As I've stated before, I have a unique and rare relationship with my ex's mother. We keep in touch on occasion, she likes to know what's going on in my life, my career, if there are any movies I should recommend for her, etc. Always light hearted and jokey; she's really like a kid herself.
Last night as I was meeting a friend for dinner, I got a text from Andy randomly (she'll do that from time to time):
Andy's text: Hey! Where are all the girls?
So@24's text: Haha. What girls??
Andy's text: Anybody who takes the chance to talk to you or get to know you will see the best things about you. Someone will find out about you even if it isn't happening right away. You will be surprised. You just can't be so shy. Believe me, I know.
It was a really nice text from her and I definitely stopped walking to reread it again. Her and I rarely get into "serious" discussions like this. I think the last semi-serious discussion we got into was about the real meaning of the Beatle's song "Norwegian Wood" (dude, the guy burns the girl's house down at the end because she won't sleep with him).
I wonder what inspired her to write that? Where did it come from?
Sidenote: This entry made me crack up in my little cube today. Can you see where she's talking about me? It should be a pretty easy find.
Your Boy!

Aw, she likes you. (But how could she not?)
I just learned a lot about a song I had never seriously pondered, by the way. Thank you, SO and wikipedia.
That's awesome. What a great lady, to keep caring.
Holy crap what did I miss? Talking about sex, The Giving Tree being about sex, a brain-fuckling package, and a conversation about a guy who burns down a girls flat because she won't have sex.
Someone needs to get laid.
I think you MAY have meant to link to Charming Hedonist on that last part. Because you were totally in the Fireman post today and I laughed my ass off.
GGW- I am going to pepper him with questions the next time you two let him out of the firehouse.
at least you get nice texts from your ex's mom... my ex's mom HATED me... with a passion.
not like she knows how to use a cell phone.
or one of those electronic cards a at a hotel. seriously.
Who hasn't pondered burning down the house of someone who has just spurned your advances?
The real question is how do I get the smell of smoke and gasoline out of my clothes?
I remain on great terms with my ex's family, and I am very happy about that. If you can pull it off, nurture the relationship. There are very few people in this world that you'll ever be able to say, "Hell Ya! What a friend I have" about. An ex's family is no longer required to pretend to like you, so if they keep in touch that's a very genuine thing. I'm stoked for you!
That is so very sweet. You're clearly not just pretending to be a nice guy!
I think she reads your blog! hehe
You're SWIMMING in poon, Mr. 24. It's just a matter of hitting a hot streak, and I think it's coming real soon.
Aww this totally makes me miss my ex's mom. She was (and probably is still) awesome. As was his little sis. But I know it would be way out of line for me to contact them...though the sis did facebook me and tell me they all miss me. HA!
I love how in the interview Paul says "We were just trying to write songs about prostitutes and lesbians, that's all."
Getting nice texts like that can just brighten my day up.
That's funny, she was totally talking about you! Damn, I responded to your comment, and I totally thought I was mid-2008...well, it's not like there are any shoppers today either! Marathon day no 2 anyone? LOL
