TED vs. BARNEY vs. MARSHALL

okay. So lately I've gotten hooked on How I Met Your Mother (has become one of my top shows btw. you should definitely check it out) and a few minutes ago after posting up the sleepy post, I was thinking while I was brushing my teeth. I usually become quite philosophical while brushing my teeth at 12:00 AM in the morning. Anyway. I was thinking about my life, specifically my love life (:O) and SUDDENLY i had this revelation that I could relate to all three of the main guys in How I Met Your Mother! That was definitely one of the defining moments of the day. I will go on to explain my reasoning behind this idea.

SO first off Ted.
Now for those of you who don't watch the show (you're missing out) Ted is the main character who's narrating the story of how he met his wife to his kids (thus the title of the show) so far, the show is about him trying to find the "one", the one woman who would make him happy, satisfied, and in love. So far, he hasn't found the "one" yet. Alot of times during last year/this year (especially this year) a lot of my friends have been getting together with another person and they just seem completely devoted to each other without any sign of their devotion failing anytime soon. They somehow just click and gel with each really well. NOW i know i'm only in high school and I shouldn't be worrying about this stuff, I just wanna see how its like to be with someone who makes you completely comfortable and relaxed and easy to get along with and someone that I can really love. SO far, that person hasn't shown up and probably won't show up until like college and beyond. But still, you never know they might just decide to come out of nowhere and blindside me and knock me out cold. So that's how I relate to Ted.

Barney:
Barney is the guy who only wants to get girls for fun and then just leave them behind. He comes up with all these crazy schemes to pick up chicks and is quite suave if i may say so. :P anyway. I feel like I can be Barney sometimes. Sometimes, I'm just out to have fun. Not to get caught up in some huge mess and have to somehow fix the problem and get myself out ASAP. Now i'm not saying that I just completely desert girls and treat them like trash. But there's been instances where like the instant i take a teensy step further than just having fun, I just get completely annoyed by the person and don't wanna hang out with them anymore, don't wanna look at them. It really bothers me that I behave this way but I guess there's no going around it. It's just how I'm wired I guess. Somehow, I think it's a good thing, not the part where I get disgusted by girls, but I know that this person's not for me and just to have fun with, someone I can be friends with but not much more. So that's how I relate to Barney.

Marshall:
Now Marshall's the guy who's got it all together. He's engaged to the love of his life and he's studying to become a lawyer. Sometimes things just click for me. Things just smooth themselves out and somehow I have no problems in the world. I feel like I can be king of the world and achieve all my goals in a day. There's been girls who I thought were the perfect one and I thought I was in a perfect situation that felt like it was going to last forever. But sadly, nothing lasts forever. Those things turned bad and they weren't the perfect one. So I move on and eventually I know I can actually be like Marshall and have everything set and perfect in my life.

So that's the result of my philosophical toothbrushing. I think of weird things while brushing my teeth but hey! who cares? I think I actually understand myself a little better now :O imagine that! anyhoo. the times really late now and my eyelids feel like they have blow driers have drying them out. So i'm going to be going to bed. I wish you all a very goodnight.
