I feel bad about how I'm not liking the fact that JenMo and Jesse Spencer got engaged. Because I know that I'm mostly thinking about the characters and how I really dislike Cameron/Chase. But the thing is, my dislike for Cameron/Chase stems mostly from the fact that I don't like Jesse. He's always seemed to me to be very pretentious and self-righteous. Of course, that's only what's been presented in interviews, meaning not entirely accurate, necessarily. Still, though. Everybody on the House boards is like "Yay JenMo and Jesse!" (except they don't call her JenMo, because that was a me thing) and I'm like "err, if it makes them happy, I suppose. . . ."

But I am a horrid bitch when it comes to real-life relationships. I prefer fiction. I enjoy it when I see two people breaking up in the hallway. I like watching their reactions, to see how people respond to something that's stressful and sad for them; the ending of something that they've put work and effort into. That's just my analytical people watching coming out, I suppose, but I'm really cynical when it comes to love. Especially between young people. As in, I don't so much believe in it. I enjoy it in fiction, I'm all "Ooh, OTPsoulmatesyay!" but that's fiction. Love, as the feelings that most would define it as, is a trick that nature plays to get us to reproduce, a mingling of biological and evolutionary drive and chemical signals. I don't deny that the feelings exist, and that they're pleasurable (be they romantic or platonic love), but I sort of think they're hollow.

I think that there can be an emotional and intellectual connection, and that's what makes real love. But with these random teenagers at school and such, there's not that. I don't even think you have to have -- to turn it completely in a romantic direction -- the desire to shag each other silly at all. But that's what's considered love, particularly at the young adult stage, and that's why the relationships don't last. Ever wonder why you stay "together" with your best mate a lot longer than with your boy/girlfriend? It's because there's more than a physical attraction.

I dunno. Interpersonal relationships are tricky.

Hee, this went from JenMo/Jesse eww to ragging on teenage love and the reason marriages/relationships fail. Sort of. Yay, tangents.

Blah to JMo/Jesse. BLAH TO IT I SAY.

It's funny, I just came home from my friend's place where there was teenage love for everyone. Except you know, me. It was like a zoo or something.
And then I saw your entry and giggled when you said the stuff about relationships failing. Because it's so true.
The reason why I don't really bother with relationships. I just hit on everyone.

Blah to JMo/Jesse. BLAH TO IT I SAY.

She's so giggly and bubbly and fun, and (particularly in the E! after Globes interview that I just watched) he's just standing there like "Umm, huh?" HE'S NOT EVEN THAT GOOD LOOKING! I used to think he was somewhat cute, but def. not at all anymore.

Urgh. Most of my friends are teenageloveless. Except for one, who has a boyfriend, but she's totally level headed about it. It's not all "OMG, Kevin did this and that and this and he's so hot" (though there was a little bit of that, in her own way, back when they first started dating), so it's tolerable. I think I'd kill somebody if they were like that.

It was like a zoo or something.

A petting zoo? LOL.
*shakes head* Bad, dirty joke, Alexandria. Bad. This is what happens when you stay up too late ~~reading slash~~. (Or, you know, looking for it, because like I mentioned a couple of posts back and a couple of posts before that, etc, there's a distinct lack of good Babylon 5 femslash. They had a canon lesbian pairing for gods' sake. WTF?)

I just hit on everyone.

LOL, me so much too. Not if I don't know them well, though, but my friends I'm flirting with all the time.

He was probably stoned.

This is all these people talk about...the whole time said boyfriends aren't there.

I think I'd kill somebody if they were like that.
You don't know how great it would be to just knock them unconscious, or something. They also like to point out the fact that I don't have a boyfriend, so I like to make comments about the fact that I don't actually like boys. Get a clue, thanks.

While all the animals are in heat.

I have to make my own slash :c
Did you get my last comment about the Emily/Gillian fic? LJ might have eaten it.
Linkkk. http://thenaughtydingo.livejournal.com/43094.html
Both because I am a whore and because the world needs more random pairings that my brain thinks are hot.
I'm gonna write another one. OTP!

I just realized how odd that sounded.

He was probably stoned.

Yeah. He strikes me as that type.

Hee, knocking unconscious. I've been wanting to practice my suturing anyway, so you knock them out, I'll bring the sutures and needle driver. We'll sow their hands together or something.

And yeah, it's kinda dumb to have a boyfriend when you're not so much into the whole y chromosome thing. None of my friends bug me about that kind of thing, but my councelor at the school tends to ask me what I do on the weekends because she's under the oh so misguided impression that I have no life. I'm like "err, I read. And watch TV, on occasion, but TV tends to suck on the weekends. And get on the computer." And she's like "You don't go out with your friends? I don't see why you wouldn't want to drive," and I'm all "Well, I don't go out with my friends. I don't go anywhere I need driven to overly much save maybe mock trial, for which I have driving friends and work, for which I have driving parents. Not like I date or anything." And she looks at me like 'Yeah, you kinda worry me because you're rather pathetic.' And I'm like "Yeah, I know." Everybody thinks you've got to drive, go to parties on the weekends, and date to be a successful and well adjusted teenager. It's nuts.

Both because I am a whore and because the world needs more random pairings that my brain thinks are hot.

Yes, but you're my whore! *random suggestive attack nuzzle* And hot random pairings are sex.

Not that odd. Slightly. Just a little. But only when I'm really thinking about what that could mean. ;)

That could be entertaining!

I can drive! I mean, not well, but I can still do it.
I don't go to parties and date, though. OH NOES I AM MALADJUSTED AND POSSIBLY NEUROTIC.

Hee! ♥

So can I, I'd wager. Except I haven't been behind the wheel in probably 6 months. So maybe not. I was good at one point, but I quit being legal to drive at the end of July and haven't bothered to go back and get my permit again. As I didn't realize that there was a time limit as to just renewing it, and I only found that out on the last day of said time limit. So I'd have to take the written test all over again, which is killer easy and I took it without ever having looked at the instruction book and didn't miss a single question the first time, but it's a hassle.

Ahh! So am I! OMG.
. . . .
Oh well.
