LJI 10 Week 3: The Infinite Lovebot

[alycewilson]

This is my entry for Week 3 of LJ Idol, Season 10 (therealljidol). The topic this week is "Brushback Pitch," which is when a pitcher throws a ball very close to a batter, in order to get him or her to step back from the plate.

I liked this, very honest, with almost a dry humour that didnt detract from the story you were telling

[alycewilson]

Thanks! That is the feel I was going for.

The first part, whew!been there

When I was 18 I gave my first girl crush a poem I'd written about my feelings for her only to find out the feelings weren't reciprocated but we stayed friends. I always wondered though. (ps I sat in a bathroom stall and cried for a long time after she passed me a note in class a few days later)

Very honestly written!

Awww! I know exactly how you felt! I'm proud to say I did remain friends with all of those guys (except the jock, who ran in different circles from me).

I didn't think it fit here, but I also accidentally broke a few hearts, too: nice guys pining for me while I dreamed of other guys. I was always surprised when they made their feelings known, and would try to let them down easy. Friendship and love are so intermixed, I don't blame anyone who gets it wrong.

Honest and painful, and something I can relate to myself. Thank you for sharing.
