When was the last time you really loved ANYthing?

I mean, I love everything, too, in a generic sort of way, but I can't say I really love anything. All you need is love? Nah, you need something to love, don'tcha? You can love your puppy, your cat, your momma, daddy, girlfriend, boyfriend; but what is it all, really? Isn't it just an excuse to observe yourself from a different point of view, through someone else's eyes? You love doing good things and feeling good, and feeling the warmth of others' appreciation of your love? But, if the love isn't reciprocated, could you continue to love or would you hate, hurt and feel hurt? If you were just a fucking pile of love, it seems like you wouldn't really need to exist. Similarly, when you feel no love, you don't feel like you exist (American Psycho). I don't know why, though. It just seems like a smart thing to say.

What do you know you love for sure that you will never stop loving?

I love something right now. So there you go. I really don't want to, I like to be vicious, mean and manipulative. I really was good at that, now I have no talents at all cos I'm too drippy to be those things.

I have noticed, as the past few years have worn on and I've found myself slipping into a more normalized "working" life, that I haven't loved things as much as I used to. Largely music and books: there was a time when I'd find one of each a month to be utterly taken with, whereas now I frequently just think "This is quite brilliant" and toss it in the pile with everything else. This may just mean that I'm no longer excited by the scenes and trends that previously sustained me, and need to find something new to get into -- but it's still a bit frightening. Equally disturbing is the possible relationship between the above and my new love of the Life Without Buildings material that I've heard. Am I pulling my head inside the shell and retreating to 1987, or is that band really quite refreshing?

When I read Mike's posts about me, I feel like I'm back in 4th grade and the boys who like you all insult you and kick you and punch you.

― Ally, Friday, 27 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(Kicks Ally) The 40 hour a week working week really destroys a person's will to dream, to desire and to have energy to do something besides fall asleep on the couch. Ahh, for college days.

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 27 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I told everyone he liked me.

― Ally, Friday, 27 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was actually not one of those kinds of boys but I did dvelop huge crushers on girls in like 3rd grade .When they would brush up against me I would freeze in terror/hapiness

Nitsuh, would you be able to love music more if you analyzed it less?

― nathalie (nathalie), Saturday, 28 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I love modernity.

― Sterling Clover, Saturday, 28 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Modernity is so passe, Sterling.

― beaudrillard (nathalie), Saturday, 28 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I love being passe.

I am aiming for kitschness.

You have to love something to stop yourself going mad from the daily monotony of living, otherwise you'd just end it all.

Me, I have Kate, obviously. But then there's records, and music, and Strange Fruit, and DJing. Without all that I'd be half a person, I think.

― Paul Strange, Saturday, 28 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i haven't read anyones responses, but this morning i really fell in love with my arse. it was my last body part i needed to fall in love with to be completely narcissistic.

Nathalie:

How did I know someone was going to say that?

Thing is, my level of analysis has been roughly the same since I was 18. Plus, if I didn't think about music now, I'd probably like even less material -- because I wouldn't even be able to get that intellectual/conceptual thrill out of certain things.

I think it comes down to (a) having less time, and (b) having heard more material. (A) in the sense that I'm no longer able to just sit around all day listening to a record and giving it my full attention, and (b) in the sense that once you've been keeping track of things for a while, new developments cease to excite you the way they once did.

Still mystified by the Life Without Buildings thing, though.

I love everything. Especially Mya - "Free".

― Otis Wheeler, Sunday, 29 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I love Paul Strange's elbows.

three months pass...

C.S. Lewis. I'm enchanted by almost every sentence he writes. And sliding around the floor with socks on.

I love coffee. I love playstation. I love entertainment and (believe it or not) thought provoking books and movies.

― Menelaus Darcy, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I loved eating combination fried rice 3 times this week, really cheap, hot and tasty.

today i love my boyfriend's ass, the erik satie cd i nicked and copied from work, talisker whisky, cooking brandy, baking carrot cakes, playing in a kick-ass rock band, my cat, my mum, my brother, cold sunny days in november, the smell of white musk, organic avocadoes, stripey sock and stripey mittens and my huge vegan boots. and y'all of course, natch.

At the moment I love "Harold the Barrel" by Genesis. It's just so . . . prancey. I couldn't stop playing it yesterday. I'll have to revise my opinion of Peter Gabriel.

In Gr 4/5 I set the stage for the rest of my life by sitting beside girls I liked, making friends with them, and secretly pining away.

― sundar subramanian, Saturday, 10 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Everyone should revise their opinions of Peter Gabriel.

I will always love that sudden warmth felt when a bolt of sun that penetrates a barrier through a crack or small chink, reaches skin and casts a radiant whitish glow outward and upward that makes the darkness around it seem relatively, just that much darker.

Hot chocolate is good too.

― Kim, Saturday, 10 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Today, I love talking about star wars.

I liked a cloud I saw earlier. And the lattice fries I had at lunch. And the doughnuts I had at tea.
