It is funny how I can be so utterly apathetic, unmotivated, and largely unconcerned about something like my studies, and yet be so focused - fixated, even - about Zelda. It is true that I have never known a female to be like her: Christian, intelligent, and attractive - most of all intelligent, a rarity - but she surely is not the only one. If there is no other girl in the world who fulfills these criteria, then woe! unto the world. But I have not seen them.
There is, of course, some ineffable abstract specificity to her, something that sets her apart from all others - something beyond my ability to identify or categorize. And I have said that, objectively speaking, I have met no girl like her before (Christian, intelligent, attractive); but I have not really searched for one. And so, the elusive "Zelda-ness" factor aside, I have decided to start looking. If I find that there are others as wonderful as she, then she will no longer be quite so phenomenal, and perhaps that will be enough to help me let go of the elusive part of my attraction.
