| October 31, 2009 -- A fateful, semi-chilly night that marked my first year of no Halloween trick-o-treating. Facebook events were peppered with "Halloween Party!!!" for college students looking for entertainment that they would not remember. No candy or alcohol for me. Instead, I took to free Chipotle with chips and soda. No hangover, but I definitely still got a junk food hangover from the weekend.  Just wanted to make this post to say: I'm a big kid now!

| WELL, it's been awhile! Hello online journal .. hello to the only artifacts of my memory (due to my unfocused and unreliable noggin). I got off work pretty late today, although I had a pretty good conversation with a friend. About .. LOVE. That's right -- two immature, inexperienced 20-year-old female college students discussing love. And what's our future got to do with it? Got to do, got to do with it .. what's loveee? It should be about us, it should be about trust. ....Right?
At this point in my life (and I'm only 20), I'm leaning more towards a practical s.o. What I mean is .. I see a lot of "passionate" couples on a perpetual roller coaster ride, and I'm not down for that. I'm not going to lie -- my almost-3-year relationship is boring at times, but I definitely don't go through the stress I see others go through. For that, I am grateful. But one of my friends tends to believe that we're not right for each other because we lack that 'passion.' But he's good company (most of the time), has good morals, and most importantly -- is good to me. In one of my classes, I learned that the 'honeymoon' stage only lasts about 2 years. Something about releasing chemical matters similar to that of some happy drug. So scientifically speaking, our human brains aren't wired to be perpetually passionate. However some would argue that matters of love cannot be defined through experiments, but experience. But after so long, the experience tends to stop being.. well, new. And then .. what? I suppose this is why divorce lawyers are recession proof.
