I Gave Her My Heart and She Gave Me a Pen
Boys Don’t Cry: Babe, I had a Lloyd Dobbler Moment last night.
Am I The IS: You lost your virginity in the back of a car?
Boys Don’t Cry: No. Remember my ex girlfriend? The one I’m still in love with? I got really worked up last night.
Am I The IS: Were you listening to Coldplay? Every bad call I’ve ever made about guys comes from Coldplay… it’s like, unless you’re Gwyneth…
Boys Don’t Cry: No, but I got so worked up that I decided I had to tell her exactly how I feel. So at midnight, I took the train to Brooklyn. It took forever. I walked to her house, it’s like, one in the morning, and I start screaming out her window that I love her.
Am I The IS: Oh my god. With a boombox? Did you hold a boombox over your head?
Boys Don’t Cry: No. Thank god. But she was pissed.
Am I The IS: No kidding.
Boys Don’t Cry: And I’m out there crying. I swear, I never thought I’d be that lame guy… but I’m out there crying telling her I love her.
Am I The IS: And she said…?
Boys Don’t Cry: She said no. Basically, she said no. But I. Feel. Amazing.
Am I The IS: Really?
Boys Don’t Cry: Yeah, cause I realized that maybe she’s not the girl for me, but when I finally fall in love and find the girl for me, I feel like now, I know what I want. Some parts of her, some parts not of her, but… now I know.
Am I The IS: Did she call the cops on you?
Boys Don’t Cry: No. She was really mad, but today she told me that she thought it was cool.
Am I The IS: I think it’s cool too. I mean, I would never want someone to… but yeah. It’s cool. Good story. But you know the sad thing?
Boys Don’t Cry: Huh?
Am I The IS: Most of the girls who read my blog are too young to know what a Lloyd Dobbler moment is.
Boys Don’t Cry: Oh my gosh, you’re right. Whoa. Maybe I should date one of them.
Am I The IS: Don’t push it.

i know im really immature when i a.) do not know who Lloyd Dobler is and b.) get so worked up about cute guys like your friend that i would blind date him without even a picture…IS, you are a bad influence on me! but i love it

i cant decide if its super weird and kinda creepy….or….the cutest thing ive ever heard. Maybe it just that no one does anything nice or cute anymore so i now find it super strange when people do.
And maybe say anything was around before i was, but i know who Lloyd dobler is haha.
