I'm taking my ball and going home....

So this is what being an adult is all about - same playground but when people leave, they take a hell of a lot more than their ball home....

Songs of Love

Have you ever noticed that when you are in the throws of getting into or out of a relationship, 95% of the songs you hear are about love? It's really frustrating if you're trying to get the 'third party' off your mind.

As I was walking home from work today I kept having to skip songs on my ipod to find something without a love theme. Then, just as I was rounding the corner to the train station I came across a couple kissing on the side walk - I thought god damn what is this an Alley McBeal episode? I have never seen anyone kissing on that side street in my entire life!

Ok yes I think you do tend to read into situations more when you are in that head space but sometimes it really is totally uncanny....

I finished my Monday watching Battle of the Choirs when the words of this heart wrenching Cold Play song, Fix You was enough to tip me over the edge.....

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth.......

Extraordinary

If you want to live an extraordinary life you have to do extraordinary things.

Self-fulfilling Prophecies

Ok so I've written about getting your ducks in a row, I've written about the true one night stand and I've written about that awful in between stage of not knowing what to say or when to ring.

I guess I haven't really written about love yet though and all the ridiculous stuff we do to either consciously or subconsciously avoid it. We all have patterns around our behaviour - the trick is to work out what they are and then how to avoid getting stuck in these same patterns, doing the same things over and over again. See there I go already getting off the topic of love again....

Here's my current theory for my 'love pattern'..

I hate getting being stuck in between the just friend or does he like me more, or just sex or is this going somewhere stage. I lost a male friend, really close buddy when I was younger because that whole cross over stage went ass up. I really blamed myself for that, I thought how stupid of me, I lost a lifelong friend because I thought I was in love with him.

I think perhaps from that experience I therefore thought - shit I'm crap at this, I'm going to ruin any sort of relationship when it gets to that stage and since then I pretty much have.

If you have a big enough racket about something, you are bound to self fulfil your own prophecy.
