CRFH comments

[bladespark]

For once I have a comment on the current CRFH strip. I'm not putting it on the boards becuase I just don't feel like joining what I'm sure is a heated debate and argument, so I'll just say it here:

I always identified with Dave, rather than with any of the girls. Or at least I always used to. But as the story progressed I found myself being just a touch annoyed with him. Partly it was because he's been a bit spineless at times... but there was more that I coudln't quite pin down. Today, seeing Margaret's calm response to Dave and Blue's apparent situation, it suddenly dawned on me. I've been where Margaret is right now, in almost exactly the same position, and I felt almost exactly the same way! The thing that was annoying me about Dave is that he was acting like a couple of guys that have dated me and refused to leave me alone when I indicated that things wouldn't work. So now, despite the fact that I have no interest in guns (though a healthy fascination with sharp and pointy things) I find I suddenly identify with Margaret.

It's one of the hardest and also most annoying things in the world to have somebody who loves you, and all you can do back is break his heart...

It is hard indeed. Though I don't know who has it worse.

Split it 50/50 and call it even, hrm?

[justplainbob.livejournal.com]

And yes, it's a healthy fascination. Yes, yes indeed. *grin*

but firearms and explosives are more fun (well and you don't the same satsifing thud from a kg of Semtex rigged as a boobytrap

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Heh... but as today's thunderstorm has reminded me, lightning is much more fun than fireworks and explosives. Untill I can play with electric kabooms on God's scale, I don't really have much interest.

*snuzzles*

Sillykitty.

They can make thunder now, ya know.

[justplainbob.livejournal.com]

and lightning, too!

*grin*

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

But will they let me play with it? (And those little lightning globes they have at Spencer's don't count. They're cook but there's no kaboom.)

[justplainbob.livejournal.com]

Well, there is that little problem...

It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

..but that's one thing I never really got about you? Why is it you think love absolutely has to go the route of marriage?

There are many people whom I love (yes, you included), but with whom I know there's no chance of anything ever working in the direction of marriage, or even just sex.

This is not a problem, and I don't feel bad at all that we'll never be together in that way, although my life would be a bit happier if you released me from soome of the foolish promises I made back when I thought otherwise.

Love doesn't automatically equal a physical relationship, nor does it mean that I'm hurt because you don't return the feeling.

I've just realized that I'm rambling in front of everybody, so I'll stop now. But if you read this, think about it for a while, Steph. There are many kinds of love, and most of not only don't require a physical relationship, but the love would be damaged if it ever became physical.

...

And I'm not just saying that because my wife has been known to check up on what I'm doing, either. ;)

It doesn't, of course. And there are people I could name who I love in a non-marrying way. (Heck, I'll name one. It'll probably make you blush, but I love ya' Bob. Lots.)

But you're not one of them.

And I don't hold you to any promises made. Things have changed enough that you don't need to feel obligated to me in any way about anything.

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

[justplainbob.livejournal.com]

Yup - that did the trick.

*blush*

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Awww... you're cute when you blush. *cheeksmooches*

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

*blushesmore*

Aiee! The buuuurn...but the distracting!

*brainmelts*

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

*evil grin* Ah, but that's half the point. He he. Distracting and melting the brains of the male of the species is so much fun! Why do you think I enjoy BC so much?

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

[justplainbob.livejournal.com]

*shiftyeyes*

Conversely, melting the brains of the female of the species with footrubs is just as amusing...

*grin*

...that, and I thought you enjoyed BC because that way, you could finally get that footrub(s) I owed ya. :p

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Yes... there is that. And incidentally, how long did it take you to owe me a backrub once you'd given me said footrub?

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

[justplainbob.livejournal.com]

I think it was about eight hours later...

...I don't remember the exact time, though, I was being distracting...

*grin*

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

He he he. Yes, you do it so well too.

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

[justplainbob.livejournal.com]

I shall, of course, not comment on the distraction, or my skills at being distracting...

*grin*

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

You know I can't help but wonder what siece is going to think of all this once he gets around to reading it. Here he thought his comment was going up at too late an hour to even be read, and here we are, even later, commenting away. And being very random and silly about it too...

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

[justplainbob.livejournal.com]

Well, I would wonder, but I gave up wondering at the minds of other people when I found the wonder of wondering at my own wondering minds. And it's a wonderful sensation, too. :p

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Wondering mindS?

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

[justplainbob.livejournal.com]

Well, I would wonder about mine, but I seem to have lost it somewhere...

Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Here, you can have one of mine. *shuffles through her mental inventory* I have too many these days. Any particular kind you'd prefer?

(And yep, I think I set a record here. 26 comments now? He he. Nevermind that half of 'em are me, and most of the other half are Bob... still, a record!)
