another everyday tragedy

[deerincowtown]

I know after not updating for a full week, I should feel obliged to write something mildly interesting. However, I must warn you that this is perhaps the most pointless entry I will ever write. I just want to whine here about my embarrassing day in Shakespeare class. In addition to complete awkwardness in what supposed to be a brief romantic moment

Melanie, the rehearsal process for any play is literally filled to the brim with funny moments like that. When people are trying to work with and make sense out of text like Shakespeare, making innuendos, whether they're intentional or not, can usually lead to a better understanding of what they'll be performing. It's weird, but it happens. Now that you've gone so far as to sound like an Herbal Essence girl, you'll know to hold back a little the next time you do it. So I say be proud to laugh at yourself about the innuendos, you've managed to create several moments that will be fondly remembered once the process is over.

not a prude (and not edited either)

You can't use that word, remember? We were searching for a suitable adjective/noun to describe your outlook, but i believe such a word does not exit. You are simply Melanie- and you define your condition, as no one else bears any resemblance to you in mind or body. Another thing, hearkening back to our discussion- you deemed my interest in you last summer to be inspired purely by physical attraction, and therefore were dissuaded from possibly responding to my advances.

It was your modesty and your apparent innocence that I found so appealing. I would have sought to be your friend regardless of my physical attraction to you. Your beauty complicated things. You were like something out of a fantasy novel or a Shakespeare play- the type

Assume Erin wanted to be with me again. Assume she and Josh fooled around (sexually)(duh). He had many notches on his bedpost, but that obviously didn't matter to her. Because she has devalued what we did together by so redily doing it with someone else, doesn't she no longer deserves me, and if she doesn’t deserve me then isn't it wrong for me to give myself to her. You see how hard it is to find a worthy mate? Settling for less is the only alternative. That's just plain awful. Anyway, my point, stated bluntly, is that it would not be fair to give your virgin self to a non-virgin mate. They take from you and give nothing in exchange. Now, they can be excused if they lost it out of true love, but it would still be a pity to not possess them entirely. Your "duck" philosophy is the most romantic one, but one that denies primal urges entirely. The real problem here, is that sex exists at all. It would still be used for reproduction of course, but if no pleasure was derived from the act the world would be infinitely better. People would

noooooooo!!!!

Sorry about the clone. The first half just screens itself for some reason, unlike the second half...
