The Abundance of Katherines blog #1

Colin Singleton is a child prodigy with some relationship problems. He has dated 19 girls all of them named Katherine. After being dumped by #19 his best friend Hassan decides it's time for some vacation time on the road. They end up in Gunshot Tennessee, a one factory town that makes tampon strings. Colin knows every priminister of Canada, 90 digits of Pi, and the 43 anagrams of the word dingleberries. But he is taking on a new mission to prove his Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which could predict the lenght and predictability of an relationship anywhere. Colin will make the world safe for every dumpee everywhere. I'm on page 191 and Colin has just perfected his theorem, which is really long and involves a lot of math symbols I don't even know.Colin may be smart and a 'prodigy' but he is convinced that he is not yet in fact a genius. Prodigies as Colin says have a lot of potential but usually they don't have any more likely chance of winning the Noble Prize than any other regular smart person. Colin wants to make something of himself - be remembered forever. But to achieve greatness he must come to terms with his own 19 timed broken heart and what he really wants to do with is extra ordinary life.
