So… I was watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall and thinking how I moved to a beach town and keep running into the last person to bruise my heart a bit. No, its not Hawaii unfortunately. No one seems to be as nice or free to give me liquor. But that shouldn’t stop me.
I remember when I first saw this movie in the theaters. I went with a friend at the time that happened to be a guy. I had a crush on him in Optom school, but ended up spending my third year sleeping with his roommate instead. The roomate quickly turned into a crush and then turned again into my first and most beneficial heartbreak. I don’t look back upon that year with any animosity anymore. It is what it is. I needed that heartache. I had dated guys before and things didn’t work out. I usually just walked away and didn’t really feel anything. This was the potato chip, crying couch boy. We all need that I guess to know we do have the capability to love. Anyways, after all was said and done I used to hang out with Jake a bunch as a friend. We went to the movies a lot and he tried to get in my pantalones a bunch of times, but I didn’t feel that way. So we went to this movie and of course I loved it. Who doesn’t love Jason Segall?
A few months later, while studying for finals Jake showed up with a CD. It had a bunch of letters on it and was a home-made burned CD. I put it in the computer at school and Cake’s Love You Madly started playing. I was shocked. I felt horrible and wonderful and so confused. Was this a confession? Who gives CDs in the first place? I listened on… and then I realized haaha This was the soundtrack from Forgetting Sarah Marshall and not a boys way to tell me he liked me. I was a bit sad and also happy. I giggled a bit about this one….
I doubt that some hot receptionist or town information guide (I don’t know what the equivalent is) will want to hang out with me. I don’t think my neighbors will bring me extra rum nips with pineapple juice… and unfortunately Ive already jumped off a 15 foot cliff right here in Newport with the last boy… So, again, not sure where to go… But Im hoping for the best. This is the bright side….
