Certain Songs

Ah, star crossed lovers...luckily for this pair one of them is in an open marriage. Something tells me he posts on craigslist A LOT!!! The musical portion of today's entry is the New Pornographers 'Challengers'...I read this on CL and my mind went right to the line "You live with someone, I live with somebody too..."

Frankenberry - m4w - 29

Yesterday we talked about your love of Frankenberry, while your hat kept falling over your eyes. I know you have a boyfriend, and you know I'm married, but I'm allowed to see other people, and would like to see you if you're interested at all...

Challengers

Wow...almost 10yrs on and our hero is still carrying a torch for his missed connection...I feel his pain though, the 'right girl at the wrong time' has been a recurring motif in my life. Best of luck my friend...I am keeping my fingers crossed for a happy ending :-)

Jerrilyn, a Missed Connection in 1999 - m4w

Jerrilyn,

1998-99: I was in LA on a consulting assignment, and bought something in your shop. You'll remember me as dark-haired, moustached and tall. We talked, went to dinner and even though I was involved with someone else in another city, we became close until just before I left town in early 1999.

There isn't a day that goes by without my thinking of you, your elegance, your wonderful mind, your amazing smile, and what a fool I was not to stay here with you. I'm finally back in LA, but your store is gone, and I haven't been able to find you.

Should you see this, and if you'll accept my apology, I'd welcome the chance to begin again.

P/

P.S. And so I'll know it's you:
1) Where did you spend New Years Eve without me in 1998?
2) What was the name of your shop, what street was it on and what did you sell?
3) What was the last thing you said to me in our last telephone conversation?

Upon reading this post, the New Pornographers 'Challengers' sprang to mind...or at least one specific lyric did...so I am going to go with that as my musical selection...

'you live with someone...i live with somebody too'
