Just had a very interesting conversation with a guy about Friends, Sex, Love, and everything inbetween...  ^_^;;  It was quite... interesting. It's conversations like that which remind me that, though I'm not quite as innocent as I pretend, I want to be.

Just a few quotes and comments, mostly things which I felt said something about me.
A lot of it you probably already know, but the conversation was worth recording -- sadly, like a stupid with which I am, I closed Trillian before saving the IM. Damnable.

---

Me: "I think a girlfriend should pretty much just be a best friend who lets you kiss her. That's about it."

Anyoneofus: "That sounds like a friend with benefits to me."

Me: "-shrugs- There's little difference, I think. One has a title."

---

Anyoneofus: "I'm a firm believer in the "you don't shit in your own backyard." You don't want to lose a friend, but eventually you will lose a girlfriend."

Me: "Yeah, that's something I'm afraid of with Claire and I. So far it hasn't happened yet. -phew-"

---

Me: You shouldn't ever feel forced into or out of a relationship -- it's spposed to be a comfort and a support, not a worry. You know what I mean? You should never be afraid of your relationship. Or something.

---

Anyoneofus: I just enjoy giving people pleasure. that's what it comes down to, really.

Me: I like giving people support. Mental, material, emotional -- I'm not a big physical-kinda guy, but sometimes it's the best way to express my affection.

---

Anyoneofus: "There has to be a lot of emotion there. Otherwise I'll just be lured away."

Me: "I'm a big ball of emotion. I'm really just looking for an outlet. In my experience, no one wants my affection."

---

Me: "When I say 'what gay men do is wrong,' I only mean it the same way as I think what straight couples do is wrong. I don't think people should have sex outside of marriage, regardless who you're scrumping with. I can't hold their feelings against them -- it's the same thing girls feel. And I can really sympathize with gay girls. They're all still people."

Anyoneofus: "That actually makes a lot of sense."

---

Me: "I'm a 20 year old virgin. Living proof that it can be done. You're not going to die without sex, and in the end, it'll mean more if you MAKE it mean more. If you save yourself, how much more important is it when you do finally give it?"

---

Me: "I'm the sorta guy who gets a thrill out of a girl laying on his shoulder -- I'll stick to the clean sort of enjoyment, thank you."

---

Me: "It's not about sex. It's about affection. It's about those little things, like holding hands, that no one ever thinks about. Those are the things that really matter, and without them... it doesn't even make much sense.

I think you can make a promise like that to yourself and keep it no matter what your age. ^__^ And hey.... Adnrew LOVES comments. I'll just go ahead and speak for him in saying there's no need for apology. ^__~; Since that's probably what he's going to say anyway.

::smile:: I'm Mel. Nice to meet you. :)

::beams:: hello! im meredith...eew. scratch that...mere. :) same to you! oh! you're the one with the pretty eyes and voice!

[dreamingaloud.livejournal.com]

::dies blushing:: See, that eye & voice thing is just something Andrew says because he knows I turn several amusing shades of red/pink. Don't believe a word of it. ;)

Again - lovely to meet you, Mere. :D

::laughs:: he said you'd blush if i said that! ::grins::

For the record, I told her that AFTER she posted it, not in order to prompt her to say it.  ^_^;;

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

LOL!
And you know what? I was talking with Mere as I read these comments, and as soon as I saw 'pardon me for butting in here' I told her she didn't need to appologize -- she's part of the gang.
...and then I saw Mel's Clairvoiant Post. -giggles- You know me far too well.

Yes, Mel, this is Meredith (she seems to perfer 'Mere' even though she's got a lovely name in it's own right, much like you). She's one of my favorite little cousins, and a lovely little girl. -nods to this-

Mere, this is Mel -- she's one of my best friends, and yes, the one with the pretty eyes and voice. -beams- I don't even know what else to say, but yeah, she's a really awesome friend.

Much love, Melissa!

Ahhh, us girls... we like to have a million names. C'mon, look at Claire. She's like, our queen. ^___^; Besides that, it's really easy to get hooked on a nickname, like Mel or Mere. Soon half the world calls you that and it's all too late to stop the insanity. ;)

::dies from blushing:: I do not have pretty eyes or a pretty voice, Andrew. I just think you like the idea of my blushing bright red and so you say stuff like that. ::laugh:: But hey. It's your journal... say what you will. If I die of blushing, though.... ::shakes head::

LOL I suppose it's a girl thing. -giggles- I'm fine with ONE name, thank you very much (ignore anyone who cites Andy, Steve, Neko-kun, Don Gato, Rolias, or anything else -- they're lying).

LOL! As much fun as is is to imagine Mel blushing, I have SEVERAL dozen pictures here that attest to the beauty of her eyes. -nods- And you do so have a very pretty voice.
-nods to this-

What IS the thing with "Steve", anyway? One of my friends asked me oh so very long ago and I've meant to ask, but it must have slipped my mind. ^__^; ... and you know, I've been called so many things: Mel, Missy, Lissi, Lissa, Melis, Melvis [call me that and DIE!] ... even Tiger, because of my last name. ^__^; Seriously, it's almost weird to hear my actual name sometimes because so few people ever call me "Melissa". One of the girls I was close with in High School started the "Mel" thing and ... well, I can't help what sticks, ya know?

[I just kinda wish there weren't so MANY girls with that bloody nickname. It's MINE! My OWN! My preeeeeccccioooousssss... ^__^;;;

Hmm. Pretty I'm not. But dude, old cam pics make great usericons. Tra la la la la! Thank fuzzy they're all black and white. That way you can't tell it I'm blushing or not. ^__^;

Okay, I've got to get offline before the whole night is gone.

::love!::

LOL 'Steve.' Wow, that's a long story. And, actually, since I'm inclined to do a post on names and their significance to me, I think I'll just do all that t'gether. -nods-
For now, suffice it to say it's quite deliberate when I call you 'Melissa.'

I've actually NEVER known another girl by the name of Mel. I have a cousin Melissa, and I think I've known a few others, but never have they gone as 'Mel.'

-steals icons-
See? Mel's pretty. -nods-
I REALLY like you're fragile icon, by the by. -nods-
I don't have those pics in the ones I've... acquired. They're all color, too, and I'm oh-so enamoured with black and white photos (I have an AWESOME b&w one of my old friend Nancy). If you have one titled "12 ember 10-22-01" though, that's the one on my Refractions CD. I got my brother to gray-scale it, and it looks good, yes. -nods-
