Ladies and Gentlemen, A Special LpF Report:
Emotions run high as it seems the young lady who has currently caught the eye of the Chief Resident of a specific room in Courson Hall has stated publicly, to friends, that she's not looking for a relationship. This information was passed to this reporter just a short while ago. A wave of confusion washed over the room, as the Chief Resident suddenly wondered what the hell he was thinking in the first place, then wondered whether or not he should continue his efforts, then wondered whether or not to get up in the morning. The Resident discussed the situation with trusted aides (those who were awake at the time), after which he addressed the LiveJournal Nation:
"Well, I really like her. I really really like her. I feel better, more comfortable, and more at ease around her than I have around any girl for some time--possibly since my last girlfriend, four years ago. I'm not ready to let go, but it is quite clear that this will be an uphill climb. I won't be making any overt romantic moves for some time, but I'm certainly going to keep getting to know her. I don't yet know if she's worth fighting for, but I've got to find out. If I give up prematurely, she is nothing more than just another girl in a long chain of unexplored crushes. I'll never forgive myself if I let that happen--I already know she deserves better than to be just another girl."
The Resident paused, tears visible.
"I really saw something. Something real. When she was crouching there, petting that puppy, I leaned against a tree, watched her, and thought to myself, 'This is moment, right now, is a perfect moment.' It was brief, but it was one of those movie-magic moments where, suddenly, time stands still and the world takes on a golden hue. I can't give that up without knowing first that the cause is truly lost. I can't let my heart break until I know that, at the very least, she's not really worth it breaking over."
