Well, no book review today. I have a much different topic in mind. Love. Why is it just so darn complicated? I have never been one to be fawned over, or even considered appealing to the opposite gender, for whatever reason. But now for some unknown purpose, I am being subject to the attention of two guys. It is so mystifying to me, when no one has ever given me me more than a few flirtatious moments out of their day. Who could possibly like me? The tall, awkwardly proportioned, girl who doesn't know who or what she wants to be. It's not even the current revelation that amazes me. It is ever since the summer, when I had a brief "fling" with some guy I met at 6 Flags. If you can even call it that. I met him in the lazy river and he asked me to join his "blood clot," which basically meant he just wanted me to link tubes with his group of friends, and then we spent the day flirting after he ditched his friends. Since then male attention on my part has been what some would consider mediocre, but I would consider abundant. My only concern is this- I still haven't had my first kiss, and I am fast approaching 16. This is just slightly depressing, because I know that I wouldn't have this problem if I wasn't so afraid of being with someone, or being something more than just solitary. But now while my heart belongs to one person (similar to love at first sight, but it's really more of an infatuation), another boy likes me. I think that while I can be happy with the hot Latin American (Jacob**), I can't truly get over the smoldering Arab (Edward**). The fact is though, this little love triangle seems to be all anyone can talk about. In fact, it seems like my previously non-existent love life is so fascinating that people are choosing teams (think Team Edward and Team Jacob). So why is it so fascinating? Is it the fact that they are such good friends, yet seem to be waging a test.oster.one contest over the rights to be near me? I hang out with them both enough, but for now let's just say that I have bottled up my feelings for for 'Edward' so that I can give my homecoming date a chance ('Jacob').
