Two things that made me think

Tuesday, July 11, 2006

Two things recently got me thinking. First, was from of all things, the Jeff Foxworthy show. This was a Nick at Night rerun at 4 AM on Monday. The son on the show has a crush on his teacher. The kid (who is about eight years old) really believes the teacher reciprocates his feelings. The mother pulls him aside and gives him this sage advice: "Sometimes when we have a crush we see things that aren't really there."
Boy, that philosophy hit me like a ton of bricks on a Monday morning. And, it really applied to something I had been thinking. Crushes are the worst. I don't like not knowing if this guy likes me or if that guy is gonna ever ask me out.

Second thing was this MCC thing I came across:

Girls Like Me
Girls like me aren’t hard to find
We grow like roses on the vine
We wear our hearts on our sleeves
You probably know a girl like me.

We live alone and in our heads
We eat standing up or in our beds
Guilt and fear merge easily
In the quiet souls of girls like me

And loneliness is like a cold,
Common and no cure we’re told
We take to bed per chance to dream
In the blue light of the TV screen.

Girls like me like summer light
And cold beer on a summer night
And boys who aren’t afraid of what they see
Inside the eyes of girls like me

And hopefulness is like a drug
It makes a girl believe in love
And if somehow you love us back
You think there’s something wrong with that

Girls like me aren’t hard to trust
Your deepest secret’s safe with us
And when it’s time to set you free
You can always count on girls like me

It’s good to know a girl like me
Could you love a girl like me
