i decline

no, i'm not gay. if i was, i wouldn't have a maiden to worship and adore. in other words, i'm not gay - nor stupid.

i'm currently having trouble on writing a blog whose topic will be so controversial that i am still in debate on whether to post it or not. and, it's still in the draft part, which makes it convey a rather different message.

[EDIT] explanations of blogs gone by

19 comments are the most i've gotten in quite a long time (anyone still remember "are you a shit?"). 19 comments, five of which are written in my own hand, either praising those who side with me or giving a rash rebuttal (one was telling off leiron). two people are telling me that i'm anti-love.

no, i'm not anti-love. i'm very much in love myself. but love's too strong a word, so you suggest a word for it. infatuated? i doubt that.

no, i'm not pessimistic about love right now. i'm feeling rather optimistic myself, and that's just me, really.

what i did in that blog was broke down the concept of the "monthsary" in my own method, and i just finished rereading the facts, so now i've drawn up a conclusion. you are free to argue with me - i love a good argument.

the idea of the monthsary, generally, is to celebrate a relationship that has stood for a month. a month is a relatively short time - 4 weeks or 30 days, at average. but why do you need to celebrate standing long for a month? a year is generally more impressive - for 12 months you've stood. going back, you want to celebrate a month of standing strong? how come? because you're afraid that any minute now, your relationship will crumble and fall apart? you want to celebrate now because you're afraid that you'll be single next month? if you love your partner, will you really doubt the two of you? is that the amount of faith you have in your relationship? i'm telling you, if you believe you and your partner can go the long run, you need not celebrate the "monthsary" because you believe that you can withstand whatever bullshit is thrown between you and your partner. a "monthsary" would be pointless for you because you can go on living with each other's affections for a year.

done. now, your turn. argue with me. come on.
