Love, Life, and Index Cards

In the spirit of Indexed (one of my favorite blogs–if you don’t read it, you need to RSS it right now), I decided to do this blog posts with index card photos to help elucidate my point.

1) Girls are looking older while I’m getting older.


Jailbait.

The other day, I had a very civil, nice conversation with a very civil, nice woman. We shared a coffee table at my new favorite study spot(1) and had a little bit of small talk about South Africa and surfing. When she got up to leave, she said she had a nice time studying and we should do it again and I informed her I was engaged and not really comfortable tossing my phone number around to random people I meet. She just giggled and said maybe we’d see each other on campus so I asked if she went to one of the local colleges and she said no… actually, she went to Bronx Science. Yes, that’s right–I almost exchanged numbers with a girl that could have been a full decade younger than me. Yes, I do still feel dirty.

2) The “Plus/Minus One” RuleThe "plus/minus one point" rule.

Just don’t break the rule.

3) Sometimes, your genes can be too good.Sometimes, your genes can be too good.

Just be thankful you’re not a 6′ 6” MD/PhD.

4) Self-perception.Believing isn't being.

It’s just definition. If all of you were awesome, then by definition, you’d all be normal.

5) Something here is the same…The only common thing in all your bad relationships is...

If you have a string of bad relationships, well… the only thing in common with them would be you.
