i have had this happen...several times in fact. however, the story i am about to tell is a tale of much more woe.

there is a thing called roomate roulette that happens at bethel. (i'm sure it happens at other colleges too) basically, the floor you are on plans an event to go to, and your roomate asks some person of the opposite sex for you to go with. so then everyone has their dates and goes to a movie or something as a floor and their respective "dates". most of the time it has nothing to do with romantic feelings, and your roomate will pick a person they know you are good friends with. alright, now for the story part. one night i am sitting in my room at about the time it was for dinner. i decided i wanted to go eat. so i went out into the hallway to see if anyone wanted to go. no one was there. it turns out that the girls side of our dorm was having their roomate roulette that night, and since it was at the beginnging of the year, the only guys they really knew were from our floor. (we had done a few bonding things together) i was one of the few guys that had not been asked. as soon as i realized this, i went to dinner and ate by myself. a sad night indeed. the same thing happended during second semester last year, but i wasn't the only guy that didn't go then because the girls knew more people then, so it wasn't as bad. anyway, that's my sad story. i wouldn't wish it to happen to anyone. *sigh*

Steve,

We can both relate to each other so if you ever need to vent or a shoulder to cry on, think of me. We could start a support group if you'd like, though I don't know if this will be a recurring event...

Mike.

Oh, and my Sci-Fi class totally rules.

Mike I'm sorry I didn't ask you if you wanted to go to dinner, you see I have "cool" friends now and I didn't want them to meet you... you understand right?
