My Own Something... inspired by New Year Kid

Dear Something,

I hope you're having a wonderful day. No, I really do. I hope you're laughing and talking and being your charming self. I liked talking to you today. I mean, the sentences I said that made sense when I wasn't feeling too anxious to form and verbalize a rational sentence. Not that I'm really worried you think I'm stupid. I know you're dumb. How do I know that, you ask? You're a boy, that's how. Amid other things I know about you. Irrelevant.

I sort of like you. Want to get to know you. Woo hoo! CC Lemon has yet another crush! It doesn't take long, does it? But I'm not sure it matters. I mean, my crushes are always only one-sided. I'm not sure that will ever change. Not that I'm an old maid already, but I was thinking and I realized that all my chances at having a healthy relationship went out the window the second my mom left - the one person who is genetically programmed to love me - GONE.

I'm sorry. That was probably too heavy for a mere acquaintance to hear.

On top of that... I'm moving in a month. I barely have time to do homework and watch the newest episode of Gossip Girl, let alone pine after my newest crush. Even if I did have time, my number one New Year's goal is: NO PINING! Do you see all the dilemmas I face?

But I dared to let myself hope for a second that maybe you want to get to know me better, too. Stupid, stupid CC! Because you're going to be just like the last guy and the guy before him. I pine, I snap, I leave, you ignore. I might be wrong. But I haven't been wrong yet. I'm just throwing that out there.

Something, I'm going to take the weekend to mentally run through our inevitable non-relationship all the way to the end. I'll see you in class in a few days.

Sincerely,

CC Lemondrop

P.S. No boy could ever be better than this Turkey Ranch and Swiss sandwich I'm eating...

  1. Dear CC,
    I believe you are being unnecessarily pessimistic and self sabatoging. While you know I love you, you have GOT to learn to be OPEN to the POSSIBILITY of a healthy relationship. Nothing good is ever going to happen to you in the boy world if you keep focusing on making sure it doesn't. Put yourself out there; you might get hurt, but you can handle it. You might find happiness, and you can handle that too.

  2. Just an update on Something that I find to be hilarious. We'll call him Rick. Today in class we were listing different ways to get a certain idea across in English. The examples were, "I like doing homework with Rick, Rick and I like doing homework together" etc. I decided to throw my idea out there. "Homework - I LIKE DOING IT WITH RICK!" Everyone laughed. It was embarrassing. I like doing it with Rick? What was I thinking?
