So, what am I thinking about right now?
I'm thinking a lot about what it means to be a girlfriend or boyfriend... In the past I've been known to have my potential significant other fill out an application before calling the person a boyfriend or girlfriend. (Yes, seriously.) Is that ridiculous? (Yes, probably) But it makes it very clear what the other person is getting into. (a bowl full of crazy) I have to admit I've recently been called a girlfriend. If I accept, do I have to participate in some sort of binary? If I accept, does that mean I am responsible for feeling a certain way? Does that mean I responsible for feelings? Can one be responsible for feelings? If I accept do I have to stop having incredible sex with my ex? Does the fact that I don't want to mean I am not ready to accept the title? Is "girlfriend" even something you can accept or not accept?
Maybe the only girlfriend I'm ready to be is this one.

I've been noticing recently that its a popular state of being, and that sometimes it just works so great (like, I just recorded for this couple, and he was in the studio & she was upstairs running equipment, and we got to listen over the headphones to how they spoke to each other so compatibly).
But what makes two people fantastic together? Its more than sex, obviously, and more than sharing a shower space, more than liking laughing over deep or inconsequential stuff.
Why would you pair yourself up with one other being (even for a short duration) to the exclusion of others?
Is it to avoid hurting their feelings (because they want to be the only one?) Or getting your own feelings hurt? Could it ever be because your life grinds up against theirs in a way that takes you to places your hadn't expected? Could it be because you long to grind against theirs so that they see themself more clearly? Could having another person searching to know you better make you know yourself better?
Can relationships ever clarify us as individuals?
Don't I just feel like Carrie on Sex and the City typing away about relationships, though I have no romantic ones of my own.
This is Melinda, by the way.
Prove it?
Ew, pink pants on a bird.
