a good question...

this is a question i stole from my message board, the DISboards:
Do you say "I love you" too much?

Hmmm. Actually, I'm one of those people who doesn't really. I met someone once who said "I love you" to everyone and about everything. It got weird, and even though it was cute and all, I wondered who and what she ACTUALLY loved. couldn't have been that much.
I also hear people toss around the use of the word love, especially when they're in relationships. that's great and all, I'm happy for you. But when you've been dating someone for less than like, a month, do you really love them? or are you just saying it because you think that would be the right thing to say at the time? I don't know. Personally, I'd want to wait to tell a guy I loved him until i really did love him. call me crazy, I dunno.

On another note, I'm writing a book. This has happened in the past...and hasn't worked out to well. I'd start writing about 10 or so chapters, then have "writer's block" and put it on hold for another 6 months. Then I'd look at it 6 months later, and write so many revisions that I started losing interest. so. that's hopefully not what I'm doing this time. I don't have a title yet, which i think is actually a good start, you know? but from what I have so far, it's about a girl, a high school senior, who seems to have a pretty good and normal life. she's dating a great guy, has a great best friend, and all that. her parents had a messy divorce, but that's the only flaw. so then a big celebrity (think a dude from gossip girl) that the girl idolizes gets sent to this girl's town for rehab. and it turns out he was a kid she absolutely hated at her old camp. anyway, after a series of events, she falls in love with him. i got her boyfriend out the picture by having him cheat on the girl with her best friend. okay, so as you can see, it's a very cliche teenage romance book. but i LOVE those. so why not write one? it's not like i'm going to write a book about stuff i DON'T like or anything. it actuallly gets pretty heavy. it's not exactly all fluff. i'd rate it like, a PG-15 or something. if that's even possible. i started to feel myself getting that "writer's block" again, so I skipped to writing a part in the book that I thought I could to a lot with, technique-wise. then I'll fill in the rest later.
