The People All Call Her "Alaska"
Okay, so this time in the blogspace, I'm wanting conversation and comments from anyone who reads this on this grave and terribly important discussion Mr. J. Ro and I were just having.
What do you think of long-distance relationships?
What experiences have you had or heard of regarding this?
Is it more important for each party to continue dating other people while apart, or to remain "socially celibate"?
And finally, what do YOU think it was I saw in the night sky a week and a half ago?
My own opinion is that long distance dating works more often than people would expect for couples who TRUST one another. This seems to be essential. If this element is present than the issue of dating others is sort of null, wouldn't you say? Granted, I've never had a long-distance relationship (let alone dated anyone longer than a month). I suppose I'm more optimistic in regards to it than others. As for the light in the sky, I've decided it was some sort of flying machine. Yep, that's my stance. Whether it was terrestrial or extra, I couldn't say. But it was most definitely mechanical. Hmm.
These are just a few of the topics jeremy and I were talking about on our endeavor to Target just now. Please feel free to voice your...voice on the issue. Also, has anyone tried the Ginger Altoids yet? They're a trip. I think they're more for cleansing the palate versus making one's breath taste fresh-y, though. It seems this entry is an excuse to see if I can get an idea who reads this blog amongst mes familles and mes amis. Still.

Well, I can't claim to have the same vast amount of investment expertise as carlo23barbara, but I can say this: I believe very firmly that if you want something to work, you will find a way to make it work. Because, you see, contrary to what Bono might tell you, people find what they're looking for. They generally either don't want to believe it or don't accept it. Now, this isn't to say that every single person's got their own ideal situation right under their nose without them knowing it. What it is to say is that we spend so much time and energy looking for something that is in all likelihood right around the corner. And if you find it but it has to go somewhere else for a while, so be it. It's just a matter of finding out whether or not you've found what you are looking for. And if you have, I believe the saying is, "Love knows no boundaries."
In general I'm against them. But personally, I married one. It was good for us because we spent a lot of time communicating without distraction. On the other hand, there's so much pining and confusion about whether its "worth it," it lowers your enjoyment. We had decided to date other people, which didn't work out too well. I went to school dances with friends, which were only dates on a technical point of view. In the end, I don't think it's something that can be generalized as good or bad. Each unique person brings something different to the table for each relationship.
