RE: Head == totally fucked up.
I used to create a lot of random situations in my head. I still do from time to time. Most of them relate to the various hopes, dreams, and aspirations that I have for my life. I think it's a fun to watch the mind go on tangents. When your thoughts slow down, you have the opportunity to distinguish the difference between reality and fantasy. The line can be very hard to draw. Sometimes there's a lot of meaning and reason behind thoughts, and other times it feels (to me anyway) like I'm just obsessed.
** Obsession is my middle name.... although I actually hate that fragrance.... I wear Euphoria, and is in love with Eternity. I find that my mind only goes on tangents on very specific topics, mainly on relationships and what not. But yeah, it's so hard to figure out what is real sometimes, especially since I never have a chance to give my mind a rest. **
RE: I always have somebody with me... killer looks...
Isn't that interesting? My focus still shifts at times, even though I've been in a serious relationship for the last 5 years. I usually solve the problem by thinking... what am I attracted to? A person, or an idea? Through a little analysis, the answer has always been the latter.
** YES! It's totally the idea! There's really no way around it right? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder **
RE: Alpha / Beta
They say opposites attract -- that people share meaning and complement each other. At the same time, I think a starting point is necessary. What would you do with the other person in the short term and the long term? When people have many differences, there can be a lot of emotional and physical attraction. However, the result is usually that there isn't enough "glue" to hold the relationship together, unless at least one person in the relationship is exceptionally compromising.
** That's a pretty funny thing actually. When I'm in a relationship, I am the one that wants to be compromising. I may not like it, but that's what I would end up doing anyway. I may not like losing the control, but I want to figure out what makes him tick. **
RE: My good friend... being lonely
Without the opinion of others, your mind is like an elephant. It's free to run around and cause trouble by blowing things out of proportion and exaggerating the severity of situations. Now if you've gotten accustomed to handling your thoughts in solitude (which I have not!), it's probably much less of an elephant. It's so hard to even consider solitude these days. Movies, TV, iPods, shopping, fashion, friends, acquaintances, random people in your accounting class that comment on your blog...etc -- so many distractions!
** omg you have no idea how much homework I'm suppose to be doing right now..... **
RE: Intellectual guy / idiot girl
I think I get it =) The thought might be appealing to me if I was single. I mean the "idiot girl" would be more likely to offer love, admiration, and respect to me. Now that would probably get boring after three to ten days, which is why I didn't choose to be in that kind of relationship. I'm looking for something more stable than that, but there are many things I've sacrificed in the name of stability. The biggest sacrifice to sum it up... I can't feel like I'm "the shit" anymore, which used to be really important to me.
** Yeah I guess that's it. A sense of superiority can be a good rush, but that's not a good basis for a relationship. **
RE: With the most recent... brain is there...
Are you sure you aren't giving him too much credit? We men aren't always as bright as we act. My .02: expect things to suck. And I don't mean to have a negative attitude in general, or to not believe in him. What I mean is that people have a lot going on, and there's a pretty good chance that there are other girls competing for this man's attention. Now I'm not you, so I haven't seen the whole situation. But I think you should dig in a little bit. Perhaps ask specifically what he thinks would go wrong if you two got together, and suggest that he's not considering what could go "right", that the risk is worth the possible gains, etc (given that you think this is true). I believe that you can voice all of that without coming across as desperate or needy. Put your foot down, look him in the eye, and say it. Then listen intently, and respond with conviction. You know how to do that! =) Even if it seems to make everything go to hell, at least it'll help you move forward. And worst case scenario -- you can always blame me :P
** ooohhhh I am absolutly giving him way too much credit, that I already know. Granted he does have a lot going on in his life that needs to be taken care of. The situation I speak of is an age difference issue. Considering I found out he is now exactly 2/3 my age, and that I am 24. Is this how you spell "statutory"? Well ok, I looked up the laws (seriously), there's no laws against having a meaningful relationship. I just have to stock up on a year and a half worth of batteries is all. **
RE: Fun intellectual assholes...
Many of us crave the fight -- the challenge -- the exhiliration. I have to say that's what led me into my current relationship. I knew she wasn't easy. In fact, I was rejected multiple times before Trisha and I got together. I'm not saying this from experience, but I believe the plus side to the intellectual asshole is that the relationship can be more exciting. There'll be someone to challenge your thoughts, as long as he does it logically, remains "curious", and doesn't get abusive =)
** You have no idea how much I crave a more exciting relationship. In my last one, we were tagged as the old married couple from day one. Seriously. I tried different things, but he just wasn't the type. He's more like the marrying type, whereas I'm still looking for something more wild. I'm finding them backwards I tell you. **
Take care Patricia. Best of luck with finals. Let me know if you'd like to have coffee one day.
** Anytime ^_^ when do you see me without some sort of caffinated drink? **
