Lines and Lives

Julia Roberts: "If two people love each other, but they just can't seem to get it together, when do you get to the point where enough is enough?"
Brad Pitt: "Never." (from "The Mexican" an otherwise nameless movie in a sea of films exactly like it.)
Is that true? There is a person in my life with whom I had instant attraction--I mean INSTANT. And the realtionship with him had its ups and downs and twists and turns and ended in a way it shouldn't have. But here it is years later and we haven't seen each other since that breakup, but everytime we talk that attraction is still there--not necessarily the physical but this...this...this thing where we can finish each other's sentences, where somehow across state lines and lives we still get in similar situations, where what we do that we love so much it's rooted in our souls is still the exact same--we seem grown in the same earth. (We are three days apart--I am the older one...) A person who understands who you are when no one is looking. It's refreshing and tumulteous at the same time.~
Well it's allnighter time, hopefully the last of the semester. I'm in my office and I'll probably be here forever. Just realized I have outsmarted my professor and will be able to do a project I procrastinated myself into not doing until now. But it's done!
Thursday brings four classes, the TGIO (and the free beer there), the dinner at the boy's house, then BO 2 night at Emilie's. BO 2 was my first year dorm floor and all us girls are still pretty close, so it's time to celebrate together! I guess I'll sleep sometime after that....
I know I said I'd talk about "40 days..." but I'll get to it, I swear.
