First off, Bono, your writting is very, very good. I mean, it's good on this board. But there's a different . . . personal feeling from the journal.
Second, do ShekonNeko and Chloris read your journal? If so, that's not a way to solve problems, putting everything in there like that.
ALTHOUGH, I knew a guy that put EVERYTHING in his blog, and it caused 9 out of 10 people to go to him, appologize for making him feel that way, and make the intial effort to fix everything. I never understood why however . . .
ANYway. First off, a short parable, of the Paradox. Last summer I fell in total 100% infatuation with this girl. Like, I've only felt that feeling in my gut, that instant all-of-a-sudden PULL to a girl 2 times in my LIFE before her. One was in 6th grade, one was in 8th. But the strongest was deffinitely the one last summer. I went about 3 years without really LIKING a girl, and then WHAM, this girl that was right in front of me for the past almost-a-year had everything I wanted. Literally, everything. I had made a list of the ideal qualities in a girlfriend a few weeks prior to the awakening of mine, and she fit every category, except that she didn't have blue eyes, and that she didn't feel the same about me. Seriously, EVERY OTHER CATEGORY. There were a TON of categories. Everything form appearance to personality to open-minded ness to certian views to previous experiences . . . crazy shit man.
ANYway, I liked her more than I ever liked a girl previous or since. Problem? 5 days later (Literally 4 days and about 20 hours later. I exaggerate not.) I discovered that her best friend felt the same about me.
BEST best friend.
As in the type of friend that you would never betray even if you for some devil-hates-you-reason that you don't see them for 10 years or more.
I couldn't believe it. First time I had an actual target in 3 years and the girls best friend liked me, thus killing all my chances.
However, pay attention to all that comes next. Bono, a little-known secret of relationships is that if one party isn't happy, both will become not happy. Bear with me. I broke up with my first girlfriend (the best-friend in the story above. Guess I'm not good at sticking with my initial feelings . . . ) because she liked me more than I liked her. How is this a problem? Problem is it was setting her up for a HUGE fall. And whether she realized it at the time, realized it by now, or never realizes it at all, by me hurting her when I did, I prevented her from getting hurt a LOT worse later on.
In relationships, you HAVE to be selfish. Because only when you're selfish and it corresponds with what the other person wants, only THEN will there be bliss.
You need to BACK THE HELL AWAY, look at the girls, stop THINKING, and listen to both your heart and your gut. Don't look at the past, don't let trivial things be an issue. Sit down, close your eyes, and try to listen to your GUT instinct on who you would be more happy with. If there is no clear answer, go with neither, otherwise, go with the one that you feel most pulled towards.
I'm dead, dead serious when I say that if you let them pull you around, you'll only hurt both of them. The best thing for you to do is to go for what you want. End. It's best for all parties involved.
The paragraph directly above is most important. Only by helping yourself will you help all.
End. _________________ anime is teh s uck

he is right, just let your feelings out and follow what feels right.
My senior prom i went with my best friend who i was crushing on, and while there angela asked me back out. But I didn't know what to do since i'd been supressing my feelings for angela completely, but talking with my best friend over the next few days i realizedmy feelings and who i was meant to be with _________________ The problem with America is stupidity.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the input. By the way, I haven't told 'Chloris' about the diary because I want these issues to be worked out in it beforehand. One of the reasons I started that thing was so that I could be an 'open book' of sorts to certain friends of mine. Unfortunately, sometimes I should keep my mouth shut to certain people, even though I'm sure 'Chloris' wouldn't deject me for it, it seems unfair to ShikonNeko for now.
Technically, yes, Aolus and Aurora would be an improper pair. I use Aurora because my mom, for a very long time, used it as a screenname. Their last son was the one that's usually listed last in databases about roman/greek gods. And surely you can find the name for the Roman equivelant to Podarge. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

Podarge was one of the 3 harpies, Celaeno. Cealeno being Zephyrus'slover
mixed signals i suppose...
Eos, (Aurora) was a daughter of Titans, Theia and Hyperion. Helios (sun) and Selene (moon) were her brother and sister, while she herself was a personification of the dawn of the morning. A fresh wind was felt at her approach, the morning star Eosphorus (Greek), Lucifer (Roman), still lingered in the sky, and beacuse the ruddy beams appeared like outspread fingers, she was called "rosy-fingered Morn." The star and the winds of the morning, Zephyr, Boreas, Notos, and Euros, were her offspring by the Astraeus (Starry), the Titan of starlight.
SO what is th bono to do? _________________ The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Hmm... all my sources say Podarge was specifically one of Zephyrus's lovers. At least there are few arguments that Podarge and Sabra are equivelants. Aeolus and Astraeus seem to be different spins on the same god (and I think they may both be Greek, even). _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

Could you or someone else write this out in terms that are more easily understanable to the (un)common guy? Because it sounds a lot like you're talking in one of the following languages: Myth, Greek, Swahili, Ebonics, or Xpltgthgr-ese.

Man, I been having really mixed feeling about my realtionship with my GF lately, past 2 months.
We've been together for approximately 3 years, and I'm starting to have doubts as the whether I should pursue this relationship further, cause I feel a little bit trapped in it. I mean I have a great friendship with my gf and she been a big part of my life, I mean we've grown up a lot together.
But my gut tells me I should pursue something else, maybe no gf at all. I don't feel the same as I used to, about a year ago, my feelings were totally different than they are now. It's like there's nothing new between us, and I feel a little bit bored or something. I know she feels really really strongly about me, like "forever" strongly. And I'm not sure if I feel the same. I know that if I were to break up with her, she would be devastated, I'm good frineds with her family and such, and we share a lot of the same friends, so birthdays and gatherings would end up being akward. I no longer feel the strong urge to call her as much I used to. When I see her one day, I don't really feel like hanging out with her the next. I don't know how my likfe would be without her, but i'm afraid I woldn't knwo how to keep our relationship "just friendly."
I really need some input from you guys here, I don't know what to do people!

They are both greek, its just Aurora who was Roman, the greek equivalent being Eos. Podarge was another name for Cealano who was in fact Zephyris's lover _________________ The problem with America is stupidity.

Goldfinger, perhaps you should make her want to break up with you. There are probably various things you could do. Chief among them is to act like a total ass and become a horrible human being. You should start farting more often, not just with her, but in public situations with her and her family. You should litter public parks and leave your house and bedroom a mess. You should laugh derisively after making hurtful remarks.
In short, you should act like any of TV's memorable assholes: like Master Shake or Cartman. _________________ Able and Baker is nice.

hehe, doable, but i don't think it's the way to go.
And she won't want to break up with me, kill me maybe, but not break up.
The things is, it's weird, sometimes I feel totally fine and sometimes I feel totally sick by it. Like right now I'm fine, but sometime tomorrow I'll be annoyed.
Anyone gone through this?

Okay, ShikonNeko == Girl who really liked me (returns true), but never managed to pick up on the hints that I really liked her (actually, I never picked up her interest in me). Fun thing about ShikonNeko, she has a boyfriend, and is firmly certain that her boyfriend is going to leave her... eventually. And of course, she wants me to be her certain backup (yes, that's a bit selfish, but I'd actually consider it, if it weren't for...) Jamie (LittleLovelyGirl, Chloris) was introduced to me a bit over a week ago. We were set up by my friend, Richard. We are most deffinately at this time 'an item'.
By the tone of this post, you've probably decided which decision I've come to.
Anyway, more later. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

John I dont see you and Jamie as an Item... Your not making any moves, And you dont unless she makes it painfully obvious.

John, from what you just said, I get the feeling you're also trying to tell us that the "drama" never ends, even after high school. Right? Because, despite this being interesting (serious about that. no idea why, but people and their personal lives are interesting to hear about. which is a scary thought if you really think about it. ), it's really starting to remind me of incidents that have been witnessed during the past four years and incidents that have been discussed on this and other forums. Ones that didn't end well. _________________ Ice cream has this erotic sense to it- kinda like the one choclate and strawberries have.
