What is it about the north? Maybe the cold, the snow, the way starring at endless expanses covered in white oblivion can kill your heart and maim your soul? Well, whatever it is, its certainly good at keeping cute girls away. A whole week here, and I have yet to see one girl with short hair, brown eyes or even horn rimmed glasses. No one wearing converse all stars (frankly, it is too cold, even for the cutest of shoes), no vintage track jackets, no pea coats and no cute hats with a little flower on it.

I found a show this weekend, it is a high school band that is playing at a bowling alley (yeah, I'm desperate). But it's supposed to be the gathering place for every emo kid in the tri-county area (so maybe 6 people will show, not including the bowlers). Maybe there will be cute girls? Who knows. What is certain is that even if there are cute girls there, they will be in high school. They will not be 22, they will not obsess about how messy their rooms are, they will not be former prom queens, they will not have amazing apartments, they will not look cute while sleeping, and they will not be named kaitlyn.
