You are a very thought provoking person.

I know what you mean. Me and my boyfriend have had this discussion many, many times. He won't say "I love you" every day, because he doesn't want it to lose it's meaning. He doesn't want it to turn into an ordinary phrase. Something that is automatic at the end of a phone conversation, or something that has to be said every time one of us is leaving the room, or the house, or the state. It shouldn't be something that you say even when you're just treading water, it should be something that saves you from drowning.

Something extraordinary said every day until it loses meaning, becomes something ordinary. Something once holding up the bottom of an iceberg of a million un-said things, now becomes the punctuation at the end of a sentence. It no longer means everything you mean to me, everything I wish I could say to you all in three little words, it's just something we say to pass the time...

Sad, isn't it?

are you in the navy?

Hahahaha, "kiss my ass you fail!"

I don't know; I think that people possess a tremendous capability for compassion within a certain small sphere-- family or friends or "the team", or "my tribe."

Getting that same sense of concern for strangers would be the key. I just don't think we're wired for it. In order to care about strangers, it does have to be about the "right thing to do," about an outside-in morality.

I don't think people snap out the first chance they get; I think there are violent people who suddenly have whatever societal restraints were on their behavior removed, and they get to escalate up the scale.

Hey, welcome to SGVA I gave you a good word cuz someone said you weren't active enough.
I stick up for my SG friends

I understand the pains of creative writing... I love to write, and I know how it feels to have someone reject a character or story that I've come to know personally.
It's always hard knowing where to start. Generally, I start at th beginning, work on the middle, work on the end, work on the beginning some more... back and forth until it all fits together. I think that's the way to do it
So, when are you going to send me a story or list of characters I can read about?? I'm dying to see

Thanks for the Happy Birthday message...Im trying to keep my chin up.... I would want strippers for my going away party.... but thats just me though

I totally want to read about your character!!! I love to write, and I know what it's like to have to speculate about what the other gender is like. I wanna read!!!

Thanks for the good luck, I'm nervous as hell.

Insight comes at bad times, because only hindsight is 20/20. That's just the way it is. You spend days/hours agonizing over stupid shit, and only find out it's stupid shit after you've had the time to think/agonize over it. It's just the process.

Yes... exactly.

When I go out to party and meet people, I just look to feel "at home". Relaxed, never feeling the need to fill a void in conversation with usueless words, comfortable with whomever I happen to be with.
And some laughs, of course.

I think I would look for someone of course Im attracted to first off, and if we talk.....I would most likely ignore them if their cocky, ignorant, and full of them selves.....I do love the nice guys!!
