Song Lyric Sunday: The Curve of the Earth

I always forget what a bad friend I turn into in the summer time. Pumphouse always takes up a lot of my life (even more so now that I'm coordinator), this year I'm still working at Earls (usually on Saturdays, usually for a 10 hour shift because I'm a sucker for helping them out) and there are only so many nights in the week... I can't keep up with everyone. If someone texts or calls or FBs me during the day (aka when I am busy entertaining small children) I can guarantee you I will read the message, tuck my phone away and immediately proceed to forget about it for at least 24 hours.

Yep. Worst friend ever. Now that I've conquered my yearly Session Two illness, my next goal is to conquer that. I will do my very best not to suck.

However, I can't guarantee not sucking will align with blogging. Something's gotta give, right? But I will do my best...

And in the meantime? Another Song Lyric Sunday!!

In honour of his new CD, I've been listening to a lot of Matt Nathanson:

Tell me does he look like me at all
Cuz they're all an awful lot like you
~ The Curve of the Earth, Matt Nathanson


At the job which I cannot quit and no longer want to, I recently said (while sitting at the bar and enjoying free margaritas - yay for picking up extra shifts and getting rewarded!) that I think you keep falling for your first love over and over again.

The conversation was obstainably about my penchant for guys who apparently look like they should walk around like Preying Mantises all the time. (What can I say? I've noted it many times, I like tall lanky guys. I walked out of Tropic Thunder with an absolutely huge crush on Jay Baruchel.) I mean, guys who look like my very first ex haven't been the rule, per say, there have been a few exceptions... but only a few. Namely, one blonde and one guy who was only two inches taller than me. The lines in the song struck me while I drove home from that conversation.

Of course, it's more than just physical appearance and I think the second line speaks to that. It's not that I want to date the same guy I dated when I was seventeen, but there are some patterns that repeat. I'm starting to think that I honestly thrive by feeling like I'm just working as hard as I can to keep my head above water in relationship drama. Not that I'm causing drama where there shouldn't be any, but I don't run away when it's being thrown at me or drowning me. I fall for guys that I feel like I need to save - crossroads in their life or dealing with something big or... because if I'm saving them, it doesn't matter if I'm messy too.

Also. I always seem to fall for guys who constantly try to teach me things.

Yep. They're all an awful lot like you.
