Subjects: #S1

Dating has never really worked out for me. It's never felt natural or really needed (unless I trick myself). As I started the 52 weeks of dating (that failed), I also started up the subject game. The first time I had tried the subject game was Spring 2010 with Subject One (#S1). My workout partner slightly looked like Josh Groban, but I thought my partner was much more attractive. I didn't feel very comfortable asking if I could get to know him, him being a Senior and oh so cool. So in my dorm room I stuck up a large piece of butcher paper and created a chart. This chart included sections for the date and time we interacted, what headband he was wearing, outfit clinging to his sweat laden body, if we conversed, and if he smiled at me. By the end of the semester, I had created a technicolor chart that mapped out my interactions with this cute guy. I became closer to the guy who had no idea that I was obsessively documenting our precious elliptical machine time. Too bad I have a hard time remembering his real name, but he will always be my first try at the subject game.
