- I keep trying to make relationships happen; they don't. I also continue to
- wait for one to drop out of the sky, just in case my efforts fail; one
- doesn't. Therefore, relationships don't exist. QED.

- Dontcha just love this rationality stuff! ;-) ;-) ;-)
-
- Ok, what I really think is that all my reasoning tells me you're right --
- relationships are made, not 'just happen'.
-
- I *really* want to believe this, I really do. Everything tells me you're
- right. The net, logic, everything. (:-)) However, how come the only
- serious relationship I had 'just happened' when I didn't even like the
- woman initially; and the same goes for my parents. And millions of others.
-
- Weird strangeness, man... Could be just that we're wrong -- or that we're
- right *sometimes* and sometimes not. Yeh, that sounds like the ticket!
