(no subject)

Yesterday a friend posted a cute not-quite-a-meme: Name the most romantic couple that pops into your mind. My answer was that they all broke up. Sad but true, but not true. So I had dinner with friends last night who are very much coupled and appear to be staying that way. They're also absolutely amazing friends, who inexplicably listen to me. One thing I'm uncompromising on, appropriately, is unconditional love. Everyone has their flaws, and rather than love someone and want to beat the worst out of them, I'm more in the school of wanting even the bad parts to be appreciated on some level (does that explain a lot of my psycho posts?) It's not that you should stop trying to improve or that your friends should hold back if you deserve a smackdown, but for the negative things that you can share or bond on - it brings a real relationship to a higher, more honest, level. I think. I'm hardly the one to judge relationships. Oi. In any case, I think I get that from a select few of my friends, and my god that is important to me. Thanks ya big lugz.

So I do know a couple or two that are inspiring in terms of how long the relationship has gone on, how strong it appears, how genuine it is, how healthy it is for each partner growing individually and as the unit...it's just when I first address the subject the first thing that comes to mind is disaster, and there are a lot of sad things going on right now. Still, they're not, and I should keep a more positive eye on the things that are going right than just adding to the list of what idiotic things I need to not repeat in the future. Isn't seeking the right thing more rewarding than avoiding the wrong?

Love my friends even if I don't understand why they put up with me all the time.

...not that the sexing wouldn't be nice...
Sexing? So, you just make your own verb?
Well yes, adding an -ing makes for some fun verbs.
I see. Well, I think that one might be taken. When in comes to animal care, sexing refers to determining what gender they are. Particularly the young.
Well, yes, I suppose, or perhaps I'm just very thorough!
That would not surprise me one bit...
