it's odd. sometimes i update my journal not so often. other times, i update it every day, and if you're not on your toes, you'll fall behind 
this is one of those everyday sortof times.
so last night i couldn't sleep, so i was thinking about random things. either that or i was thinking about things, so i couldn't sleep. doesn't really matter.
anyway... i have a lot of "online" friends. and i love them to death. i'll be meeting a lot of my sg friends in less than two weeks at prom. haha that's not really the point either. i was contemplating the difference between "online" friends and "real life" friends. it's odd, because i think some people seperate the two to a great extent, while others don't seperate them at all. i'm sure where i really stand. i think maybe i'm somewhere in the middle. i feel like i can and do get to know people online. i genuinely care for a lot of people that i never met, and i'd be there for them at the drop of a hat, and emotion is certainly something that is real. where's the seperation, then? where do you draw the line? at what point does someone cross over from "online" friend status to "real life" friend status? when you meet them? when you talk on the phone? or maybe you don't require either? i dunno. i suppose it all depends on the person. i'd love to know how you guys feel about it
and then, either before or after i was thinking about that (it was a rather long sleepless night) i was making a list in my head about things i want in a relationship. and here's what i came up with (in no particular order): someone who...
--will put up with my rather eclectic, and sometimes admittedly bad, taste in music.
--i can have an intelligent conversation with, as well as talking about completely silly things. but at the same time, nothing needs to be said. there should be the ability to have perfectly comfortable silences.
--brings me flowers every once in awhile. and randomly. not because of a holiday, or to try and make up for something done wrong. that just ruins it.
--will debate with me when we have opposite opinions. i like debating. i hate it when people just say 'well, let's agree to disagree' before talking about it at all.
--can argue without yelling.
--likes to sleep with people. and hold people. particularly me
--can appreciate the attractiveness of somebody else, and let me do the same, but still wants me at the end of the day.
--has one of those big comfy basket chairs. mmmm...(this is not a requirement. just a plus )
--is supportive of my work as a writer.
--likes to read. for fun.
--is my best friend as well as my lover.
--will do fun things like skydive and hike with me. i've never really done either.
...yeah...i'm done now. there are tons more things, but i don't feel like typing anything else out.
current mood: okay/blah
current music: johnny cash--hurt
current...ummm...that's all.
and 
for everybody.

I especially appreciate that debating one... I don't think I could imagine being with someone who doesn't challenge me that way, because I'd probably get bored really fast.
Ironically, it just makes me wanna hit him. Especially because of the way he says it, always with a condescending grin on his face.
He's a good kid, though.
