2007 is almost over. It's kind of depressing that I spent this whole year without any romantic involvement. During any other year there'd be some romantic adventure peppered in there. Love in the year 2007 hasn't been so kind to me.

It almost happened. Many, many times it's almost happened. But none of those wonderful prospects came about.

It all started in early February. By that time, I'd already been out of school for five months, and being removed from this environment fostered in me an urge to speak to a crush of mine. I finally stepped out of my reticence and admitted how I felt about her. The result is as follows.

During the conference in Minneapolis, I met a girl. I knew I made a good impression on her, and with a little coaching from my boss/adopted big sister, I set myself up for something that could've been magic. But what stopped me? Well, she's 16 and from Georgia.

Summer Camp came to our community center, and with it came a whole crop of camp counselors. I spent the whole session chasing and flirting with one counselor who left too soon. As the session wound down, I was informed that another counselor expressed interest in me (another rarity). Taken aback, I contact her and decide to make it happen. Somehow, our communication fizzled out and we haven't spoken to each other.

I guess I'm okay with it. After all, it's been a crazy year as it is. But it would be nice to have some kind of companionship, don't you think?

So, uh... anyone interested?
