Life as I Know It

I highly recommend this album for all you jazz lovers out there. I purchased it as a part of my little two CD jazz spree, that hopefully launched my future in-depth jazz collection. It's some awesome stuff. Hmm, ran into a small bout of personal reflection about my friendships from high school again tonight. Not that it happens a lot or anything, but when it happens, it happens. I was sort of looking around facebook at my friend's profiles, and what was going on with their lives. And I got to thinking, "Holy crap, my life is on a completely different plane than that of my closest friends." In keeping with my recent fascination with lists (see below), here are the reasons I have isolated.

1- My best friends are getting married, and thus, are in completely different emotional states
2- My friends all seem to be gravitating towards the sciences, which are a far cry from my decidedly humanities based interests (i.e. music, history, etc, etc, etc)
3- I just seem.... different, in terms of so many things
4- I'm geographically isolated

There are probably more. I don't know, I'm not saying that I've grown apart, I just think there is a potential for some severe misunderstandings and misinterpretations this summer. I hope not, but I know I am the odd man out. Still can't seem to get my mind off the mysterious girl that is going to Nottingham. I spotted her tonight, in the caf, eating something, as I was putting my tray away and departing. As far as I can tell, there are about 3 outcomes for this strange set of emotions.

1- It's like something out of "When Harry Met Sally," and I am instantly attracted to her because she is my soulmate, even though neither of us know each other.
2- The usual bit with me and women - disasterous attempts to befriend and woo, ultimately ending in failure.
3- It's just curiousity of the unknown, and nothing happens. Possibly become friends, possibly not.

Any option besides 2 would be wonderful.
