G-d Has a Funny Sense of Humor

You may recall that I was pretty infatuated with this girl I kinda sorta knew. Well, that ended. I mean I continued to like her but after trying to get set up with her through a number of channels, I realized it was futile. She obviously didn't want to go out with me. Didn't mean I didn't have a gut wrenching crush on her, just that I realized it wasn't going anywhere so I stopped expending effort on it. Eventually the feelings started fading and it no longer hurt me as much to think about her.

Recently I found out she got engaged. This kind of news is usually tough on me. Whenever I find out that someone I liked got engaged, it throws me for a loop for a couple of days. I think, this can't be happening. It is a cross between feeling forlorn that I am still single while someone else my age is getting married and a feeling of lost opportunity.

This time was worse. Way worse. She will be getting married on my birthday! There are 364 other days in the year and THIS is the day she had to choose?

G-d sure has a funny sense of humor.
