I came across this blog entry of mine that had never been posted. It was written back in March of 2006. I regulary pay a cross country visit to another blog. This was the results from one of those silly online tests. I had posted the results in the comments of that blog. The following is the discussion following that comment. I find the discussion very interesting in light of resent events in my life.
... Awesome. So, what do you think? Would you say that describes you?
Kelly said... There are a number of things that strike as 'sooo true'.
unconventional: ya...I wear paperclips for earrings and um...pink tennis shoes.
Many of the things I do often look like they are self serving...perhaps they are...but I do them because I want to help someone. Then we get into the whole idea of helping others for no other reason than to make them happy...but then...that makes me happy...so it benefits me...so where's my motivation? Would I help them if they were my enemy? still the idea...if I help my enemy wouldn't that have the possiblity of turning them into a friend or at least not as much of an enemy.
as one of our favorite comedians, emo philips would say, "iiiii'm a good lover...i bet!"
i do believe their are different types of lovers and depending upon the intensity of the loving, will show itself in differing ways - if that makes any sense at all.
perhaps we should call farmer in on this?
I think this definition of "Lover" is the type that puts all the emotion into it...good or bad.
It makes losing a friend rather heart wrenching...not a good thing.
On some level...that's sorta deep.
wow....guess that was a "show-stopper."
People got distracted by other posts, I guess.
and a spelling correction for me - "there" not "their"! jeesh.
