Late night rants are... mindless self-indulgence. I do recognize the ability to perform one's duty despite having no attraction for the task as a worthy one. About the love bit, perhaps the use of the word was a little too general because it cannot really apply in some relationships.
-shrug-
Meanwhiles, I've had a request to be "firends". Gosh, that sounds interesting. A firend. Whatever that is. Hey, you, clueless, excitable writer of pick-up messages. While I don't expect you to ply me with multi-syllabic words like "acquaintance", I do at least expect a certain level of ... uhm.. "literacy". Granted, you might've been in such a hurry to send off to me your riveting message that you overlooked the spelling. Still, I would rather prefer it if along with the request to be firends, you at least gave me a winning reason to do so... Examples are as follows:
"...I want to be your friend because I think you're pretty, despite the fact you admitted to being violent and abusive because I welcome being beaten to death by one such as you..."
"...I love Robbie Williams too!..."
"...Wow, I'm a Pratchett fan too... Have you seen his latest book?..."
"... I'm tall, dark, handsome, I drive and I have lots of money I want to give you because I want you to be happy..."
"...I'm an avid bridge player!..."
"...Hey, did you know I've an inferiority complex and will kill myself if you don't reply to me within 24 hrs?..."
"...I bet I'm prettier than you..."
"...I just want to make it to 100 friends..."
"...Hey, it's an honour for YOU to be my friend..."
"...I know Tom Cruise personally..."
See? They don't even have to be good reasons, as long as you DO have a reason. It's not that hard, is it?
Oh wait... MY bad... I did say something along the lines of "If you know my name and I know yours, we can be friends..."
