in a nutshell

I have often said that I would rather be blind than deaf. Losing my ability to hear music, losing my ability to sing because I wouldn't be able to hear myself, would be crushing. Music was my chosen major for my brief stint in college.

I also do not believe in soul mates. I think I explained that in another answer.

All that being said however... there is nothing I wouldn't do for someone I loved. Especially keep them from pain. So I swallow the pill. With apple juice, please.

i think you and i are more alike every day, kate.

:)

i'll be in PA around midnight dec. 21.

You got my digits? Or do you need them so we can coordinate? And you still haven't told me what kind of pie.

[lightningspark]

i think i do, yeah. but you may want to email them to me again.

omg there are choices for KIND OF PIE?!

dude, that's cool, i would probably swallow the pill. i think this would only be detrimental to someone who doesn't like Alice in Chains.

but then again, collar bones heal. and just because they're my soul mate doesn't mean they're my lover or they let themself give a shit about me despite being my soul mate or anything like that, so maybe they deserve to have their collar bones broken every three years. the asshole.

[lightningspark]

i think that's a good point. just because this person is a 'soul mate,' that doesn't mean you know them. ;)

I would, totally, because I think I might fall over laughing hearing the soundtrack to Legally Blonde done by Alice in Chains.

"Oh, my god, ohmigod, you guys,
All this week, I've had butterflies,
Every time he looks at me,
It's totally proposalized!
Oh, my god, you guys!"

Come on. That is NEVER not going to be funny.

[dracoreina]

I was debating, but you convinced me....

The RENT soundtrack would be pretty funny too.

[_vitabrevis_]

Would it be like when Alanis did "My Humps"?? Because that was pretty funny. At least, the first time or thirty.

[cheekybaby]

I have never heard that, but I think it might be. :)

I don't know if I can answer this one - I've never heard Alice in Chains (other than, I think, their cameo in Wayne's World). :P

But to the underlying question - could I suffer my true love to be damaged just so I'm not inconvenienced?

I would sincerely hope that I could accept the sacrifice to myself and keep him healthy and whole. I could never stand to see someone I cared for hurt, either directly or indirectly by my actions. I carry enough guilt for having hurt people in the past, and I don't think I could consciously make this choice.

But, I'm not a tame lion human, after all.

[lightningspark]

you're a good lady, lady.

I absolutely couldn't handle it. I don't know how I'd handle the collarbone breaking, but music is my life. Even though I love Alice in Chains.

[lightningspark]

yeah. i think this one is tough.
