The One With the End of Day 3

Current Mood: Crushed

Let me start this off by saying that for the time being NO ONE is allowed to make jokes. I KNOW that I am a goober. I KNOW that it was a stupid pipedream that never would have ever happened. I KNOW that it's ridiculous that I am actually upset about this.


But, at the moment, I am. So please....hold off on making fun of me at least until tomorrow.






Two days ago, Bethany Joy Lenz got engaged.


I know that you are laughing right now. But, let me tell you something. I have absolutely no idea why, but I am really truly honest-to-goodness crushed. I was gonna write sad or upset, but crushed seems to be the descriptive term most applicable. Stop it! Stop laughing or smirking or whatever you are doing. Truth be told, I keep shaking my head and thinking, "Are you kidding me with this? It was a STUPID celebrity crush! This is absolutely stupid! You canNOT be this upset over something so retarded!"

But I am. Maybe it's because it's late or I have a lot on my mind or...I don't know, but I really feel like someone just broke up with me.

What a sad, pathetic little man I am. I know, I am acknowledging that, for some reason, my head is blowing this way out of proportion...I don't know. I am an idiot.


See...I have been sitting here trying to pretend like this is NOT part of my 30 day experiment, but I know that it is. She is engaged to a member of a band that she loves and I do not. Tonight, I decided to swing by the band's site (which I have only visited once before), when I came across today's post in their journal announcing the engagement.

The very day it is announced, I randomly type in a web address I haven't thought about in months? So, there you go. That's what happened on Day 3.

My crush crushed me.

My quandry is this...Why does a silly crush factor into this experiment?


Well, now that I have had time to sit and think...and write about it, I might be able to answer that. But to do so thoroughly, I must fill you in on some stuff. Namely, what attracted me to Joy in the first place...

See, she is....was....my ideal girl. I thought she was cute from the first episode of One Tree Hill that I watched, but only when read some of her interviews did I really place her on my crush list (I say list...it had one member). She is thoughtful, poised, funny, good-natured, passionate about books and music, and most of all - a Christian. And not just one of those Hollywood Christians. The fact that her character on One Tree Hill remained a virgin until she got married was not a coincidence. Her advice to girls on dating was to remember that they are worth pursuing and to wait for the guy who respects them and wants what is best for them. To go along with Jenn's chilvary post today...she demanded chilvary.

Anyway, my theory is that God wants me to find that person in real life...well, not real life...you know what I mean. And OBVIOUSLY, he does. That's what he wants for all of us. Oh....I am all typed out. I am going to sleep now and hopefully something tomorrow will cheer me up. I know, it's ridiculous that I need cheering up.


And I thought Day 3 was going to end up being boring.


OH! And you'll love this...All of sudden, it's like someone flipped a switch and now I love the band she's marrying into. Their music is really good and I will have to post some when I get the chance. Ridiculous. Just ridiculous.

  • At the very least, God is indeed preparing you for that special woman (even more special than Bethany Joy Lenz? -- Yes! Won't she be incredible??!!) and you for her. Surprise! He has someone in Mind for you, and now you're ready to see her when He brings her into your world.

    As I told you on the phone, your experiment is really about opening your eyes to what He is already about. I won't laugh at you about any of this, only rejoice that you are totally tuned into His activities.

    Crushes hurt. That's why they're not called kisses. But look how much you learned in just one evening.

  • Jason. You are amazing. Somehow I understand right where you are at. Know that God has a women more amazing, more beautiful, more wonderful in store for you. For real. It's hard to look past the moment, and believe that God preparing something better for you. But He is. Trust Him. Have faith for what He is doing. But yes, this moment sucks.

  • Crushes, in general, suck. At least for me they do, which is why I tend to make myself emotionally unavailable.

    I think it is really refreshing for you to open yourself up and let everyone know how you're feeling about this! And I agree with the other two ladies - God has plans for you, and they're going to be grand. It's obvious that he's working in your life right now! So take heart and bask in the knowledge that there is someone totally amazing out there who will make Bethany Joy Lenz pale in comparison. :-)

  • You know, I think it is absolutely amazing how God has placed each of you in my life...well, not drh, she didn't have much choice in the matter. But Suzy, I met you through your sister and you have always been so sweet and funny! Amber, Seth always talked about you far before I ever met you and once I did, I was so glad that he has good taste in friends! And then, or course, there is Canadian Emily. Jus the fact that you are okay with me calling you by your nationality is a testament to you. We haven't ever met! Really, you could be a part of this experiment, because our friendship would definitely make the cut. Thank you all for being so supportive! I am truly impressed! And unbelievably blessed!
