Divulgance

So, I'm sitting here, drinking some coffee because I have actual work that I should be doing. Instead, I'm writing another blog entry, hoping that my CSci homework will do itself. But I feel like there is something else that I need to get off of my chest.

I have this friend. I went to high school with this friend. We never talked much then, more or less just small talk. Small talk doesn't really give you great insight into a person. All I really knew about her was what I heard from others (namely Paul and Steven...both are douchey). So my impression of her came to be that she was very attractive, but not all that substantive or intelligent (how much more errant could I have been?). After college had been under way for a while, I decided through Facebook's suggestion that I would restore contact with her.I must've missed the small talk.  In the ensuing correspondence I learned how off-base I had been.

I soon came to realize that this was a person who was not only physically attractive, but also intelligent, caring, and funny. The person had goals, and strove to achieve them. I had been an absolute fool for basing my opinion of this person almost solely on what I had heard from others; others who were not acting in her interest, who didn't respect her. I was ashamed, and still am, for how ignorant and foolish I had been. I only hope that if she reads this, that she forgives me for being such an asshole.

She is one of the most amazing people I know, and I cannot imagine having to continue on without her. There are a lot of people in this world, but few, if any, compare.

Now, for that CSci homework. Goodnight, all.
