Red, White and Blues

I know I'm late with this post, but things have been pretty hectic as of late.

I had more fun at Red, White, and Blues than any other dance event I've been to previously. It was downright awesome. I met some amazing people, I had amazing dances, and most of all I actually had fun dancing again no matter who I was dancing with. Learning the monkey dance as a warm-up routine sure helped get me in the right mindset as well. I also got to meet Amanda who is a great dancer, and an all-around awesome person. We must've danced half our dances together. That's even after I learned she had a boyfriend.

Yay Amanda.

Karma

So last Monday I was standing in line at DHL, and the woman in front of me had forgotten that they didn't take credit. Unfortunately she only had 4 dollars, and she needed 7. So I cracked out my wallet and hooked her up. We got to talking, and discovered she had interviewed for my department.

Today get an e-mail saying that the secretary has an envelope for me. Upon opening it, I find 3 dollars, and a note saying thanks for the help. It put a big smile on my face.

The scarf

While eating at Pho Huang for lunch today, I saw a girl with this amazing scarf on. Since I'm not used to people down here even knowing what scarves are I was quite impressed. It was really nice to see one. It's been a long time since I've seen a truly awesome scarf. Scarves are just one of those little things that I miss from back home. So after 30 minutes of hesitation, I went over there, complimented her on her scarf, and let her know how much I appreciated the small piece of home she was wearing around her neck. That is all. No number. I didn't even ask for her name. Just a random compliment. She brightened up my day, and I hope I did the same for her.

This whole thing got me to thinking, she was exactly the kind of girl I need to find. I need someone who intimidates me. Someone who gives me butterflies. Someone I'm going to have to work for. If things don't go well at first I have a tendancy to just give up. I need to pursue. I suck at pursuit. I'm afraid to fight for a girl. Why is that? Maybe I'm just afraid of the failure? Maybe I'm afraid I'll actually get the girl just in time to learn that she really isn't the girl for me?

Someone that can keep my attention. Someone that can kick my ass at foosball. Someone who has as much brains as beauty (I don't typically have a problem with this one). Someone who makes my heart skip every time I see her. Someone who is happy (been down that road before). Someone who can relate with me spiritually. Someone that makes me wonder if I'm really worthy. I've compromised way too much in the past. I know myself, and I know what I need. I know what God has wired me to desire. Now if he would just introduce me to her I'd be all set. Hopefully I'll actually fight for her next time.
