Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson!

This blog might come off as a dedication to my friends, but that's what it is. Listen to this while you read if you want... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnW59E-zyZY



A while back, my friend Kasey and I were at the Fox and the Hound (a local bar in Wilmington, NC where our Meggy works) for karaoke night. I was having a wonderful time imbibing as much tequila as the next guy when my eye candy walks into the bar. Let me correct myself- my unattainable eye candy. Turns out one of my good friends is in love with him (which I am pretty sure I mentioned in detail in the last blog...)



Anyway, I started to get a little bummed out so in my drunken wonderment for karaoke, I told my friend Kasey to turn to a page and I would close my eyes and pick the song that would become my new "theme music". Low and behold, I picked "Mrs. Robinson". What a perfect song, it's very uplifting and happy with a twist of old woman loving young men. How flaming perfect can you get?



Let me explain to you the resemblance this has to my life before you get freaked out that I am some sort of pedophile: I am graduating this year from UNCW which is not a huge similarity, but I intend on being a high school teacher. I also have a tendency to date younger boys (all over 18 so don't worry), keeps things very easy for the most part. I am not looking for marriage, nor am I expecting to settle down any time soon. Thus, my friends down here have a running joke of how I am going to be the next teacher on the news to run off with a high school quarterback. I really hope that this does not happen... actually, I am just going to go ahead and say this will never happen. (Future employers, I can guarantee it won't happen, I swear!)



Continuing, that was an interesting night. It got me thinking about my future. Can I be this way forever? Will I be doomed to a completely boring future (i.e. kids, husband, job, no traveling)? I really hope that I can have some fun in my life before I have to settle down.



There is a Sex and the City quote that has always resonated with my lifestyle. Carrie, known for being hopelessly in love with a man who doesn't treat her well enough, states that some women are just not meant to be tied down. The exact quote is as follows: "Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free til they find someone just as wild to run with them." Where is my soul mate?



Soooo.... keep up boys, this is your guide to what I need. I want someone who can sweep me off my feet, push me down, and start running away backwards so I can catch up and return the favor. I want someone to play with, someone to run with; I want someone to laugh with... I really just want someone to be my best friend and keep me going. Keep me on my toes, "spin me round" if you will, haha. Is there much more to life that being completely intoxicated with your life? It's about having fun; it should be about only living once, and having a blast while doing it.



My final question to you is where is the fun in your life? Kick it up a notch, Mrs. Robinson! Hop into that metaphorical convertible and let the wind blow your hair back! Feel the adrenheline, wake up and smell the effing roses, Batman! (Sorry for this blog, I swear I really am in college, not in elementary school)
