish (which I have had since the age of 6).

3. My parents continue to pressure me to get married and have children. I look , however, at my collegues and think: "is this the type of life I really want?"

Their entire lives revolve around their children, they are limited (by income and school district) as to where they can live, and they never "hit the town" or travel, except to Orlando for Disney.

I guess it goes back to the fact that in high school and college, I was extremely shy, never dated, and never partied. Now, I have a good income, and (usually) free weekends, and I am finally enjoying myself.

I still have a fear of being a lonely old man, which is a selfish reason for having children or a permanent spouse. Is there anyone else out there in a similar situation?

OK, now on to college:

1. My first year I lived in a "residential college" called Queens Court (aka "Queers Court"). Which I enjoyed due to the incredible study lounge and its connection to history (Edgar Allen Poe used to visit the Jesuits who lived there at the time). We had a deli in the building, where kids from the local prep school would hang out and smoke cigarettes, making alot of noise. In response, we would dump soda and water on them and throw all sorts of (biodegradable) debris until we got them out.

2. My roomate my sophomore year was a mentally disturbed kid from Massachusetts who used to sleepwalk and blast the Fugees. When I knew him, he was only hitting the bong. The next year, he ran away to France and became hooked on Heroin.

3. Grad school was more pleasent. The worst thing that happened at U of Chicago was some cretin kept stealing my Wall Street Journal.

It's TIME again!!

[pcottraux]

Hey, man. What's the latest with you?

[Rca2000]

Not too much.

I have been on 3 dates so far..but i do NOT think anything is going to come of things, other than a "nice, Christian friendship"--and that is FINE WITH ME!!

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

1. It happens to the best of us.

2. Good...

3. Know the feeling, I'm already feeling the heat from family (and I'm only 21)...

"I guess it goes back to the fact that in high school and college, I was extremely shy, never dated, and never partied."

Ditto.

1. Had a kid freshman year who tried to jury-rig a BMW motor to his Schwinn bike. Now, he was NOT mechanically inclined; heck, he resembled an Abercrombie model and had the IQ of mayonnaise. Left his bike in the shower over Thanksgiving, where the U-cops found it. Everybody read about the incident in the Police Beat and knew it was this guy.

2. Don't live on campus, but given the fact I'm on a large campus, it's safe to say we've got them here too. Oh, and also about the violence near the campus. (Armed robbery, mainly, but last October, a student who worked as a delivery guy for one of the sandwich shops nearby was shot and killed while on a delivery.)

3. Still undergrad, so can't relate...

[rzeznikj at stout]

good to hear, dudes...

Hi RCA. Long time no see. How are you doing?

[Rca2000]

Not too bad, I reckon.

I have already spoken about my LAST college experience here before. That it something that I long to forget.

My first time around in college, in 1987, was a little better, but I was still not a popular student there, either with the kids or the faculty, for the most part.

However--there was a few people who respected me and such. No long-term friendships resulted from it, though.
