I Just Went All Kate Hudson On You. Sorry.
Numb3rs was a great show and it was a sad day for me when it ran it’s course of eight seasons and then ended. The math in that show is amazing and it made me want to be a mathematician. Too bad I am awful at it. However I did get to use something the show brought to my attention. I graduated high school early and doubled up on college classes too. When finals came we drew a topic out of a box on what we would be writing about. I got social interactions. I might have become a bit to involved with my paper, but hey. It was a stinking good paper. Kate Hudson and Mathew McConaughey stared in a movie called ‘How to lose a guy in 10 days’. In the movie Kate’s character writes a magazine article about how to do just that. I mixed this idea with something I learned from Numb3rs called a Social Networks Diagram. I did do more research on what they actually used a Social Networks Diagram for and basically the FBI uses it see how terrorists are linked together with other people and networks. Pretty self explanatory. I thought it was awesome though and started webbing together groups of everything in my life. Whoops. Anyhow, with the inspiration from both shows, I began my own experiment on how to lose a guy in x amount of days. For the most part they reacted how I thought they would. I tried my formulation out of 23 different guys that I knew, sort of knew, acquaintances, and others that I didn’t know but just creeped on (what is facebook for anyways?) For the most part everything went exactly as I had imagined. A few of the guys surprised my though when it came down to it. After being obnoxious or just straight out ignoring them, they might still be trying to be my friend or what ever else they had planned. And yes I wander why. The paper was almost done but was missing something that would put the cherry on top of everything. The guy that I ended up using for it was perfect for the part. Looking back at it, it may have not been the best idea but without him it simply wouldn’t have been as good as it was. The guy was cute and successful in what he did for a living. As far as having a wide selection of girls to choose from, I would say he had the cream of the crop. I had met him a couple of times and kept in contact with him from time to time and all of a sudden he took interest. After building up a slow friendship for half a year, I took everything about myself and flipped it. He reacted more like I thought the rest of the boys would. Looking back at it I probably shouldn’t have been so dramatic about it but I had put so much time and love into that paper that it seemed like fate was giving me the missing piece of the puzzle. I never did explain to any of them or apologize which I should have but I guess that’s what I get for pulling a Kate Hudson in ‘How to lose a guy in 10 days.’ To bad my story didn’t end differently. Not sure this story has a point except for I now have the perfect equation if you want to view it in a more analytically point of view on how to start a friendship.
