Only to rise and fall again.

I have the Thompson Twins in my head.  The song from the end of Sixteen Candles where Jake Ryan is waiting for her outside of the church. But I have to be honest, I have the Carey Brothers version going on, the one from Easy A (which was actually a pretty good movie to be honest).  None of this is important except for the fact that I’m always falling, myself.

It’s been mentioned before, somewhere, that I fall a little in love with my friends.  I know I’ve said it, and it’s totally true.  I meet a staggering amount of people in my line of work and always have, just because I’m one of those people who will strike a conversation anywhere, about anything, with anyone.

But while I have a ridiculous amount of acquaintances, I have a very tiny number of friends. And the group gets smaller the more I flit around the world and fail to email people back.  I continue to work towards being a better communicator with people I care about. It’s the main reason I have a blog, I love creating dialogue! But it seems facebook is taking over most of those communications!

I startled me this morning to realize the sheer number of ‘crushes’ I develop, in various ways.  I’m talking about the ‘Oh wow, he’s cute, I hope we have a second date’ kinda crush’ AND I’m talking about the ‘my friend is so X, I love her so much’.  These are the beautiful things we see in other people and want to spend more time with them.  It’s what keeps you coming back to friends time and again.  I’m very happy to have these crushes on my friends and people, I just wish I had better radar when it comes to crushes on dates.
