I think I have a bit too much emotion invested in local rivalries...

My friend wants to set me up with her friends brother (one of those setups). She assures me he is normal so what do I do ? I do what any single girl of this era does.... I Facebook stalk him. He only has one photo to look @, and clearly that is not enough. Next step, actual googling (and yes that is a word). Lo and behold... a blog ! I have already started the stalking so I figure what harm would it do to keep going and look @ a few entries. An hour later I feel like I have a pretty good indication of this fellow. He is a bit too churchy/BYU for me, which lead me to the following thought.

When people ever mention a boy, I meet a boy etc, one of the top 3 questions I ask is- "Is he a BYU fan ?" Not "Is he a member of the church ? Is he addicted to drugs ?" nope... sports allegiances fall higher on my need to know information. I wonder.... is that a bad thing ? Am I cutting off potential friends by the mere fact they cheer for the Cougars ? Yes... and I don't know that that's a bad thing. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind BYU in it's entirety, but when I start thinking about their athletic program, rage starts building. Call me crazy and close minded but rage should not be the foundation of a relationship. So judge all you want but Cougars and I don't really mix for dating.
