romantic vs. creepy

So the other day, as we were speeding off to get to work at 8:00 am sharp, we noticed something a little peculiar. There was a boy sitting on the hood of his beat-up bronco just staring at the house right next door to us. We suspect that this boy is the 17 (or 18?) year old neighbor girl's boyfriend (after all, we've seen his bronco before). But the boy wasn't making any effort to knock on the door or really to do anything except sit on the hood of his bronco, smoke a cigarette, and stare at the house. All we could think of was the amazing "Say Anything" scene where John Cusack holds the ghetto blaster pumping "In Your Eyes" hoping that Ione Skye will answer his call. This was nothing like that and yet it was everything like that. So weird.

One other thing - at the encouragement of some friends I was told to try out "The Bachelorette" - holy hilarious and awkward. Why boys think that girls love to be serenaded to is beyond me. But even worse . . .to end a horrible song and then say "pretty intense stuff" so stupid. I had to watch it like three times because it was so ridiculous and awesome.
