It took me a while to think up of something to write up for my sister's blog. I mean, whenever I read my sister's blog it usually is very insightful, well written, to the point. Whereas mine tangent off into space. So I had to think of a topic that was bugging me and was also of "Michelle" caliber. So I thought of the round table discussions of Angela, Jin, Althea, and Myself. There are many topics that I could mention... the people that wear thick jackets during the summer, white people having "sh!tlock" hair, "Mr. Cedric", the guy whose shirts are too loud for his shirt. But I decided to go for funny, something not so Michelle caliber. I pre-ask for forgiveness for this unnecessary story... Well here's the story anyway:

True Love? Eww...

Last semester during one round table dinner. Angela and I spotted this couple. A short (about 5'4) Asian girl and this tall (about 6'5) white guy on one of the "lower" tables. And he was all up on her. In the dining hall. Or as my sister calls it "mess" hall. We turned Jin's head and she caught it. The guy was relentlessly kissing the girl's hand as she was just reading a book. The next time Althea managed to eat with us, our favorite viewing couple was there, shenanigans still going strong, The guy was playing with her hair this time as she seemingly continued eating as if he wasn't there. We saw them in and out last semester, but we had our first sighting this weekend...actually on Jin's birthday. Good birthday present right? By now the guy had a bad slouch, an almost humpback sorta look from bending over to this girl. He sorta reminded Angela of an ostrich as he twisted his neck to the girl's cheek. This time we spotted him kissing her (un-passionately of course) and he was watching her eat. Angela and I went to the ice cream section to get some ice cream and the couple passed us by, the guy going "I don't think you should have ice cream." We realized he was following the girl to the pizza station and back. He didn't grab any food, he was just following her. This guy was whipped we all agreed, even Ivy, Jin's Chinese friend who was sitting with us yesterday, was a little caught aback by the antics. We decided to get going before they started having sex on the table. But of course right as we got up, they got up and we all sorta went down stairs to the exit at the same time. To continue the eww factor, Althea and Angela had to print out something at the computer lab and we went inside. Lo and behold, our favorite lunchtime entertainment was there too, this time the guy watching the girl's monitor and kissing her some more as she just worked on. We had to leave then or else it woulda gotten worse. We took a bet on when they would break up. Though everyone said later on, I thought right before Valentines Day. Althea thinks that that guy has FTD speed dialed on his phone so that it would be one of those days that you could get seventy thousand flowers every hour for twenty four hours on Valentines Day.

There are different things that were wrong with this scenario that Angela, Jin, Althea, and I noted. 1) The events were happening in a very unromantic place, the dining hall. The place where people eat, maybe meet friends, and try to finish homework. 2) The guy was all up on her. He was watching her eat. He was kissing her while she ate. He was kissing her as she twiddled her finger around her hair. He would turn her head and kiss her on the mouth as they were eating. Jeez, you'd think that he'd give her some space. I mean love doesn't mean that you should be joined at the hip. 3) They are like this outside of the dining hall. We thought first maybe this was the only time that boy could see girl, but Althea saw them numerous times at the Library and one time she was walking to her bank and she saw them, pretty much soddered together, walking to the bank. She just wanted to walk right through the couple to break them up. 4) This girl doesn't really respond to this guy's motions. I mean the relationship is really one sided. We could imagine the guy making out with a mannequin sitting in the dining hall and it would be the same.

This story is true and we are all not crazy, if anyone would want to meet me in the dining hall at the times we eat (during the weekends this semester) you can witness it yourself. It is funny, and it creates lunch conversation so I should thank them for that....well except for the times that one of us almost choked when we didn't believe the antics that they were making. And if you're saying something like we're hypocrites, I will admit I was in and out (and in again) of (for a lack of words) love this college year and I wasn't like that in public, Althea has Steve, and he's visited last semester and I can attest that they aren't like that. Maybe we like privacy.
