December Issue Supplement

Unfortunately, I did not receive many questions this month. But here are a few that I thought were worth answering even though they did not make it into the Storm Chaser itself.

Dear Knickerbocker,
Why is it so hard for girls and guys to hang out without the rest of the campus making assumptions that they are more than just friends?

On the campus of a small Christian college there is a certain (often fallacious) expectance that single guys and single girls will get together and magically be single no longer. Hence many people will hastily conclude that when a guy and a girl are close that there is a romantic interest (my own roommate has done this countless times to me). Because of the dynamic at this college, relationships do tend to burst into flame quickly from just a small spark, but some people tend to take this a little too much to heart and expect it to happen to everyone here.

Dear Knickerbocker,
I went to Nerf Wars as you suggested, but I didn't see you there! What will it take to make you come?

I play whenever the fancy strikes me. Keep coming and eventually you’ll see me. It’s a great hobby and I enjoy it immensely. However, due to the nature of the game, it is only playable at night most weeks. Since I have to be awake and alert in order to learn, I often choose to sleep instead of kill.

Dear Knickerbocker,
Will the Seahawks make the playoffs?

Not a chance.
