Getting out of town is good for the mind

Ladies, I have made a startling discovery!

The secret to all of the boys being hot and cold is that they are Superheroes. Yes, it is the only answer: a secret life of fighting crime and injustice makes these boys/men unable to commit. How can they date us when our lives would be put in danger by their enemies and various nemeses? (Sadly, this was the epiphany I had while sitting in Fast and Testimony meeting in the Strathcona Ward today- my spirituality is astounding!!)

Actually, I was led to this conclusion while watching "Spiderman 2" last night. Poor Mary Jane Watson is screwed over royally by Peter Parker as he alternately tells he loves her and doesn't love her. When she can't be bothered by him, he is all over her, but the minute she comes to him with her heart out, he shuts her down. Of course, she doesn't realize that he has a genuine reason for this inconsistency, and that he actually is staying away from her to protect her. So, I am going to give all of the boys I know the benefit of the doubt and say that they all have such reasons to drive us so crazy.

We have spoons now, so we won't make you eat any ice cream with a plastic fork!

Can't wait for you to get home!
