Another lesson in love.

...or lack therof.

As discussed before, John Mayer is my absolute favorite, and, as I was searching for "Love Song for No One" on YouTube, I stumbled across a certain video from Any Given Thursday. In this video, John Mayer tells a parable that is relating very closely to my life right now, and I just thought his point of view was really interesting. Enjoy.

Foolish nonsensical nonsense.

So most of my posts don't make any sense.

But guess what? They don't need to.

A lady always leaves a little bit of mystery about her life; you can try and put the puzzle pieces together to figure out what's going on in mine if you feel so inclined.

However, that is totally unnecessary, and frankly, if I care enough to tell you what's going on, then the posts do make sense. It's like an enigma--if you don't have the code, you can't read anything.

So decode that.

Almost over or far from over?

Depends on how you look at it I guess.

I am not crazy.

Relationships are private. Things that go on the internet are public. Ergo, things relating to a relationship should not go on the internet.

The knots you're putting inside my stomach.

1 AM, a fight via text message, and this song is stuck in my head.


Some more attention, honey, put your hand on my hand....No more labor, I must sit and savor in the knots you're putting inside my stomach, need more water if this gets much hotter, oh you see me so, you see me too well.

Weird vibes or paranoia?

Ever over-think something and get really paranoid?

I do it all the time.

Right now, though, I'm at my absolute WORST. That's when you over-think, get paranoid, then think, "Oh, I'm just being paranoid...but what if I'm not over-thinking this at all?" So then you over-think your over-thinking.

Does that make sense?

Anyways, I am really ready for Spring Break to be over tomorrow. I'm tired of all this free time. It gives me too much time to sit around and think. And excessive thinking, for me, often leads to over-thinking, which leads us right back to the place from which we came.

Terrible cycle, isn't it?

Keep it classy and fabulous!

Boom boom boom, kiss kiss kiss.

This is terrible.
It's 4 AM, and this song (which perfectly describes how I feel), is stuck in my head.

An interesting thought...

"You don't step into love, you fall in. Head over heels. Have you ever seen someone fall head over heels in love? It's ugly, bro. Toxic, septic." --George Lopez as Alphonso in "Valentine's Day"

Thought for the day: All Love is Equal.

What if your best friend fell in love with their soulmate and wanted to marry them...and were told that they couldn't?

What if YOU found the person you were meant to spend the rest of your life with, and you were told you weren't allowed to?

This is the plight of gay people everywhere. Every day,in addition to the social stigma that they have to bear, gays everywhere are denied the right to marry.

This, to me, is completely illogical. Love is love. All love is equal, and the love between a man and a woman is no better than that love between two men or two women.

In addition, I would just like to point out that homosexual couples routinely report being happier (on average) in their relationships than heterosexual couples, and that a large number of adults who deal with depression and bipolar disorder are children of divorce. Homosexual couples are less likely to break up, and they are more likely to raise their children in a tolerant and loving environment. I'm not saying all gay couples are good and all straight couples are bad (I'm straight, so obviously I don't think it's bad), but I just want to debunk a bunch of the myths surrounding that particular issue. I'm not posting sources on here, look it up.

And if you bring God into it, then personally, I find it hard to believe that God would hate any form of love. God teaches us to love one another, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation.

All love is equal. Equal rights for all.

A Review: He's Just Not That Into Me.

Sometimes we have to review the things we don't want to review. Like accounting. Or chemistry. Or vector calculus.

One lesson that every woman should understand and review regularly: "He's just not that into you."

We kid ourselves every day, saying, "Oh, he's busy," "Oh, it's finals week," "Oh, he got too drunk," "He's in a meeting," "His grandmother died," "He got hit by a car."

WRONG. It doesn't take any amount of effort to text someone a quick "Hey, how are you?" If he likes you, it will show. Below I have some other major lessons, plus links to corresponding videos (click on the title of the lesson).

Class is in session.

Lesson 1: If he wants to call you, he will call you.
Men do what they want. Always. So wouldn't it make sense that if the rest of the time, men do what they want, that they will do what they want to get something they want? For example, call a girl they want to date? Basic logic says yes. So if he doesn't call or text, give it up.

Lesson 2: You are the rule.
You know how Cinderella got the marry the prince even though she never told him her name and she was poor and out of his social class? Or how Sleeping Beauty's prince randomly came and saved her? Or how the prince came and woke up Snow White even though he didn't know her and oh, yeah, she was dead?
Fairy tales aren't real life. They're STORIES. So no, sorry, you are not a fairy-tale princess. If your Prince Charming cheats on you, lies to you, doesn't call, or is only about sex, he's not Prince Charming, and again, he's just not that into you.

Lesson 3: If he breaks up with you, he doesn't want to be with you. For whatever reason, women seem to think that a breakup is just a jumping off point for negotiations. If he breaks up with you, HE'S NOT COMING BACK. No matter what BS line he uses when he dumps you.

Well, that's it for today. Sorry for being cynical, but I just felt like saying it.

MY FAVE CELEB COUPLE IS GETTING MARRIED!

So, for those of you who don't know--Caleb Followill, the lead singer for Kings of Leon, is my ideal man,at least in terms of looks, artistic ability, and mild southern twang (he IS from Tennessee, after all).

Unfortunately for me, though, Caleb was off the market long ago, dating an up-and-coming model named Lily Aldridge.

I didn't even realize who Lily Aldridge was until I stumbled across a random photograph from her early days of modeling (below). It was from a spread in Elle Girl magazine, circa 2004-ish. In this particular spread (which wound up being quite controversial), Lily was sporting undergarments as outerwear--slips, corsets, etc. Her hair and makeup was similar to that of a 1920s silent film star after the star sticks her finger in a light socket. I was so struck by this particular spread that my little 13-year-old self decided it would be a good idea to try teasing my hair and wearing a slip as a dress. But I digress.

So it turned out that my dream man was dating a model I had aspired to look like for many years now. I jealous that I didn't look like Lily, but after reading a couple of interviews with her, I saw that even though she was the newest Victoria's Secret Angel, she was extremely down to earth. I felt better that my rock-and-roll frontman wasn't dating some socialite wannabe.

As I lightly stalked the couple via internet, I fell more and more in love with them as a pair. They seemed right together--and if there's one thing I love, it's a good romance. So today, when I randomly decided to Wikipedia Lily Aldridge, I found out that she and Caleb are ENGAGED!!!

That's right, folks! As of yesterday, Caleb Followill is off the market!

I'm thrilled for them. Obviously, I would love to have Caleb Followill for myself, but since he happened to fall in love and get engaged to someone, I'm glad it's someone as cool as Lily Aldridge.

Congratulations you two!

So wha ha happened was...

So last week I talked about suffering from breakuporexia and being upset because a boy sent me over the edge. So this is what happened:
I met this kid Thursday.
He was supposed to come to my function.
He ditched me Tuesday, 2 days before my function.
And that's the end of the story.

The details aren't important. I'm trying this new thing where I don't put every detail of all of my personal relationships on full blast for everyone to critique/criticize/scrutinize/idolize. Relationships are an A-B thing, so C-ya, everyone else!

We'll come back to Throwback Thursday on another day.
Or maybe we should just abandon the idea completely?

Keep it classy and fabulous!
xoxo, Laura

I am not doing Throwback Thursday because...

A boy made me lose my mind.

I will write when I am not suffering from breakuporexia and when I no longer feel nauseous and confused 99% of the time.

C-ya!

Laura
