Thinking Tuesday
This is going to be a bit of a deep and meaningful, mostly in the form of questions to ask yourself, as the aftermath of a recent discussion.
Relationships. Yes, those people-bonding 'connections'. Relationships seem to be coming more and more important as 'goals' in our lives. Though to many young people they can be seen as a competition - 'how many girlfriends can you have each month', relationships still have meaning.
What actually is a relationship? A mutual connection between two people who truly care, be honest about their feelings for each other and trust each other (Yes I know there can be 'bad' relationships, but if they're bad, why continue them?)? Or just a simple connection between two people who are just out to have fun together? What do you see in another person? Attractiveness or personality?
A relationship is whatever you want it to be. What do YOU believe a relationship is? When does a friendship become a relationship?
What about sex? How essential is sex in a relationship, is it a be all or end all? Is sex the 'ultimate' way of expressing your deep feelings for someone or just as a 'ritual' done just for the sake of being able to do it, how meaningful is sex to you? What if you're in a relationship, want sex (not just for the fun of it) but your partner doesn't want to? Or just not getting enough out of your relationship but don't want to break it up because you still love them? Would this cause you to cheat? What is you opinion on cheating? In my opinion, cheating is the worst possible thing you could ever do to someone. If you don't like them or want to be with them anymore them break it up before moving on. Two people at once is just selfish.
I hope that has left you thinking about what a relationship really means to you.
Now back to my daily doings.
Sunday was spent mostly, you guessed it, work - fixing broken things, IRCing, eating. After work was some more geocaching around a local reservoir.
Didn't do much on Monday apart from catching up on lost sleep from the night before *glares at unnamed person*.
Today consisted of even more sleep, a Business Management SAC and going to work after school. I left work with a new toy, an ex-Austar mesh antenna, which I plan to modify for wireless networking - stay tuned.
Latest thoughts include the upcoming production, the formal and the above relationship stuff.
Have a nice night.

So that's where last nights conversation came from... I was wondering why you were all of a sudden going all D+M on me...

Keep thinking boy, you'll come up with something soon. I'm not going to comments on much said there for they are questions which relate to every one of us.
