Thanks Eliezer! This is encouraging. I obviously fall into the second
category, with stress on the "I wish I'd thought of that before I got sucked
in!" part. I do what I can but (unfortunately) I am still only human. But at
least I get to blame my DNA for that, right? (ahaha I've been paying attention
;P)
The people who would say "You can't live without love!" might be confused
- perhaps you can't live without love (debatable but whatever) but you CAN
indeed live without sex. As for the whole sex-and-love-are-connected issue, I
won't touch it with a ten foot barge pole.
Speaking of wasted time, I think spongebob squarepants just started...
