Erm...

I had a lot I thought about saying, but I'll just be angsty for a bit.

One would think that in a male-dominated area such as physics the chances would be high of meeting someone you click with. As the saying goes, "the odds are good but the goods are odd." At UCI, however, the odds are not even good. Everyone I'm close with is in a relationship. There are guys that I am kind of interested in, but the physics department is so fucked up that I'm not sure I want to deal with that. I briefly alluded to this earlier, but there is/was/whatever a boy (Main Boy). One of the girls (Acquaintance) said to another girl (Good Friend) that they should set me up with Main Boy. The main players in this story plus others go out one night. Acquaintance pushes me and Main Boy together to dance, but by the end of the night Acquaintance and Main Boy are possibly making out and definitely holding hands on the car ride home. I would like to meet other people, but since I live in my office and do work all the time this seems less than likely. Plus I've only dated physicists and engineers so I don't know what I would do with someone that isn't in my field. The only times I've met people that I've truly cared about/loved romantically have been over the summer in Ojai. I suppose there was also Best Guy Friend, but he wasn't a physicist and that didn't work out so much. Dr. Zook has nine cats now. I don't want to end up like her. Nor do I want to end up like Bridget Jones (I watched Bridget Jones's Diary the other day, which prompted this wallowing).
