Love Rollercoaster

May 2002, Minneapolis- Jay was resfusing to be convinced, even with the combined skills of persuation of both his sisters, to join them on the theme park's funnest : the rollercoaster. He didn't understand what would motivate a person to strap up, hang themselves upside down, scream and be spun round and round at inhuman speeds that can only befuddle the mind and wreak havoc with the senses for 'fun' of all things. Fun, at the time for him, was whiling away the time seperating him from his girlfriend by talking to her online. To which i replied with something i never forgot. Because i mean it on so many levels that i didnt even know then.

'I'd love to love, but since i cant, i ride the rollercoaster instead.'



Simple, spontaneous, sweet... I wish i could write down all the pearls before time swallows them up in a dimension none of us can reach at will.

it's something...............
but to be honest i dont no if i am not getting it straight or do i have a contradiction running in my head here. a contradiction, i think can be sorted by checking the premise or should i say by getting our facts right. in this case the premise is your head, your emotions that unfotunately i cant check without your consent and help. so would you be grateful enough to explain this phrase of your's "i'd love to love, but since i cant, i ride the rollercoster instead."

I thought it rather self explanatory. I'll fill in extra words...

I'd love to be in love at the moment, but since i am not and have not found the one and can't seem to find love, i would like the intensity of the roller coaster ride in its place. Till it happens.

But of course. This is making beauty common
