joni shoots me the look i know so well-the same look she shot me when she dyed her hair red in sixth grade and i unsuccessfully tried to pretend it had come out well ; the same look she shot me when i tried to convince her ( after the first break-up ) that getting back together with ted was n't the best idea ; the same look she shot me when i confessed to her that i was worried i 'd never , ever find a boyfriend who loved me the same way i loved him .
