i've got this thing about names. mike, ryan, jake, alex, james, john.. j-names in particular. i've known too many of them to completely trust them at first. i've had too many unpleasant experiences with boys of these names. somehow they seem to be everywhere though. for example, i've got three jakes in my life at the moment. one is the jake i dated. kind of a pushover really, too wishy washy. the second is panty jake, a real ladies man. he's a bit of a jerk sometimes, but that just makes his sweet and considerate moments more attractive. the third is the jake i hated for a while. he pretty much just made some stupid jokes that i found sexist and misogynistic. however he's been pretty cool lately. i've had little inklings of feelings for each of them, but i know they're each bad for me in their own ways. jake i dated is someone i can't really respect, someone too easy to control. panty jake is too charismatic, to easy to be manipulated by. someone who wouldn't love me back. a real heart breaker. other jake.. once again, manipulate-able. still, at three am, when i'm lonely or bored, i still find myself texting them. like chocolate cake, you know it's not good for you, but it's still a comfort to have. either way, from the moment i hear someone's name, i have a small idea of what type of person they are; and most of the time, i'm right. james is an asshole, mike's a good friend but a bad boyfriend, jake should be avoided, ryan is in his own world, alex is a bit of a dick, ashley is a little two faced, britney is annoying/bitchy. sometimes people can redeem themselves, but just like every other stereotype,, that's my first impression.
