The Ones you Pushed Away
| Fri, 04-20-2007 - 4:04pm |
Happy Friday everyone. It's a pretty good day here. It's 70 degrees outside, the sun is shining, it's Friday, and it's payday. So a good day all around!
I was thinking about this the other day. I don't know why - I think sometimes I think too much.
I was wondering about the ones in my dating life that I have pushed away. (Not to be confused with the "ones who got away") but the ones that I made the conscience decision to push away from me, for whatever reason - I wasn't available, I didn't want to date, maybe something about that person at the TIME put me off, etc.
I know there's nothing that we can do about it now but learn from our mistakes, but still, do you ever wonder...?

I think a lot of girls suffer from the bad boy syndrome. Some perhaps more than others. It's interesting to me too because it's not just one type of girl who is drawn to them. I have sweet innocent friends who are addicted and then there are the bad girls in their own right who are hooked.
Well, I have been wayyyyyyyyy emotional lately so, I'm sure it was due to that . . . I watched The Color Purple last week. Didn't even see the bad parts just the last hour or so when all of the good stuff starts happening to Celie. I BAWLED like a baby! I don't know WHAT is going on. Good quote though.

Oh god I was watching that too the other night. Geeze and I have seen that movie about a million and a half times, and, darn it!, I KNOW what happens and I still well up when Nettie shows up from Africa after all those years.
What REALLY did it to me later on was when they showed the PETA commercial with all the little animals that had been abandoned in the Katrina disaster. I had to leave the room. God, I'm such a pushover. Why does the network do that to us??! I guess they figure the demographic will already be emotional from the movie - let's show them poor little fuzzy neglected and dirty kitties and puppies!! Those b*st*rds!! ;)
I do, in fact, I was wondering so much recently that I found some of them online....
One guy, who I just went on a few dates with last spring, and really didn't feel much attraction towards (although in hindsight I'm finding that when a guy is interested in me, it kind of freaks me out and I want to run the other way), he is now living in California (he was in MI) and dating some chick that is totally into herself.
Another guy, who we were pretty much just friends after he split the (lunch) bill on our first 'date', he went out and got a girlfriend and is one of those people that won't talk to the opposite sex when he has a girlfriend.
That's all I can think of for now, but hey, more power to them, they obviously weren't the right ones for me!
You did better than me, then. I cried when Sofia had to drive Miss Millie back home and missed X-mas dinner with her family. I cried when Shug intercepted the letter from Nettie and then found the stash that Albert had been hiding all those years. I cried when Celie cursed Albert, told him that nothing good would come until he did right by her and then finally left his sorry ass. I cried when Celie threw those chocolate gold coins to the little girl running alonside the train. I cried when Celie inherited her father's house. I cried when Shug made her way back to her father's church and sung her heart out. I even cried when Albert got drunk and told Sofia that it was good to see she and Harpo together again!?!? I cried when Albert finally did right by Celie and paid to have Nettie & the rest of the family to come back to the states. OMG you can forget it when the cars start pulling into Celie's driveway, right at sunset(as Nettie suggested in her letters), amongst all those purple flowers. That is when I have to leave the room ; )
I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!
And, yes, I think you are right, I think the networks play upon our emotional states ; ) Ha-Ha!
