a year of peace...

my friend nate is back from peru, and brought his fiancéé over for a little meet-n-greet tonight. it was great. and he once again recommended that i commence what he refers to as "a year of peace"...as far as i can remember, his year of peace only lasted eight or nine months... but at any rate it was apparently successful, and he has the fiancéé as proof.
nate and i have spent a great deal of time over the past year or so keeping each other apprised of the details of our failed attempts at procuring "love lives" for ourselves. and during a dearth, such as the one i'm having now, he always suggests that i just take a break, or a "year of peace" when one suspends all effort at dating. although, it seems that at these times i feel as though i'm already in a forced "year of peace" so i'm usually not too keen on the idea.
however, with my impending move to the gonzaga school of law (a.k.a. living in my grandma's basement in spokane) i realize that law school is the perfect time for a break. not a break from dating, since i've never really dated, but a break from worrying and caring and trying too hard. besides, law school will be enough work without bothering with hassles. and watching my sister make a mess of school while being engaged has definitely convinced me that i will be perfectly content if i graduate with my JD and am still unmarried... well, maybe not perfectly, but close enough :)
although, i have to admit that i do have a definitive weakness in the area of boys/guys/men, and declaring three years of peace would probably be futile. but maybe i could handle just one...
