You've all heard it, your all gonna get to it, except for the ocassional asexual freaks. Love. The word that is either beamed at or spit upon.

I myself am at a moot point. I personally (and thankfully) have never fallen so hard that I crashed and burned. I'm very much of a tomboy and I think my parents secretly wonder if I'm a lesbian or not because I'm not growing out of it. To answer that question, no I'm straight. And most of my friends are guys because girls can be such bitches sometimes. Catty and conniving as hell. But I do have a few friends that are girls and through some strange twist of fate they are all very feminine, save for my one neutral and calm friend who I am closer to and she is also very unfeminine. And they are all very prone to crushes, save for her again. Usually they know not to gush about it too much, but occassionally they slip, just like occassionally I smack them on the head. But one of my friends, one in particular has me me wanting to go beyond smacking to downright punching.

See, she likes this guy who she thought liked her. She even went so far as to kiss him, however after a month later he lets her know, "Sorry, I don't like you like that I never really did, can we still be friends?" Of course she's heartbroken and we're protectively pissed and sympathetic. But despite our well-meaning rage, it's nothing compared to her sister who goes to school with us and had to be held back at the sight of him. scream As if to complicate things, another one of the only female friends I have and the most romantic one, is the dude's cousin. So of course she protects him and helps him not seem like such of an a** to our distraught friend. They even do become somewhat tentative friends. The whole time the rest of us are exasperated, but she seemed beyond crying so we let it be.

However he later decides he does like her and starts to woo her, you know the, I'm sorry I really did always care about you, I just never realized it crap. And to our extreme amazement she fell for it. Hard. He started showing up after every one of her classes and she was flattered. And our friend who's related to the b*****d was pleased. The rest of us however were much more cautious. Now, romeo wannabe here is known for stringing along several girls at once. That alone had us on high alert. wahmbulance

Conviently, his cousin never mentioned it. And our friend asked us for our advice. We told her honestly what we thought, very gently and at the time she appeared pensive. But still she's with him. At this point her sister and my dear friend had gotten throughly pissed and starts sending him bodily threateningly e-mails. It scares him off and our love struck friend snaps at her sister and refuses to listen to her. This eventually leads to our overprotective sibling to eventually yell out that he's an a*****e who fools around a lot. This causes sparks to fly between his cousin and her. they still can't talk to each other without there being tension.

And my puppy love indulged friend? Well she ran into the bathroom and burst into tears, giving her sister the cold shoulder and ignoring us. Even though we did not originally particpate in the argument she knows how we fell about a*****e boy. And the only one she listens to is a*****e boy's cousin. Who of course is encouraging her to try one more time.

They have been off again, on again, for several months, a whole semester in fact, and she has cried several times on his account. This has me, along with the only other friend who has managed to remain completely calm and level-headed about this, very exasperated and frustrated. stressed

Her sister however is surprisingly cool about and very much ignoring it. stare She won't admit it, but she's hurt and pissed at a*****e-boys cousin, our tearful friend is still hung up on him cry , a*****e boy's cousin is still defensive of him and supportive razz , my calm friend is hiding her annoyance well neutral , and me?

I've had enough love troubles to last me for years, and they're not even my own! mad So I guess all I can say is I sincerely hope that I am not boing to be that stupidly infactuated or moronically dazzled about any guy.

What have we learned my readers? That love is truly blind. And it can bullshit even the most clearsighted people. Not that crying girl was the msot clearsighted of us. So beware of it or you will fall pray to it and be jsut as moronically stupid about it.

Yeah, love sure as hell didn't run smooth.
