This site makes me very, very happy. Math as music, snagged from rosefox. Mmm... the sheer tastyness!

Seems that while *I* am accepting of the friendship lost, my dreams are not. They keep trying to tell me that he'll be back, and that he just needs to figure some stuff out. True though that may possibly be, the sheer *sad* that I am when I wake up from them isn't fun. Stupid dreams.

ladytabitha has a wonderful post about gay marriage, which she apparently got from somewhere else.

xiphias posted about bird intelligence. I especially liked the bits about cell phones at the end. Heh. Silly humans!

Well,, it's not just you. And there are degrees of it.

I was merely trying to explain the concept of beauty as sometimes painful, and how that can be a pleasant kind of pain. In my effort to explain the general idea, I used strong terms, but as with any feeling, it can be anything from barely there to overwhelming.

In your case, it's mild but noticeable. I mean, ultimately, I don't even know you, and I have only seen a few tiny pictures of you. Mild but noticeable is doing pretty good, considering.

And I wasn't implying that you, (or anyone else to whom the feeling applies, and there are many), were even conscious of it, let alone wanting to seem unapproachable. Unapproachble is a word that carries nuance of snobbery, and I'd hesitate to apply it to anyone without being very sure I knew them. My meaning in my explanation was that there is a seperation between observer and subject that creates a dynamic tension, a relationship centered on the act of observation. This is typically called "art".
