Legen....

You know what? I’m done being single. I’m not good at it. Look, obviously you can’t tell a woman you just met that you love her. I’ll tell you something though. Say if a woman -- not you -- just some hypothetical woman, were to bear with me through all this, I think I’d make a damn good husband, cause that’s the stuff I’d be good at, stuff like making her laugh, being a good father, and walking her 5 hypothetical dogs and being a good kisser…
Ted Mosby [How I Met Your Mother; Season 1, Episode 1]

I bet you're wondering why I began this post off with that huge quote from Ted Mosby. Well, I just rewatched that episode of How I Met Your Mother, and it made me realize I am the female embodiment of Ted Mosby. I have been known to drop the "L-bomb" within hours or a mere couple days of meeting a guy, and, to be honest, if you take the statement above and make it into the female version, I think you'll notice it fits me, Kristin (except for the 5 dogs...make it 5 cats! XD).
Is "being a Ted" a bad thing? In my opinion, not really. I mean, sometimes it gets me hurt but honestly I enjoy it; it means I have a big heart and tend to care deeply for people. You know that feeling where you just click with another person? I get that a lot...not because I date a lot of guys, but because with each guy I date I take one or two traits I like about them and try to find someone new with those traits plus many more that I really like :) Being a Ted is a lot of fun sometimes, but not everyone can be :P Some people have to be Barney or Marshall.
Seriously, How I Met Your Mother is a show about love in this generation. You have the couple (Marshall and Lilly), the gigolo (Barney), the strong independent female (Robin), and that one guy who's always unlucky-in-love (Ted). We all know people just like each of them, may they be friends or family members, and we love them for who they are. Yes, my Ted-like qualities do annoy my friends on occasion but they forgive me after a while :)

So, readers, do you have a television series you've connected with on a level that I have connected to How I Met Your Mother on?

A TV show I've connected to? I have shows I love, Criminal Minds, Supernatural, and a few others but I've never had one that I seriously identified with a character on. I've got a million books that I've had that insane "Oh HELL YEAH that's ME" gut reaction to though..

"Well I may have your heart, He has your body..." ~ Bayside <3! [Don't Call Me Peanut]

And so goes another one out of my life most likely. Yep, I lost another friend in the last 48 hours; Spencer. All I can say is I'm sorry, but Cora was just telling you what I was thinking but not telling you; I wasn't going to go over to Bob's, get wasted, and potentially sleep with you. No. That's NOT how I work, and you of all people should know this by now. But whatever. Like my IM said to him earlier, he knows how to get at me. *sigh* So about how that even came about... My family went away to The Great Escape Lodge this weekend, leaving me back here in East Bumblebuttons because I had to work :/ It's all good; I had my own fun. I worked, hung out at the Bowley's house with Joanna and Melissa, hung out with Cora at Rite Aid, then even hung with Amy for a little while and talked about old times :) It definitely was super fun for me. Now how does Spencer work into this? Well, he had told me earlier in the week that he was going to go help Zach housesit for Bob

"If it's not perfect I'll perfect it til my heart explodes..." ~ Hinder <333

Now that ^^ is an old song...at least to people my age haha! It was super popular in 2005, and then Hinder started to suck. I never gave it any thought until I heard it with Tawny today, and I was like "WHOA! This song actually makes sense to me now!" The chorus goes: Go home, get stoned We can end up making love instead of misery Go home, get stoned Because the sex is so much better when you're mad at me After dating (and having sex with) a stoner, I understand this now. Wow, am I enlightened! Hahaha! I hung out at FMCC today, mostly with Spencer as I said was going to happen :P Actually before that, I hung out with Cindy; I MISS HER LIKE CRAZY! Then I was with Spencer for almost 3 hours, until Aaron came and stole'd him away D: :P I went into the "Dungeon", found Lauren and Adam, FINALLY talked to Justin, and then saw Mike and his new girlfriend, which is a girl I've known for a couple years now named Alea. Then Tawny and I left campus, went to McDonal

EPIPHANY! :D

If you think about it, being in love is simply settling for someone you really get along with who has similar interests that you can't describe why you feel the way you do for them but you do and it's an amazing feeling. I've always wanted to believe that love and all things related was like this biiiiig beautiful rainbow of stuff that happened and we'd all live happily ever after. WRONG! Love is exactly what my quote above says; settling for that one person who makes you happy and you get along with. Now, I've had my share of bad relationships, let's not kid ourselves, but honestly I take each one and use it towards discovering what I really want out of a longer lasting one. For instance, in my last relationship the guy I was with would walk around his town with me and show me everywhere he used to work or hang out at; I felt like I was getting a deeper understanding of him. I liked that. Unfortunately, he's addicted to pot; that I didn't like. The
