QUESTION OF THE DAY!
So uh.
They have a sweet ad on the uh.. LJ login page.
It's for a new movie about vampires.
But the little poll it features seems to have nothing to do with the movie, and alot to do with romantically challenged people (LJ users).
Hahaha....
Anyway, here it is, if you missed it.
(roughly)
Have you ever been so deeply in love that you'd risk everything?
_ I am right now.
_ Yes, once.
_ No, never.
So uh.
I think I'm gonna go with "Yes, once."
I have been so consumed by the love emotion that I have contemplated doing (and possibly did) some irrational things.
(Mind you, I was not "deeply in love" for the whole experience)(love has its crests and troughs ya know)
Wow. That's fucking sad.
On second thought... I'm nostalgic... almost happy.
I'm glad that I experienced love.
Sure, I was hurt... and pretty sour about it for a while... but...
How else would you prepare yourself for "real" or "true love"?
You wouldn't even know what you were experiencing unless you had tasted something similar first... maybe the real thing in a small amount.
Or maybe even two big scoops.
I never felt more alive; I never felt more human.
There is something about love that is really moving.
I feel bad for people who have had more negative and stressful relationships than I.
For so long, I looked back at my love experience with anger and sadness; and given that my relationship was... in comparison to most, rather brief, I can only imagine how people who fell out of longer, more "committmentful" relationships feel about theirs.
Now when I look back, I only think about the happy moments when I was in love.
Not that I'm blacking out the rest... its just that its not really something worth focusing your attention on.
If I want to bring back the bad times... I can. And I'll probably have to at some time or another.
But letting them dominate the experience is a waste.
Why should you dedicate a whole portion of the memories in your life to sadness?
I felt sad.
I felt sadness from the memories.
And I'm done feeling that way.
(Turns out the move is "Blood & Chocolate;" I guess there's some kind of love story involved.
Maybe one lover has to decide between giving up the love of their life or becoming a vampire!
EEK! Boy would that suck! See... my love experience wasn't even half as dramatic as that...)
