How do you say… irrelevance?

Quite easily actually

I hate sleeping with a passion and I haven’t written anything for awhile, so I might as well use this time to do so.

Yesterday afternoon, one of my friends pointed out a girl and a boy she knows talking together. What I found very interesting is that these two met the day before in the library after one of them happened to sit at a computer next to the other. It seems apparent they really hit it off.

Now, the question I pose is, does this sort of thing happen often in university? Is it really a giant target for cupids bow? For experimental sake, I am meaning to randomly approach a girl I do not know, and talk to her for 5 minutes. I have no intention of seeking a relationship however. Merely, I am discovering how difficult it is to talk to someone I’ve never met. It is likely I won’t actually carry this out, as I am like a frightened gazelle fleeing from a cheetah and lack the confidence in reference to making a complete and utter fool out of myself. Then again, I do that quite often, and don’t give a damn.

 As unorthodox as I believe myself to be, I don’t think anyone will run to the hills or suck themselves into a high-gravity singularity if I approach them and begin to talk. Generally, people can be quite nice, so I am hoping this generalisation (as large as it may be) will prove to swing in my favour.

It would be more interesting if people reading this did the same. Pucker up and go talk to someone you do not know.
