@rahve: well, depends on the meaning of love. if you're talking about romantic love, i think that closeness is attainable by simply hanging out together, but if there's no reciprocation closeness just provokes emotional turmoil. if you're talking about sibling-like love, closeness doesn't even need that much hanging out, and it is an emotional stabilizer, not a bringer of confusion.
talking about lack of stability, it turns out that the fifth pizza was for the boyfriend of one of my mates. 6 o'clock: three people will be watching a movie. 9 o'clock: one of the three will leave to meet her boyfriend. a couple will arrive. so there's going to be one frozen pizza left. 11 o'clock: the couple will leave, and i'll try and make a fool of myself by discussing why i'm the only one in this charade who doesn't have a partner to meet, except it looks different. 12 o'clock: i'll come home and write on this forum that i actually didn't do anything of the sorts because at 11 i believed that it was a bit late and i was intruding on someone's personal space.
