So we head over to the Enclave to do some swimming / hot-tubbing. (Brady, I called, you didn't answer). Not being a fan of cold water, I'm chilling in the hot-tub while the other people are in the pool. We've been out there for about 15-20 minutes or so and a girl and w guys come out of an apartment to the pool area. The girl is wearing a baby-blue bikini despite the big sign saying "NO BIKINIS - BYU appropriate swimwear only". She starts to get in the hot tub, I glance up, say something along the lines of "Hey, how's it going?" --- She looks at me for a second, and responds with "I'm engaged" and sits down. I'm absolutely stunned, I really had no idea what to think. A simple "pretty good" would have sufficed, it wasn't like I was trying to get in her scantily-clad bikini; just trying to be friendly.... so this is just one of the many reasons I've given up on being friendly, it doesn't get you anywhere. There is apparently no purpose in being nice to people because people are jerks, and being nice is apparently an open invitation to treat me like dirt.

So guess what world, "Screw you." Making the effort just isn't worth it.
