the quest to become mysterious.

Upon watching the Bachelor (yes, I know, embarrassing), a roommate and I experienced a moment of epiphany. We discovered a new truth. A new truth that, if sought after and obtained, will bring meritorious results.

My roommate, we'll call her Lassie (haha), and I were cogitating (a synonym for "pondering", of course) upon the show and that led us to cogitate upon some people in our social circles and then, finally to cogitate upon our own lives. Have we done enough cogitating yet?

Two of the truths we discovered are these:
-Girls like guys who are mysterious.
-Guys like girls who are mysterious.

Ok, back to my story....

And finally, the most sobering and blatantly obvious truth of all:
 -We are nooooottt too mysterious.

Its true. I tell everyone everything. Like, ev. ree. thing. If you don't already know that then you've probably never met me. Hey thanks for reading the blog! You're now about to get to know me a wholeeee lot better.

I mean, remember how I like to make people feel awkward? Remember how I've been known to talk about such things as pinball machines, my whole life story, and my that one time my grandmother sang karaoke on New Year's Eve with random strangers? Yeah. So not mysterious. 

So.... Lassie and I decided it was time for a social experiment. We thought to ourselves, who are the most mysterious people we know?! 

Why, they're hipsters! Of course! 

I can't figure them out? Can you?

So we proceeded to dress up like hipsters and live a mysterious life for a night. 

Lets just say, I did not succeed. I thought I was doing soooo good. 

Then Lassie caught this on film: Doing the splits. I've still got it!

The proof is in the pudding, mis amigos. 

I'm just not mysterious.

I'm the problem.

I have a problem.

It's a new problem, not one I've always had.

My problem is this: I'm socially exhausted. I just don't feel like dealing with dating or anything of that sort because it is just kinda dramatic and tiring ya know? Like, I realize that it should be fun and that it is necessary for exaltation, but sometimes I'm just not sure if it's worth the energy.

That's a terrible attitude, right?

So what's my latest and greatest solution that has just kinda been happening? The friend zone.

I just friend zone em all. I did it consciously at first but now it just kinda happens.

How do I friend zone em you may ask? I have my ways. Generally, I ask them about other girls they could like. I ask them about dates they've been on. I even tell them I'll set them up with other girls. Haha. It's just easier that way. Right?

Then I end up in this slightly awkward position.

It's great fun, really.


Do you ever do the same thing? Or am I just strange?

Depending on your answers those could have been rhetorical questions.

The end.
