sidewalk romance
Since about two weeks ago, somebody chalked a series of phrases starting from Memorial Glade up to Sather Gate. They started out like "She always orders hot dogs," "She kisses you even when you're driving"; then they turned into "We're fatasses," "We make each other laugh"; and by Sproul Plaza they became pleads: "You were selfless. You are perfect. Please take me back. I'll be different..."

It was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen (made me cry a little, frankly). Anyone know the story behind this? (Did she take him back?)

All in all, it made me happy to think of those out there who are unafraid to be foolish, hopeless and wonderfully romantic.

That's pretty cute, I have to say.

I probably would've been dumb and said something like, "Are these lines from a song or something?"

also i think they started from one of the entrances to mclaughlin hall

I thought it was an art installation that was meant to be kind of ironic. I guess I have no soul.

Poking fun at overly engrossing (and/or overly adorable) college romances.

actually the messages led to Sproul, where he played music and held up placards (like in love actually, when the guy who is in love with Keira Knightly) saying things about how amazing she was and how he was sorry. Then he gave her flowers and she kissed him, and everyone who figured out what was going on applauded.

I broke up with my boyfriend the day before, so i opted to start crying

Aww, I used to do stuff like that. Except I sucked at it.

This guy's a little bit more suave. I give them two months.

I would love it if my boyfriend did that- using only lines from the Mountain Goats' "Tallahassee."

apparently he cheated on her and that's why he wrote the notes. cute yet not the best reason to have to do such a thing.

adorable. though i do agree, it would have been sweeter had it just been for the hell of it, and not to make up for being a cheating bastard.
