Wow, I haven’t updated since my first date with Amber. No wonder she wants me to update more often. So, let’s begin, shall we

You're a terrible person. Haha. You make me look like such a bitch. Before I even get to meet most of these people.
I guess I'll just have to meet them.. and then they'll KNOW I'm a bitch. Haha. Just joking.

No offense, but shouldn't you be able to make yourself happy? Isn't it an entirely ridiculous notion that you need someone else in your life before you can be happy? In fact, if you are not happy and confident in yourself, a relationship can be a very dangerous thing. You can tie your self-worth and joy into the other person and when/if the relationship ends, you'll feel even worse. A relationship should never "complete" you or define you. A relationship should be a happy bonus to an already good situation.

Just make sure you're doing all of this for the right reasons. Don't delude yourself into feeling things you aren't, don't tell her you love her if you don't (because that just fucking hurts), and don't rush things. It seems like you're already investing an awful lot in a very new relationship. Be careful. Be realistic.

Thus ends the warning from Extra-Caution Girl.

Thanks, Mom.

I never said she "completes" me and I never would. I'm a pretty happy guy, I was just bummed about my love life. I don't need someone else to make my life happy, but she does a damn good job of making me happier

Re: Thanks, Mom.

I think that a relationship making you happy, and it being the only thing that makes you happy is bad news. I think that having a normal life, reasonably happy, but insanely lonely, which makes you unhappy, and then finding someone who makes you not lonely, and therefore improves your whole life is something completely different. Sorry if that seems kind of messed up. You know what I mean.

I dont think that the movie Phantom of the Opera wasnt bad. Yeah, the phantom himself was kind of a weak character, and if you didnt already know what was happening, I can see how someone could become lost. The music, however was fantastic.

Amb is just telling it like it is :P Hehehe. sissssyyyy. J/k

I'm the obligatory buzzkill. I'm used to it. I'm not saying your relationship is wrong - I don't know anything about it except for what I read in this here journal. It merely seems to me that you've been really down on life in general for a while and, wow, suddenly a girl makes it all better.

And hey, if it works, it works.

Christ on a crutch!

You obviously haven't seen the original Phantom of the Opera. Seeing it live, on stage, with great actors and that chandelier crashing down practically on top of your head is surreal. The movie sucked ass in almost every possible way. I knew Webber was a moron, but I didn't realize he was that big of a moron. Gah.

Otherwise, I'm going to have to agree with Miranda; you should never need somone else to make you happy. Caution is not over rated. But, I will add that sometimes everything clicks and you have to be ready, whether or not it happens. It can surprise the fuck out of you.

I think that's it... Oh, and if you want another perspective on the whole Rwanda thing, you might consider reading "Shake hands with the devil" by Lt. Gen. Dallaire, the force commander for UNAMIR. He's Canadian, and an awe inspiring kind of guy. His portrayal in the movie left a lot to be desired and was unrealistic. There, that's definately it.
