What's Love Got To Do With It?

Well, I haven't posted anything since the first post, so today I'm going to talk to you about: Love. Now, the love I'll be talking about is between two people, or interpersonal love.

Honestly, I don't believe in love. Don't ask why, I just don't. [Then again, I'm only in High School, so what the hell do I know?] I do believe, though, that people tend to get hit with sudden [and normally severe] cases of infatuation. The thing that separates the term 'love' from 'like' is most likely the intensity and duration. For example, love is said to last forever. When you like someone, though, it means that those feelings can change at any given time.

Have I ever fallen in love? Well, no. Though, I have been hit with two cases of infatuation. But infatuation, unlike love, tends to wear off after a given amount of time. Now you ask "Well, if you've never been in love or believe, where do you come off preaching about love?" Good question, but my rebuttal is: Everyday examples.

Now for high school love! Well, it seems that being part of a couple is in high demand for high school and even middle school. This saddens me slightly because it shows me that our society is becoming so dependent on the opposite [or same] sex that they yern for a partner at a young age. Honestly, how many middle school couples do you see getting married? I'm pretty sure that none of them do. And if, by some happenstancial chance, they do get married, it would be 1-in-a-1,ooo,ooo,ooo. Even high school couples getting married is hard to see. And if they do get married, they tend to get a divorce several months later.

I will admit, though, that I have actually wanted a boyfriend for a while. Then I got one. Oh my god, he was the cheesiest piece of shit. It was weird because he acted just like those boyfriends in the movies and on the TV shows. Right down to the neglect. He did all the things boyfriends were suppose to do: tell you they loved you, tell you you're beautiful, tell you you're entertaining and funny, and all those other comments. And that's pretty much where all the good things ended. I never got a birthday present from him other then a shitty poem he probably wrote in 5 seconds after he remembered it was my birthday. [Yes, you probably all are saying "What a meany, he wrote you a poem you should be thankful, blah blah blah." I never said I wasn't thankful. I just said it was shitty. D: My god, it was only 5 lines long and there were, like, 3 words on each line.] He never called me unless I brought it up. He forgot my phone number 4-5 times, and he wrote it down twice. He made false promises and broke them all. So typical boyfriend. And we broke up, twice. And after both times, he still tells me he "loves" me. Bullshit. If he "loved" me, then I think he would have tried a little harder. But whatever, I shouldn't be too judgemental. I don't live his life, I shouldn't blame him. Then again, the scars run deeper, but you people don't really need to hear about my emotional shit.

Nowadays, how many couples do you see together for more than 1o years? Older couples do tend to stay together, but for love? I can never really tell. I've never heard an older couple in real life actually tell each other that they love each other. Supposedly, they already understand this, so it does not need to be said. Younger couples tend to tell each other how much love they share almost every waking moment together. But these young couples separate in a matter of years or even months, sometimes even weeks. Now the reason for older couples to stay together is because they have high tolerance and tradition. I grow up in a fairly Asian-based society, so arranged marriages and traditions are held at high standards. Once you're married, you don't leave each other until death does you part. Well, that's nice and all, but even if the couple despise each other, they will always stay together because it is highly looked down on to get a divorce. So, as you can see, there doesn't seem to be any love. But, I suppose, there will be rare occasions where people will get together and stay together under a long duration of infatuation.

So love; alive or dead? Well, who knows. Maybe love does exist, but to me, it does not. Call me an 'emo' or an 'angsty teen', I don't really care. There's my two cents on love.

The Reason I'm Here

Well, the honest reason I decided to come here because Myspace is suddenly flooded by douchebags and Xanga lost all its pazzaz for me. As for Facebook, I have no idea what that is. I'm guessing it's some inbred version of Myspace with an option of cyber-poking.

Well, I'll start off by saying that I'm a female from Hawaii and my age, appearance, and specific information are absolutely irrelevant to this blog. Not until I become completely bored or a sudden case of picture-whoring hits me. >.>'

I'm a complete anime, manga, and game junkie. Yes, I'm an otaku. Fear me. :3

I attempt to draw and color and use Photoshop properly, but I tend to fail. xD

I am Asian, and damn right proud of it. >3<>

I tend to think I'm not judgemental, but hell if I know. xD My self-image sucks beyond all belief. Along with my spelling. Let me warn you before we go on, my spelling SUCKS.

Kay, moving on. I do like to rant, so many of my entries will probably be rants or "bitching sessons". If not, they'll be reveiws or just updates on music or something... Yeah.

OH! I like Starbucks. Frappachinos are the only thing I like from there, though. Besides that, I'd have to say that there is nothing about them that makes them better than any other coffee joint.

I actually used to love coffee to death, but then I was reintroduced to milk tea and I'm in a tea phase. Can't say no to a nice, hot cup of tea. :3

Well, have fun with... reading this. o.o

And may I just end with this note: If you actually read this, I am flattered. But I also think you should get out more. ._.'
