Today's instructions say to gaze at everyone wondering if they may be your one true love meant for only you and think about the possibility that you might be passing them by forever.
Since I'm a daydreamer, I ended up picking boys from my classes and imagining how my life would be like when we were in love and married.
I'll go through the ones I thought about in my most boring class, Calculus.
Ethan* and I don't get married. We live in an apartment and I'm working some shitty job, like as a waitress or something, and he's really smart, like computer smart, but he doesnt apply himself. He tends to play video games at home and read all the time. I love reading, and this was initially attractive, but now I'm getting frustrated. However, he is a very sweet guy and I couldnt be more in love with him. He's like a kid but I dont mind working all day just so we can be together.
Kevin and I are married. He's not so attractive, but he's very loveable. We're in our forties and he's retired and we get to travel in an rv like old retired people do. Life isnt passionate, it's just comfortable, but I'm happy. I’m kind of plump but so is he so it’s not a big deal. We watch tv together and are content to just hold hands every once and a while.
Oliver and I are lovers. I am unhappily married to a skinny business man and I tried the whole business wife thing but it got boring. That is, until I saw Oliver goofing off with some of his guy friends and decided to be brave and go talk to him. We are meant for each other, but I enjoy the stability of my current husband so I am having an affair with Oliver. We mainly meet up in his apartment. There is an age difference (he’s younger) but he’s mature and I enjoy his spontaneity. We’d probably end it mutually, knowing that we’ll never be happy without each other but also know that it’s impossible for us to be together.
Quintin and I are the typical country club couple. He’s a bit older, but not much. I’m pretty hot for a thirty year old woman. We have two kids but we live like it’s still just the two of us. We host parties and dinners frequently. He golfs and I play tennis and I pretend not to notice when he looks at other women because I love him and I know he would never cheat on me. And he really wouldn’t.
Ulric and I ended up talking at a party where we both felt kind of out of place. We both definitely felt a connection but nothing really happened for a while. We started talking online and eventually go out on a date. As it turns out, we have a lot in common and we begin to fall in love. It is the very sweet kind of first love and we are young and it is wonderful. Our families are thrilled to hear that we’re engaged. We have the wedding of my dreams and it is all very nice.
Keagan and I met at a bible study. We got into a bit of an argument about something but after class he approached me and asked if we could go out and discuss it a little more. I fell in love with him He was very devoted and it was to argue with him. He even let me win sometimes. We were in our late twenties and he was training to become a pastor. Keagan was more religious than I am, but I loved him too much to tell him that. I just went along with it. We are married and I became the pastor’s wife, you know, the one that is so nice to everyone and bakes things all the time. We have four kids that we’re raising in a loving but God-fearing household. I don’t mind faking my Christianity if it means being with him.
Yep, so today was pretty fun. It definitely killed some of the boredom. The funny thing is that I cant see myself dating any of these guys, but now I’m wondering if maybe…. No, never mind.
*As you may have guessed, names have been changed*

I really liked yours. You went SO in depth, which I think is really cool. I just think it's so cool how we interpret the tasks different ways, it will make our blogging experience (and experience of the task) a lot more interesting. Like, I didn't even begin to think of what my life would be like with the people I was looking at, but I instead chose to think of them as my possible "one and only" and the fact that I was just passing them up at that moment, probably forever. It was kinda depressing and sad...especially with the yellow t-shirt boy. Really, what if he really is supposed to be the one? That was my chance. I guess that was what the task was supposed to be doing to me. Ugh, sorry, I'm totally talking about my post.
My favorite scenario of yours is the Kevin one, just because it's really cute, but my real favorite is the Ulric one because that's the sweetest and like...love that I wish would happen to me. (Where the crap did you come up with the name Ulric??) I would probably not be friends with you anymore if you ended up with Quentin because I strongly dislikes those "types" (I know that's mean...but...really, country club couple? Ugh) The Keagan one makes me mad because you would be living a lie, the Oliver one makes me sad (did you know that my favorite name for a boy is Oliver and if I had a baby right now and he happened to be a boy I would name him that and call him Ollie for short?) because...it's just depressing. And the Ethan one...is eh. It could be good if there was a happy ending because he has potential to be a good guy, but it sounds like a frustrating and futile life to me. Go with Ulric. :)
I wanna know who these guys are.
well. i will tell you the secret to my naming madness through email. because if we ever do get any traffic on here, especially people that know who the people I talked about are, it could be embarrassing. so anyways! expect that email in a minute. i am glad you liked my post though because I thought it was inadequate and childish next to yours. like yours actually meant something to you..
