Come out swinging

I'm still trying to feel out exactly what it is I want to say, and how I want to say it. At what point of disclosure does one become self-absorbed?

In answer to your question, yes it is. I believe there are many different kinds of love, from friendship to being in love.

I mean, I love a lot of people I wouldn't want to fuck. Wow, that didn't sound right. I'll shut up now.

[chris_o_donnell]

Good. I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that. I'm actually starting to believe it now.

But do you fuck a lot of people you don't love? I think that's a more telling question.

[elliott_smith]

I've fucked a lot of people I wasn't in love with. But I've never fucked anyone I didn't at least have feelings for, if nothing more than friendship.

I can't sleep with someone based only on attraction. There has to be some kind of feeling there. Well, I shouldn't say that. I did fuck someone I was nothing more than attracted to. Once. Recently. And I regret it.

*sigh* Relationships seem to be impossible for me though. I think the best relationship I have is with my guitar. Never cheats, never lies and is always an inspiration. If I could find a person like that, I'd consider myself lucky.

[chris_o_donnell]

I'm the same way. I just have never been able to prevent myself from feeling some sort of attachment, even if the relationship started as purely physical. Almost like the physical part created the bond in the first place.

I'm sorry to hear that. I know that type of situation, and the only thing that's keeping me from making it happen now is my awareness of where those type of things go.

Hahaha. My best relationship at the moment would have to be with my kids. If they get out of hand, I can always make them take "time out" until things are better again.

[elliott_smith]

I usually don't find myself attracted to someone from a purely physical point of view. It takes more than that to get me interested most of the time .... however, I have been known to make mistakes on occasion. Fortunately the situation that was created seems to have been remedied at this point. *smiles*

It's great that you have such a good relationship with your children. There are far too many people who don't have that kind of closeness with their kids.

[chris_o_donnell]

I usually am not either, attracted to someone for pure physical reasons, I mean. There are definitely some exceptions to the rule, but usually it's the mind and the heart and the laugh that attracts my attention. People I want to sleep with on first sight are usually just that...fantasies.

My kids are my life. I'm going to miss them when filming starts.
