So two of my favorite people at Medill have finally managed to hook up. It all happened in a very interesting way in that when I found out about it I was kind of annoyed out of my mind about some other things, so wasn't able to properly be excited for them. Incidentally, that really must be one of the most horrible things to do to someone--to not be properly excited for two people who are bursting to tell you some good news. But that's neither here nor there, since everything is settled and well again.
It's very interesting to see them together now, and hear one talk about the other, b/c just a few weeks before we were all just good friends. And now we're all couples! It's kind of weird, actually.
A lot of times I don't consciously think of myself as being part of a couple, maybe because most of the people around me are single. But now, it's almost as though their couple-ness (compounded by the fact that it's new and exciting and they're still really into each other and the newness of everything) reminds me that, oh yeah, I guess I'm also part of a couple. In some small way, the newness of their relationship is rubbing off on me and how I feel about Tyler (yes, total ick moment, I know, and I'm sorry), so I thought I'd let it all out with these song lyrics:
My baby has a one track-mind
with Sunday football games
he knows every player by name
My baby has a one-track mind
and he's so fine (yes, he's so fine)
(loosely adapted from a Mayer Hawthorne song, which was actually about a girl who loves shopping for expensive things)
And we will end on a non-sappy note, with a quote from Mr. Blue:
[after witnessing complicated weekend drama]
"This is why women can't be in charge of the world. If someone goes and forgets to send a Thank You note, that'll be the start of World War III."
