Oh, fuck!

[ZombieNixon]

Now I have to write a paper on the nature of love by Wednesday. x( This is not going to end well. :(

[miss_american_pie]

1. Does it have to be romantic love?

Sorry ZN. :hug:

[ZombieNixon]

3. Platonic Eros, to be exact.

:(

[miss_american_pie]

8. Oh

Sorry. :hug:

[ZombieNixon]

13. Yeah, the worst possible kind for my situation right now.

If only I could do a paper on the laws of irony. :(

:hug:

[Derailer]

33. Why take this so seriously?

Its either repressed man/boy urges or male/female relationships without the fucking

So that puts it somewhere in between Dr. Phil and Jerry Springer

The End

2. Channel your emotion

Let it crystallise into something cold and efficient.

[tjwmason]

4. Best possible idea.

Turn it into something useful.

[ZombieNixon]

5. Like how?

All I can think of now will be mean-spirited bitter rant. :(

[billyskank]

10. Yes, that would probably not get you an A grade

:pals:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. Why not do a mean-spirited, bitter rant?

A sincere rant, at least if it's well-written, might not only get you a good grade, but it might even make you feel a little better.

Love does suck, by the way.

[ZombieNixon]

20. I can write well.

Everyone I've done writing for, teachers, profs, newspaper editors, says so. :shrug: It would be my one strength going into this assignment.

[kedrys]

18. Write that first and get it out of your system

Then write the real paper. :hug:

[Haole Girl]

6. So, I have to ask...

is this going to be your title of your paper, too?

[ZombieNixon]

7. It might well be.

I'm trying very hard to avoid emotion right now, which, when dealing with love, only leaves biology. :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

9. Well fuck

Love is so fucking fickle and unpredictable.

[ZombieNixon]

11. Yeah, tell me about it.

:eyes: :(

[JohnKleeb]

12. I can't tell you anything about love

I've never been in love. I've had physical attraction crushes mostly.

[ZombieNixon]

14. Everything I could tell you about love right now

would make you want to hang yourself or kill small animals. :(

[JohnKleeb]

15. Saying a lot

When I hear about how fucked up relationships get I wonder if its worth it.

[ZombieNixon]

17. So do I.

I used to think so. I used to be sure it was. Honestly, I don't know anymore. :shrug: :(

[JohnKleeb]

19. I don't know

I think its worth it in the end but it just seems so damned hard and frustrating.

[ZombieNixon]

21. Depends on what the end is.

There are a lot more misses than hits. From a statistical point of view it certainly isn't. Unfortunately, love throws statistics out the window. It's sad. Statistics are something I know a lot about. :(

[JohnKleeb]

24. Perhaps so but doesnt everyone always hope they'd be the hit

I hate being alone. Every night is pretty much the same.

[ZombieNixon]

26. Honestly, I don't know how I feel anymore.

This time was bad, I lost a girlfriend and also an eight-year friendship. :(

[JohnKleeb]

29. 8 years wholly crap

Thats a long time. I am sorry man. I can't relate at all but you got my sympathies.

[ZombieNixon]

30. Thanks, dude.

:pals: Don't let it happen to you. :(

[JohnKleeb]

32. No problem

I hope things work out.

[LaraMN]

22. Oh ugh!

What painful irony. :(

[ZombieNixon]

23. Yeah. What's worse is that last night, just before my relationship

got shot to hell, I was musing about how the laws of irony govern the universe. x( Irony, I am become thee. :(

[WritingIsMyReligion]

25. Irony, thy name is ZombieNixon.

Sorry, my friend. :hug:

[ZombieNixon]

27. God hates me.

:(

[WritingIsMyReligion]

28. Naaaaah.

;)

[JohnKleeb]

31. May sound silly but everything happens for a reason

Perhaps it may work out for you best in the long run when you meet someone real special. Sometimes and it sucks but we have to suffer for things to get better.

[Orsino]

34. Then you should probably pick a different title, I'm afraid.

"Ah, Eros" is just more poetic.

:+

[ZombieNixon]

35. Yeah, I agree.

:)

[Deja Q]

36. Does it have to be longer than two words, a comma, and an exclamation mark

:rofl:

[ZombieNixon]

37. Six to eight pages, sadly.

:(

[oxbow]

38. Have you read A Natural History of Love?

By Diane Ackerman...I'm reading it now, and enjoying it thoroughly :)

[ZombieNixon]

39. No, I haven't.

What's it like? Right now it might just make me more depressed. :(

[oxbow]

40. lot's of stuff in it

talks about the love lives of Casanova, Ben Franklin, the Maori tribesmen, and Tristand and Isolde.

talks about aphrodisiacs in different cultures, flirting, the anatomy of a kiss, and the etymology of the words 'c*ck' and 'c*nt.'

It's really all over the place, and while some of it can be depressing (especially when she gets into crimes of passion and stuff) it is also very exhilerating!

Also, it's the next best thing to actually being in love, according to the jacket blurb ;)
