The (Dumb) Things We Do For Love

I happened to catch a snippet of "Judge Judy" the other day, and she made a comment to one of the female defendants.
"I don't know why you did that, but women do dumb things when they are in love."

Blunt, but true. We do dumb things. I'm sure men do dumb things, too.
So it got me thinking of the dumb things I have done for love. Or was it lust? Or was it a crush? Or was it merely action? It hardly matters at this point. I can laugh about them now. Some things occurred years ago, and others more recently.

- joined a bowling league (I suck at bowling) and often wore a skirt to the games. Oh yeah, that looked stellar with my bowling shoes
- planned a bday party around someone else's work schedule (he never showed)
- bought a fishing license which I used a whopping two times, and never caught a fish
- went to church on a weekly basis to check out the alter man
- stayed out till 2 am after playing vball, on a weeknight
- hung out at Mad Dog's, the meat market in Madison, in the hopes of finding a former flame
- went to Michigan Tech for winter carnival, once again, in the hopes of finding a former flame
- went to some "after bar" while vacationing in Phoenix
- went to "Eric's cabin" on a cruise ship
- let "Eric" visit my cabin after hours, against the ship rules
- drove with Tara to Kansas City so I could meet Tara's cousin who, at the time, had a psycho girlfriend
- alternated my walk home from college classes so I could pass my lustman on the foot bridge

I'm sure there are many more. Ahhh...the (dumb) things we do for love.
