An Interesting Social Phenomenon
First of all, I'd like to respond to Regina George's comment on my last post. The Roni hates it when people steal her catchphrases, and The Roni would like the record to reflect that it was SHE who coined the phrase "crush celibate" earlier this month. FURTHER, if The Roni can get past her bitter cynicism and frustration with men and relationships to a place where love abounds and there's a rainbow behind every cloud, then surely Regina George can see that too? RG, you have to look up, otherwise everything will just look down. Get on The Roni bandwagon (not literally)and realize that optimism really is the best policy. No one wants to hit it with a cynic. Trust The Roni on this one.
Second of all, there is an interesting phenomenon I would like to address. Today at TGLSOAT The Roni noticed a, well, noticeable amount of Hallway Avoiding going on. The Roni must admit she was participating in said hallway avoidance. But she was DEFINITELY once avoid-ED herself and once was complicit in a plot to avoid. I was just amazed at the amount of alternate-route-selecting-so-as-to-avoid-crossing-paths-with-someone that was going on. I mean sure, sometimes you're just not emotionally prepared to run into someone, and sometimes you forgot to put mascara on, or your jeans might as well be painted on to your enormous ass, or your hair looks like you've been taking pointers from Don King. Sure, we've all been there. But sometimes you just have to grab yourself by the balls and walk down that hallway. You see The Roni coming towards you, she's scary looking, she strikes fear in the hearts of men, but just give yourself a slap in the face and remind yourself that there are dozens of witnesses in WB in case she should bring about your untimely demise, and besides, there's nowhere to stash a body in TGLSOAT.
What I'm saying to you is this, buck up camper. You see me coming, you don't have to say hi, you don't have to stop, but for pete's sake, don't swerve the other way right in front of me. I see it and it makes me want to bitch slap you. You know who I'm talking about.
The lesson of all these things, friends, is to put on our big girl panties. Sure, we may wish we could emulate praying mantises (manti?) and bite the heads off of men after we mate with them. (Let's not even talk about the times we just wish we could mate with them in the first place...) We may want to run into Secured Transactions instead of being forced to cross paths with some hideous beast (say, The Roni). But people, we are adults! We can't join the Crush Franciscans just to avoid men! We can't pretend like we forgot our pocket protector and turn around and run the other way! This crap is right there in front of us. Pull those superman panties up and deal with it. Oh, and don't forget about sunshine and roses. And puppies and candy. Get on the optimism train!

I hope the roni is more like me and takes specific paths in an attempt to see someone not avoid them...i'm not saying i don't avoid people or pretend to be on the phone so i don't have to say hi or even may have worn head phones around school even without music playing just to pretend they can't hear people...but lets focus on the positive here. Lets focus on getting a drink when you're not thirsty to see someone, or checking your mail when you know you don't have any just to look around scott commons. It's time to take an extra lap around the law school everyone, you just might find someone new to like.
