Well, I'm gonna have to go with the 'tis better to have loved and lost than to never to have loved at all' cliche. Though I admit, at 17, I havent done any of that love business in the opposite gender sense.
But still, I am well aware by this point that, as Mal sayeth about spaceships, I say about life, love is what keeps us all flying. Because it aint rational, cause thats what we all want, cause rational is boring. Gotta have love. Love of projects, love of other folk, (platonic be damned, it's still love) even if you dont go for the courtship rituals, humans run on love. Or, oftentimes the lack thereof. It's basically our motivation for everything.
Ok, that was as sappy and opinionated as I get.
Discuss.

Love does not suck. Losing it is what sucks. Losing love sucks a lot. But losing love would not suck if the love itself sucked. It would not suck to lose something that sucks; what sucks is losing something wonderful.
(Do I have a record now for how many times one can say "sucks" in one paragraph?)
I also agree with Whitefall that love keeps us flying. If you love nothing, you have nothing to pursue; nothing to live for.

Well...Can one have sexual tension over the net? Well, obviously a bit, and yet you can't really tell if there's real chemistry until meeting someone in person. Can you?
I dunno; what do y'all think?

Hey, why do I have to do all the driving? That's a hell of a trip for someone making a measly $7.50 an hour.
Stupid job.

So...make him drive then. Or meet halfway. (That would be New Mexico, right? My US geography is a bit hazy...) Mebbe there are Browncoats could offer you halfway houses.
A Firefly roadtrip.

Morning, all! Just here for a bit...need a break from sewing.
BSC, I will get those pictures up soon.
Love itself does not suck. Unrequited love, however, is the worst thing in the world. Not sure if that is what you are going through right now, but if it is, you have my understanding.
Ok, back to breakfast, then sewing once again. I will probably be back sometime today.
PR, I think meeting halfway would be good!

I was just teasing.
Morning all. Are we pondering something? If so, I missed it.

Actually might be right on the border of Texas, or somewhere in the panhandle of Oklahoma. New Mexico is right next to Texas.
Actually, maybe in the corner of NM...
I don't know, I'd have to see how far it was from Loveland to Dallas.
Firefly road trip! That would be shiny! (Please hire me, Norlarco, please hire me, please!)

I, too, have done the unrequited bit. I pined over this 
for several years. I would ask her out every once in a while, and just when I was ready to leave it and move on, she would call me, we would go out, and I would be back in my holding pattern. I was young and naive, and I really hate her now, not for using me for free food, concert tickets, etc., but for wasting time that I could have spent with someone who cared about me. That is time I won't get back, and I hope that kharma kicks her in the head for it.
Wow, I feel better now.
So who is he?
He's my husband.
Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!
