Me: "Why is it that there are all these guy songs saying 'I'm sorry I'm such a jerk' and all these girl songs saying 'My boyfriend's a jerk, and I'm leaving" or "...but I still love him" or both?

So this comment is going to sound weird now, but I realized in my replies to you I slipped unconsciously into elitist music jerk mode, and when you first replied back again I was embarrassed that you caught me out, even though you probably didn't realize it. So anyway, I've given the song a fair listen, and it is a pretty sweet song. So thanks for making me stop for a sec. Even if it wasn't your intent.

I don't know if any of that makes sense.

it totally does. And thank you -- I've been doing a whole bunch of listening and talking, and have had that same kind of epiphany, so thank you for being able to say "hey, I was doing this, and I'm sorry." Because it takes much more work to do that than to just let the comment go and slink off embarrassed, with me never knowing. *hugs*
