Argh, poor Jack! Sarah, she just makes me go "grrr", while Cassidy puzzles me - as does Juliet- and I love Gabriella, but I guess that's the hotness factor. I don't understand Sarah, and I don't mean that on the "how she could cheat when she's got such a husband" way. I just don't understand where she's coming from, why she acts the way she does. Lost writers, it's your fault once again.

The opposite of love is indifference.

Interesting. I'm used to the whole hatred being the opposite of love thing, but I can see your point. It's more of a triangle, isn't it? From love to hatred to indiference and then you love someone again, or fall back to hatred, or never care about anyone anymore.

...I started that Jack/Sawyer construction worker fic last night! Already wrote three pages. I must be crazy. But I couldn't stop myself!

Ha! Did I ever tell you I worked something like six months in construction? I'm pretty sure that the system is fairly different in the US, so I doubt I be the effective technical consultant that I'd like to be. I'm so looking forward to this fic. :)

Hee, I've worked as a roofer during the summers for years, my dad runs a roofing company. He's a cop too...roofs during the day, cop at night...sleeps for a millisecond. I wonder where I get it from... Anyway, point is, it's a world I know really well so I have to wonder why I haven't written this before!

The opposite of love is indifference is a saying that I've heard often, perhaps it's just a U.S. thing. I guess it's just that to hate someone, you still have to feel something very strongly about them. Indifference, truly not giving a shit, seems more the direct opposite of loving someone.

Sarah's a whore. That's where she's coming from. lol. but no, seriously, I think she resents Jack for not being what she wanted him to be and if she doesn't blame him for what happened, she'll have to blame herself, and she's too weak to admit she's the one at fault. She'd rather put it all on him. Like I said. Whore. Or wench. Take your pick. ;)

Thanks for reading and for the fb! *loves*
