The Abundance of Katherines: Colin

I'm going to go more in depth into what I talked about in my last blog post. Colin is definitely more focused on equations, and reading, and logic than anything else. He says on page 109, "'I'm behind on my reading.'" after Hassan suggests he should go out with Lyndsey and him for the night. And now, thinking about it, he may actually like it. I think that actually may be Colin's safe place, where he is free to control anything he wants. He feels power because he is smart so nothing is tooo problematic for him in the book-smart world. In his social life, he may experience problems he does not know how to fix, though. And that subconciously scares him. Colin doesn't like the idea of making mistakes. He likes to solve mistakes. He's even trying to come up with a formula that decribes why he is the dumpee opposed to the dumper in all of his relationships. He thinks he can just make up a formula and it will solve everything. He needs to realize that real life doesn't actually work that way.
