Big Update - Part Two: Romance, Sex, and Life

[brother_justice]

So, we revealed that I have been and still am, on occasion, a lying asshole. And I revealed my dirty little sordid past to be true, just more abbreviated, generally speaking. So, let's get down to the nitty gritty for this part.

RomanceI've spent a great deal of time thinking about romance lately. Of course, watching Kevin Smith movies repeatedly

How can you conciously? I don't know if you can. With the right person though you just find yourself missing them over a few hours, being miserable apart for a week, and you kind of fall into a place where its so hard to imagine them not being with you and you still being happy. Maybe some people look for their ideal, me, it was just more someone who could finish my sentences, knew just what to say and what to do, and damn if that wasn't nice.

For some people, its enough to know that, for some, like me, its a matter of honor, or pride I don't know, to honestly truthfully give my word, publically, almost universally, acknowledged, that I am committed to this. I may not know what I will be doing in half hour, or where I'll be tomorrow, but I've made a promise with someone else to say they are more important than my ideals for a half hour or where I'll be tomorrow.

Of course I apply that sort of reasoning, albeit to a lesser extent, with my friends. If the situation arose, there are friends I would not hesitate to publically give my word to be there to support them for as long as they wished it.

Yeah, but there's always going to be that one person who leaves everyone else behind. Me? I found the person who I can spend the rest of my life with. She's not the prettiest in the entire world, she's not the funniest in the entire world, she's not the smartest in the entire world. But hell, I'm none of those things either. That's why we love each other, I think, because we're both flawed.

We are, however, the people who can jump in bed at the end of the day and then talk for another two hours because we just didn't say everything we needed to all at once. We laugh at each other for the stupid stuff. And I'll be damned if I want it any other way.

To both you and Kai and the rest, Eli, I say more power to you. Without at all sounding offensive...how do I put this? It seems like a bit of a plea bargain to me. A sort of early opting out of the whole romantic mess. While I truly want to believe in meeting your True Love!tm as some of you seem to have done, it also seems unworkable. I mean, Christ, my ideal partner would be somewhere along the lines of John Cusack, Kevin Smith, Mickey Rourke, Christopher Walken, Joey Lauren Adams, Janine Garafolo, Sigourney Weaver, and Mira Sorvino. Now I ain't stupid, but that's a bit of a tall order. ;)

So...I just don't quite see how finding someone else and settling with them would work without simply being me settling for less. Then again, using my typical logic, I'm not sure there's much point in even looking. It's been two...no, three years, since I dated or was involved in any real type of relationship. I seem to be getting along okay without it. *shrugs* I don't know if any of that made sense.
