Stars & Connections

I'm not one to be believing in horoscopes and the stars, but sometimes it really seems as if what the astronomers are saying might be true. I myself am a Gemini, and in true Gemini fashion, not only do I sometimes seem to have totally split personalities, but all my life, I've also taken interest in anything that might make my brain work a little more than it should.

Hobbies that I have - Photography, music, skating, gaming, and more recently, paintball. One of these hobbies alone is enough to burn a hole in one's wallet if it is taken seriously enough, and here I am, trying to take all of them seriously. Gosh. It's time to start toning down, put some serious thought into what I really need and don't need. As much as it is fun trying out new things, I think there should be a limit as to how far I get into it. Now that I have my licence as well, there's that thought of getting my own little ride to move around in, and that's definitely gonna burn quite a big one.

I was talking to a friend that day, and she's the typical all-guys-are-jerks type of person, having been with a few, all of whom were magnificent bastards. She did mention something that made me think a little though. Half the time, when the guy wants to get the girl, he would come up with all sorts of things to convince the girl that she's the most important person in the world blah blah blah, and that was what this guy had said to her. This person, as it happens, would be the very first guy that she actually fancied seriously, but he was kind of a flirt. So the scenario goes, the guy is finally professing his love for her:

Guy: So have you thought about it?
Girl: Yes, but I don't think it would be a good idea for the both of us to be together. (This was much much longer, I merely simplified it. LOL)
Guy: But why?
Girl: Come on, seriously, how many girls have you been with, and how many did you actually get into a relationship with, and for how long?
Guy: You're right, but a guy can change. (This sounds familiar. I'd like to believe the same, and I think it CAN happen, but it takes a lot of determination and willpower. aahhahahha)
Girl: Yeah right. A leopard doesn't change its spots.
Guy: Maybe, but the main difference between those girls and you, is that I'm falling in love with you.
Girl: Oh really? And what would you know about that?
Guy: Not much maybe, but I know that I've been with many girls before, but I want you to be the last.

(And this was where she said something that got me thinking.)

Girl thinking to herself: But I wanted to be your first.... As you are mine.

I don't know what happened after that cos I never asked for details, but they never got together. LOL. I don't know why, but it just got me thinking. More often than not, we get caught up in trying to make someone sound like she's the best of the lot, but sometimes it just doesn't work, because she simply doesn't want to be the best. She just wants to be the first, and the only one. That, in itself is a little difficult if you're a magnificent bastard of a flirt I guess. LOLOL.
