I met Nathanial on a red eye flight. I wanted nothing more than to get a few hours of sleep as I was suffering from a horrendous cold and coming off of the most ridiculously evil day in the history of womankind. That is just shorter than the history of mankind, but directly correlates with my, and all men's, lack of one rib.
I was reading a book by the name of "The Evolution of Desire" which I greatly recommend to anyone who wants to understand why we do the things we do.
I was struck by a particular paragraph in this book describing how, in a controlled test, the more faces included in a merged photo (utilizing different characteristics but, ultimately, removing any asymetry) the more attractive it was considered. This fun fact was something I threw at my seat mate and we struck up a two hour conversation about life, attraction, tv and goals. Nathanial will someday write music for movies and television. Just the man I needed to meet. I feel that we will have great use for one another in the future.
When we were awaiting our luggage I introduced my family to his. To tell the truth, Bob and Rita were somewhat puzzled when I told them I felt like I knew them already and gave them a hug. My mom is amazing and as I was talking a little with Bob and Nathanial she struck up a conversation with Rita. They were getting along like old friends. I think my mother either contributed to my outgoing personality or she just doesn't care how ridiculous I make her feel.
Either way, what a woman!
