Relationships Part 2

I was just reading Jo's blog, which was linked somewhat to Shar's blog, and both of them got me thinking quite a bit. Incidentally, if you made it to my RSS list, you're on my "read every time you update" list, so be very honored indeed:).

I guess today I somehow managed to piss off someone. Is it true that guys and girls can never form close platonic relationships? I used to believe it to be true, but then, does the guy only look for someone who is "Greener", on the other side of the fence? What do the girls think?

There is a huge difference forming friendships when you're single compared to when you're part of a couple. Somehow, you want to form these close relationships with friends that you find interesting, but then, are you supposed to tell your bf/gf about them? I remember I used to think that coupledom is exclusive: it is hard to find mutual friends who don't think they are being lightbulbs. And not finding mutual friends who support both of you is the surest way to disaster.

Which is essentially what I saw happening time and time again. Friends have to accept your half, for better or for worse, and if they don't, life is going to be that much harder. Furthermore, forming close friendships with the opposite sex should not be an issue at all in a relationship, if both parties are honest about the "platonicness" of it.

Sometimes, we do fall for those closest to us; I did before. But then, losing a close friend hurts much more, sometimes, maybe friends should remain friends. After all, you decide if you want to date a person within an hour of meeting them. Usually, after a friendships is forged, it is kinda hard to take the relationship to the next level without it feeling weird.

Maybe I shall try one day. Does any friend of mine wanna date me:)? LOL.

I'm talking cock. Math midterm tomorrow, Liverpool lost, I skipped SOSC to watch Arsenal VS Real Madrid (which arsenal won incidentally), and had a great dinner with the older people. Sometimes, being a 1st year makes you irrelavant in conversations, but then, were friendships ever forged based on something as unimportant as college year? I don't think so.

Somehow, I feel older. More tired. More lethargic. I just want to play the piano, to play jazz, to improvise. Other times, I want to play warcraft 3, to own. Still other times, I get caught up trying to learn the latest philosophical musings of Nietzsche, Rousseau. Whatever it is that defines Chicago students, the easiest word to find is "passion". Forger nerds; they just have a passion for books.

Ahh welll... Long and rambling post, don't realy know where I'm going with this. Haha. Best wishes to you Jo, and Shar as well.
