This Summer, both meanings

[terranoctem]

So far this summer has gone fairly well. I had a nice long vacation, and now I have a class, a job and great friends. After this weekend's adventure at the lake, I cannot help but be excited about how the rest of the summer will go. The Government Printing Office is finally getting revved up for having me in the fall, which I am very excited

Hi Isaac

[chatteheureuse]

Three little words, but I think you already know them: you deserve better. Obviously I didn't have a bird's-eye view of your relationship, but I'm sure Summer's close-mindedness must be her "personal reason." If you're even half as good a boyfriend as you are a good guy and a good friend, then no girl--Kentuckian or not--can possibly have cause to complain about anything else. I'm really disappointed in her, because she seemed cooler than this. I just hope the experience hasn't made you disgruntled with being the good guy, because we need more of your kind around, not less.

Wow, breaking up with someone by email just seems like something somebody would do in junior high or early high school. It's certainly more of a reflection on her issues than of YOU.

Also, as for the issue of sexuality, it seems like a real shame that she couldn't appreciate your openness in discussing something so important to you and your identity. If there's one major thing I've been able to learn and grow comfortable with after finishing high school, it's that sexuality is fluid. Even though I don't think anyone could place themselves exactly (numerically) on a continuum of sexuality, I love the idea of the Kinsey scale--that idea has certainly brought a lot of comfort to me.

Well, this is getting long (it's kind of funny that we haven't seen each other or talked in so long, but this is an important thing and I felt like I should respond). Anyway, I am sure that there is a much more understanding, deserving girl or guy waiting for you in your future!

Hey, Isaac. I can't add much to what's been said above, other than, you're still the same Isaac to me, no matter what your sexuality is. Katie put it beautifully, sexuality is fluid. Also, as someone said above you're a/the "good guy" and I really love that about you.
I can understand why your sexuality might make her question the relationship, but there is really very little excuse for her behavior. Don't feel badly.
And if you want to do fun stuff or not fun stuff or any other kind of stuff, I'm around here. (Can I put that any more vaguely?)

And I'm sure that there is somebody just waiting for you. Absolutely positively one-hundred percent sure; I'd stake my life on it (and by the way, that stuff in the vial is Iocane Powder :-P). If there isn't a somebody waiting for someone as wonderful as you, then there is no hope for humanity, and everybody is insane. (Or taken over by the Borg, maybe.) Well, enough of me being silly, but hopefully under all the junk I've mumbled here you understand what I'm trying to say.

Let me know if I can do anything to help. The whole gang is always free to go do crazy things if you need to take your mind off things.
