Behind Infinity

“you didn’t fart until after we got married. you manly traitor.”

Sometimes I wonder.
Does the frequency and constancy with which I am seen associating with certain persons of the opposite sex while I’m on campus cause other people (classmates, professors, bystanders, the like) to form erroneous assumptions about the nature of our relationship?

For example, the time Corrie calmly said that Devin and I were engaged. I still laugh at that one. Now, Corrie doesn’t strike me as the best judge of interpersonal dynamics. However when we were on the bus trip to Toledo, Jacob(who’s pretty sharp) assumed that Aaron and I were going out.

Though I’m inclined to fear otherwise, I certainly hope these two encounters aren’t indicative of what the general public thinks. The guys I hang around with have nothing but the best of intentions towards and behavior around me, and I entertain nothing but a sort of little-sisterly affection for them. That is to say, they fascinate, encourage, and inspire me. (The fact that they are taller than I am is merely a bonus, NOT a defining point.) For anyone to think our consorting with one another is based upon anything else would be erroneous…and possibly unjust.
And I suppose, in the long run, the nature of our relationship is nobody’s business but our own.

This is me, procrastinating my homework, signing off…

now.
