'Love is a many splendid thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!'
All you need is love...or so they claim. But really...the lovey dovey relationships are pushed upon us (Morgan and Ashton in particular) like no other here at Indiana Wesleyan University. While we believe that our friends have the best of intentions, they are futile in their endeavors. Don't get us wrong...we anxiously await for our knights in shinning armor, but we're old fashioned & like to believe that he will just find us. (Cheesy we know, but that's what this blog is all about)
We would like to share with you [the world] our so called pathetic love lives. Let the stories begin!
1. The night was Friday. The event was an Ugly Christmas Sweater party. My job (Morgan, that is) was to create and embellish THE prized 'Love Bench'. This is just highly ironic. According to my "loving" friends, I was the worst possible candidate to be constructing this love seat due to my past non-existent romances. Therefore, they enjoyed taking pictures of me below the mistletoe & underneath the love sign...all ALONE. Good one, guys. ;)
2. To further this cause, I (Morgan again) decided to test my luck with the ever popular "Love Match" application found on Facebook. [Facebook makes the world go round]. My roommates' matches had been a success, so I equally excited to discover my 'future mate'. Imagine my surprise in reading the pop-up message which read, "Application ERROR". (I got a total of 11 'likes' on this one).
3. Have you ever been set-up?? Well this girl has!! [Ashton, that is]. Technically, I haven't yet had a successful match making, but there have been many attempts to set me up. However, my friends have continued to mention all these multiple suitors. Case in point: a "date" is apparently in the works for the new semester.
[Picture on right: Ashton dancing alone at Prom]
Please note: we do not say this to sound pathetic. On the contrary, we are quite content with our singleness. (ALL THE SINGLE LADIES...you know you have the song in your head now. HA) Singleness = we do what we want, WHENEVER we want...our time is our own. All this to say, while some of these occurrences can at times be awkward/embarassing, they ultimately provide us with great stories, memorable moments, and of course ADVENTURES.
So, don't fret if you have no one to snuggle up with this winter season, because that is in FACT why they made snuggies. =)
i love this :) and you too. i am glad sarah shared this with the facebook world. :)

1.) I love (no pun intended) your opening paragraph.
ReplyDeleteIn our culture, especially at college, "looove" relationships are pushed on young singles. Movies are especially bad at this. The single characters are always presented as flawed--thus this is why they are not dating someone (for if they were 'normal' they would be dating someone). Why can't someone be single and not be relationally handicapped or desperate?
Also, some people fall prey to the idea, especially girls, that if you can't find someone at college, you are destined for eternal singleness. They believe, also, that college is where all the 'fish' are. No, college is a pond, no doubt, but there are plenty of fish elsewhere in the water of everyday life.
2.) I cannot believe you mentioned snuggies.
3.) My mom got our dog a snuggie for Christmas..
Mel, we love you too!
ReplyDeleteMatt:
1. Yes, we are single & not relationally handicapped! Content with it, too. Good insight.
2. You better believe we mentioned snuggies, #1 gift this past Christmas season.
3. Snuggies for dogs?!?! Wait...what?! Seriously? This is HILARIOUS!
