Ok--I thought I would pester Adam by waiting a while to post this, but apparently I was bothering others. .. :)
There's an old Meatloaf song from the 90s (yes, back in my day--let the old jokes begin now) that has the line "I would do anything for love, but I won't do that." So, to get you in the mood for The Great Gatsby (don't worry--it's not just a love story!), I'm going to ask the question--what would you do for love? To what lengths would you be willing to go to win the affections of someone?
I want you to really think about this one--it's not as easy as it may seem! :)

Honestly, I have no idea what I would do for love. At this point in time, love is sort of non existent. Fo r my family I would be willing to do almost anything, even possibly die (depending on the situation). If we are talking true, "fairytale" love I would not be willing to do as much, but who am I to speak of true love. At sixteen I don't think that any of us has really experienced that yet. We always see those cheesy movies where people are willing to do just about anything for love. In my opinion, I probably will never get to the mushy gushy level of lets say romeo and juliet, unless I have an insanely severe personality change or truly fall head over heels in love. (None of this will ever happen).
On another topic, I would like to state that this is the very first time I have posted first. . .YAY! Also, Mrs. Svoboda, that is actually a good song. . .:)
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! And just in time for my favorite song!!!
Okay. This is kind of a hard question. I'm going to guess that this means romantic love, not family love yada yada. First-I don't know how many people are age are capable of truly loving someone. Yes, we may have "feelings" of love, but what are they really? And yes, I have spent time thinking about this. I don't know if what we as teenagers would do for "love" would be the same as what someone who is truly in love would do.
Anyway... I don't think that I would ever do anything ridiculous to win the affections of someone. I might try to get their attention, maybe flatter them with compliments, etc, but if they were really not interested, I'd drop it. I wouldn't "fight" for their affections-> they are obviously not interested in me, so why would I want to spend any more time than necessary with them?
Okay. This is a seriuosly awkward question.
One thing that I would not do is change who I am. If a person that I was trying to get to fall for me loved screamo awful music, I would not magically start listining to screamo awful music and pretend to enjoy it. If they listen to something totally amazing, I might pick it up and start listining to it.
Now, if someone was in love with me and I loved him back, there's a lot I would do for him, depending on the strength of the "love" we share. I'd try to do a lot of things to make him happy, even if it causes me not to be happy. Like watch ridiculous, awful movies. Or listen to awful screamo music. I wouldn't lie and say it was amazing, but I would tolerate it, because hopefully in return, the person I love will tolerate things he probably hates to make me happy.
So yeah. Guys-> watch out. Every girl in the class will read yours and judge you from it. No pressure...
oh yes. in response to Maroro's comment-Meatloaf is amazing!
I agree w/ jake on the too young to know and cheesy movies. I think we've all heard me complain about how my parents want me to change so i can have a happy family. We've also heard me complain that I won't give in. Honestly, I'd really like to stay selfish and just go my own way, but who's to say what would happen? I think maybe I'm a coward and I'm afraid of relationships, hence the they tie you down theory. Will I eventually be unselfish enough to try? no idea. I think it's funny and stupid (no offense) to watch kids talk about dates and love in school. No, it really is. Part of me though, want to believe that you can get blinded by love and teenagers can know what it is. The reality would probably be that love = living/dying/suffering with the person, which i'm not sure how many people are willing to do. Quoting Mrs.Ice, (i forgot her exact words though) it's just a electrical impulse. chemical reaction. OH YEA. A great idea would be non-binding relationships...as in no boy/girlfriend screaming at you to be with them more often and yadayada. I see that you are asking for the attraction kinda love (like katelyn said) but once you are in love, don't they all become the same? as in family love and love love. In the end you care for the person and stick by them (under normal circumstances) so it's really just like family love.
I'm pretty sure I'm screwed...Ask me again in like 20 yrs...or more..
I also like katelyn's word "tolerate," but idk how far i'd go...and I really like her warning to guys...then again, how many people really care right now?
ps i'd like to add that in the end, it probably has nothing or very little to do with sex. or physical features..though the initial attraction may depend very much on that.
HMMM. . .who could "this box. . ." be talking about with the screamo and pointless movies. . . I just don't know. :)
When it comes to love I believe it is out there. True love isn't just in the fairy tales. For me loving someone is more than life itself. Though love comes at a price. Giving yourself and heart to another person; risking getting broken. For me I wouldn't do anything for someone just to like me or love me. I wouldn't crawl on my knees to hear a those three words when they are not ment. Love is true it is not earned in anyway it just happens. I would never push myself on someone else....Love happens when it is supposed to not when it is willed or forced. (Edward Cullen and Bella Swan) haha for all those who have read the TWILIGHT SERIES...
When it comes to the word L..O..V..E.. well this is a meaningful word. In my opinion love is not just an off and on again thing. Love is a powerful thing when one finds it. Just because its written in books or so called dream books (tWiLiGhT sErIes :) it does not mean it does not exist. Fairy tell love is out there but not that perfect. Personally I do think "true love" is out there it just happens when you meet your so called "other half" or "match." Length I would go to for love would be my family. Having to put one's heart on the line is a different story. To me I would not change myself just to get someone's attention/ affection. I believe if the person is right for you they will love you for your imperfections.
Hmmmmm marissa, I have no idea. But I'm sure whoever it is would like all information to be kept confiditial...
♥ Katelyn
Let's c...for true, 100%, mushy-gushy, touchy-feely, stay-by-you-forever, no-chance-i'm-ever-leaving-u-cuz-i-love-you-so-gosh-darn-much love I would do almost anything. Including suffering multiple days of searing, internally burning pain to wake up as a sparkly, beautiful, super strong, red-eyed vampire just for that similarly sparkly super hot amazing someone. (Pudgemonkey knows what I'm talkin bout!!!!!)
However, I don't think I'd be that willing to listen to some weirdo band...like a cellist group named for the end of the world, or watch a strange anime movie and complain about it the whole time, or argue about repopulating the world, and how to do just that...HAHAHAHA...like someone....
but I would seriously do almost anything for that kind of love. And although it pains me a bit to say so, I guess that if someone did NOT like me back, I would give up on the whole woo-ing thing if I knew it would never happen...but it will happen, so end of discussion. (those of u who know who I'm talking about just smile and nod, K?) :)
****this is all strictly confidential, of course, what with the whole cello group, manga movie thing ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺
Wow this is an intense question!!! I agree with everyone about the fact that i dont think we can really know what we would do for love just because we are 16 or 17 and have not really experienced that true love. However, i do believe that i would do anything for someone that i was absolutely mad about. I know a lot of people that are mad about each other and can see how much love there is between them. this kind of passion makes me want to love somebody that much. when people truly love another person more than they love themselves, i think they are going to be willing to risk everything for that person. I can honestly say that i would die for my true love.
as for what lengths i would be willing to go to win the affections of someone, i think that if you are truly in love, you dont have to go to any great measures to get that other person to love you. i think that in order to love someone they have to love you too and so it is not worth all the work of trying to "win" their affection. i dont know if i am making any sense here. i guess what im trying to say is what you see is what you get.
I am extremely excited to read The Great Gatsby if it is a love story!!!!
ooooo Mrs. Svoboda...you ask such an awkward question, yet I'm sure you enjoy all of the answers...now we have to add a line to the tshirt that says "Look out for Svoboda!" JK
Ok...I believe that there are different kinds of love in the world. 'Fairytale' love is possible and close to perfect. Example, yes you may laugh at this....though I may regret it, in 'Enchanted', Prince Edward and Giselle fall in love at first sight (I just love how there is a prince, in some movies, randomly wandering around for their true love...) but they learn that they are not really meant for each other at the end of the movie. These people in movies are always willing to give everything for love...
Other love, like family and friends, is a strong bond I guess. You might say that you love someone (except guys who always seem to have their heads in the gutter around that subject so they add "as a friend" at the end), but what does that really mean to you? That, I think, is the better question. Of course I would be willing to do almost anything for my family and friends even though we have our rough times.
Then we finally have the true love/mathch/soulmate/blah blah blah. The kind that your parents very picky and annoying about!!! (YAY THREATMANTIC EMAILS!!! THEIR THREATING AND ROMANTIC AT THE SAME TIME!!!) In high school, we as teenagers become curious about love, but will never really experience it till later.(Yet for some this is questionable...) These people are willing to sacrifice a lot for each other. As for myself, me + other person = problems. I think it would be distracting to work and regular daily life, and not only that it would also require a lot of work to keep things running smoothly. There is no problem with that, but I think high school is hard enough without having an emotional tie thrown in...then there's the "*CRY* *SNIFLE* *SOB* HE/SHE BROKE UP WITH ME...Oh now we're back together"...rinse and repeate....IT BUGS ME!!!!!!! That is the big draw back to an early relationship. People throw their hearts out on the line of being broken into a billion little bite size pieces smoothered in depression and lightly sprinkled with hate, and even though a person knew this, he/she did it anyway!!! Either that or he/she has no heart and had a great time shattering another person's!!! (Just for the record Mrs. Svoboda, I had a very close incident like Amory did with Myra...weird...)
I am not a person who would change my personality just for something that I might not be successful in. Everyone has an area of expertise, but when it comes to love, there's no right or wrong way (this does not include legal/illegal) for things to happen. You won't see me begging and pleading with someone!!! That would be pathetic...
Another weird thing is that the main characters in both of my books are romantically challenged. One is destined to not be satisfied with any love he may find and the other is going after someone he can't have and doesn't bother to take a break and look around.
"Love is a gift. A lot of people don't remember that, so you two had better brace yourselves for a whole lot of ugly coming at you from a never ending parade of stupid."
I'm probably too analytical about this subject, but I do know that what happens happens. I think I'm in the same boat as Yin...so yeah...ask in like 20 years...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRYU4cqUAUs
may the bright, colorful, and happy burn your retinas out...not really...
hmmmm...this is a tough question...
well first off ive never been in love before. b/c im too young to know wat it means and i havn't had a boyfriend in a while haha jk jk...and i would have to agreee with everyone that we as young ppl don't really understand what true love is. Love is such a powerful thing and will make ppl do the craziest things. but if it were me who was in love...i really can't tell you what i would do. i think it would depend on the person and the circumstances....now if it was the person i was meant to be with for the rest of my life then i would probably do just bout ne thing for them, b/c i no that they would do the same for me. and i no that if i never even tried do ne thing for them that i would regret it for the rest of my life.
as for winning someones affections then that is a different story...i don't think i would do ne thing drastic to win someone over. i like to make the guy come after me, not me chasing the guy. i think that the guy has to make th first move..if they don't seem interseted then i won't bother...but on the other hand if they are interested then i might do some flirting or something, but nothing to extreme. i think its all about being yourself and if the guy likes you for who you are then great! if not then there is more fish in the sea....but..
...when it comes to those really really REALLY HOT guys. ;) then i usually find myself acting different and not being myself b/c i jus want to impress them.. but most of the time it never really works out so i end up giving up..haha cuz im not gunna fight for the boy....he should fight for the girl! :)
wow i think thats the longest i've ever written!!
P.S. if the great gatsby is about a love story then im gunna be really excited to read it!!
some people should listen to this song...either that or they will suffer eternal emotional pain until they can get over themselves and just say something...as awkward as it is to say it
when I say "same as above" I mean -.- zzzzzzz -.-!!!!!!!
BUT THEN SOMEONE! HAD TO ADD HER'S RIGHT BEFORE I POSTED THE NEXT ONE!!!!!! MAYBE THAT SOMEONE! COULD BE TINK!!!!! :)
meatloaf?? very romantic haha jk k well im not really sure what to say...there different kinds of love but to start out with i dont really believe in the concept of "love" i believe in lust, attraction, and strong friendship but not really love i guess (i have this odd feeling that im gonna get yelled at tm haha) for my family i would do anything for them anything because they are blood and stuck with me for life my best friends would come next they hold me together and i would do pretty much anything for them (unless its illegal) lastly would be romantic stuff i really dont care because im 16 and i dont plan on getting married anytime soon so really i could care less about some guy besides love isnt really real either your really good friends with your other half or you just really like to look at the other person or they have a crap ton of money and most the time every couple ends up hating each others guts....
I love that song!!
For love...
I would just about do anything and everything. There is nothing I wouldn't do to save my family, who I MOSTLY love. Even though they are weird, we all know that there is no way that we can't love our family. (For most people anyway.) I think most people can agree that family is more important than anything and they should come first in anyone's life. I know mine does for me... once again... most of the time ;)
Since everyone decided to go with the being in love type of thing, I guess I'll make a few comments on that too. Even though most of us haven't quite experienced love or are 'too young' to fall in love (like everything else in life!), I would have to say that I feel the same way as I do with my family. If you're not willing to give everything, or anything, for the one who you love.. that probably tells you something. Might wanna go love searching some more because that's not showing much. Love is love.. it's just a known fact. You have to be able to give anything to be able to say you're in love with someone.. duh.
To win the affections of someone..
If you are trying to win the affections of someone, it usually means you like them. I don't think that I would do anything too extreme or dangerous/hurtful, but I think we all know how we act around those that we like ;)
Enough said.
oh and by the way is the great gatsby really a love story....ew the only love story i like is twilight stuff so if it has some vampires im all good with it :)
look up 2 jk
Well as many other people have already stated there are many different types of love. If you are talking about the basic high school crush (which you probably are) then I would do absolutely nothing. Why would I want to go out of my way, embarrass myself, possibly get rejected, and be judged just so I can go out with someone for a month, get yelled at and be hated by her and all of her friends? Seriously love is pointless in high school. Oh we love each other yeah I’m so happy but now I have to go to collage and I will never see each other again. Bye, have a nice life. Yeah that’s what I really want. I guess if the two people plan to stay here instead of collage and work at McDonalds then go for it.
I guess if you are talking about family love then of course it would be different. For my mom I would do anything (except extensive torture (that includes asking a girl out)). It’s only fair I mean without her I wouldn’t be alive at all and she also raised me. And although I argue with my sisters I would do the same for them.
Now if you’re talking about true love, haha, forget it. Doesn’t exist (except in fairytales). Oaky all these people say they found true love. What are the chances all those people found their “soul mate” when they have only dated a few people out of six billion people on the earth? Not good virtually impossible. Now I’m not saying it’s pointless to date when I’m older. It is as a teenager as I already said above. I do plan on dating when I’m older. I won’t find a soul mate but I hope to find someone I can live with for the rest of my life. For this person I may travel across the world to find her (especially if I get to go back to Australia because it was amazing). I might also spend years searching for her or spend weeks in the hospital for her. See there aren’t really soul mates there’s just people who are more fit to last longer with others. This explains divorce because two people think they are soul mates but end up realizing it’s not them.
I was going to end here but I have kind of been the glass is half empty kind of person so I will talk about a fourth kind of love. Friendship love. I would do everything for my best friend. Without him my life would have sucked. He has been with me my whole life, and I know he would do anything for me. If I had to choose to choose between him and my wife (if I can get one after writing this journal) then I would choose him because I’ve known him forever and he has always been there for me.
So I guess that sums it up. Sorry once again for being the glass is half empty but love is pretty much an allusion and a fairytale within itself.
Well, I actually kind of disagree with what everyone else is saying..I personally believe that I know what true love is, even though I am young, I know what it feels like to be "truely in love". Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking..."pshhh she's only 16, she doesn't know what she's talking about.." BUT, I've never ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER felt this way about the person that I'm with now and I know for a fact that he feels the same way. I would do anything for him, even if I did have to die. I don't think I could live without him either..lol..wow this is deep.. I just feel like this relationship that I have with him is right. I can't imagine me with anyone else and I guess most people don't understand what it feels like at this age. I don't ever feel like I have to go to drastic measurs to win his affections and he doesn't have to win mine either. And, I think that if you feel like you have to win the affections of someone, then it's not meant to be.
I've been through a lot so far in my life, probably a lot more than any other normal teenager, and being through those situations helped me to see what real love is. Not only with my boyfriend, but with my family, too. If I didn't have my mom or my sister to talk to, I'd be a mess haha. If I didn't have the true love that they gave me, I would probably just have a black hole as my heart.
Oh yeah!! My boyfriend's in college and goes to UNL, if that helps any...because some people were talking about dumb high school relationships..well that should show that it's not a dumb high school relationship and we've been dating for a year. :) okay I'm done. haha
wow Eric...that is possibly the most realistic thing that I've read that you wrote. I can just hear you saying all of that. weird... o.0
I do, however, think that even though true love might not exsist, it never hurts to let a little fairytale magic into your life! :)
Although I do admit, the whole mushy mushy gooey gooey goo falling in love in one night thing is pushing things...
What do you guys think about high school/college relationships? I don't have a problem with them, but sometimes they make me wonder...I know what you think already KayKay...:p
OOOHH....and the discussion is left up to ME! MwahahahahahaHA! Ha just kidding.
But seriously.
I think I'm gonna go with Kaylyn for the most part, although I do agree w/ most of what Eric said.
As Eric stated, out of the 6 billion people on Earth, you're probably not gonna find your true soul-mate. However, you can find somebody who is right for you, and vice-versa. And who knows, maybe you can find your true soul-mate because God planned it that way, but I'm not gonna get into the whole religious thing.
Now to Kaylyn's point. I am also in a long-term relationship, and have been for 1 year and 10.5 months (Ha, I've got you beat, Kaylyn). Now I do agree that most high school relationships don't work out, but they are in no way pointless. Now if you want to completely 100% focus on school, work, etc. then props to you. However, mine's working out just great.
Now that I've vented, I guess I should probably answer the question...
For true love, as in for my GF or family, I would do ANYTHING. Sure, we all fight, but in the end, I love them all. And I also agree with Kaylyn on the second question. You shouldn't have to win the affections of anyone.
Ha, I just love the 'word verification' words. This time mine was 'sessy'. :P
BTW
I'm definitely posting my next blog in ig-pay atin-lay.
You know you love me Mrs. Voboda-say!
Whats next? "Why does every rose have it's thorns?".....haha, anyways
The concept of love is very interesting in itself. I think the question of what I would do for "love," depends on how it is defined. But...If I've learned one thing from the social mess that is highschool, it is to be yourself. When someone trys to "win" the affection of another, they are building a severely superfical connection. Then once that passes, they begin to realize that their personalities don't match at all.
I believe that in order to love another person, you first have to be completely secure with yourself. To be able to share your life with another means that you have to be mature enough to enjoy life on your own.
I wouldn't necessarilly do anything for love, because I think its more a matter of finding it. But I also don't want to rely too heavily on fate.
Im starting to confuse and contradict myself, so I'm gonna quit while this makes at least some sense.
Basically...I try to avoid winning peoples affection, because its fake and won't last.
OH! and to Jake's comment on the word verification. Mine said manthighs.....???
After checking until 4:55, I went to the kitchen to cook water to pour in this rubber heater, considering my house is uber cold.
I then went to do other typical doings... by then I disremembered what a journal was.
Having failed to post at 4, I will make it unfail by posting at 4, the one 12 hours later.
This is also to prevent adam epic fail on saying something that everyone will read that adam should not have said if he were to post at 4 and not the other 4 considering many will never return to read, which is good cause this is a different..er question that adam would like not many to read, opposing to the usual exhilarating questions for these electrifying journals of uber excitement and note that it is currently 4 and I forgot wtf I just typed. Sore throat buildup starting today... #%*@% kept me awake all %*$#%(#)* night.
(F stands for the letter F, not ef, effer, frek, freak, fun, #*%*, whatever, its pronounced F pronunciation "ef" for school appropriateness.

Ok, what would I do for love... now first I want to explain that many will obviously look at this word differently. Some will see it as one meaning, one human emotion, or the term split into multiple kinds/terms, or just the definition from the dictionary from the usual stoic.
I see love as multiple kinds, ranging from family love, your wife love, friend love, ranging down to lustly love, the I love cheesecake love and to the "omg are you $#*%ing retarded whytheck are you doing this for her kind of 'love'"
Now, depending on what kind of love your asking for I would obviously have multiple answers.
If it was family and I have my child, I would extend myself the most to caring for him/her, this is however a type of love on the opposite trend of relationship love.
If it was a strong bond with my wife, and I know she cares at the same level about me, I would do more willing to be with her... maybe even more to the pushing her out of the way of a drunk driver risk type. It would be worth the risk of injury not life (if you die, you leave her pain) kind of deal for that type of love. This type of love I would be willing to go out the furthest. With that, the combination of the power of family love would be the strongest type of love I can see as. That type of love would be my furthest venture out into it.
Now for petty love aka HighSchool honey love then, I would not care as much, I would actually place a girlfriend near the base of my worries if I was forced to get a girlfriend. Yes I would care for her and all, only as much as she to I, and if it gets too strong it needs to break, because if that relationship gets moderately high it will affect more important things... such as schoolwork might be bumped down a category of importance or at least impacted. (When you see making out in the KHS hallway after the bell, yeah, I think that's just a little too far.. and yes I saw that little PDA deal today... technically yesterday... coincidence into this topic yes? There is absolute no point in a girlfriend in Highschool. It unnecessarily impacts future life. It will most likely result in the pain of breaking up or the goodbye forever I'm going to college approx 1500 miles way type of deal.
For the extreme types that were not listed on my "Scale" I left out true love and... the other type... (Hey your hot, wanna have SEX RIGHT NOW BEFORE WE EVEN KNOW EACH OTHERS NAMES?).
For true love, I look at that as the perfect love, there is nothing perfect in this world except God and therefore true love is a fantasy and is of NONEXISTANCE. There is no such thing as a perfect relationship with 2 people, if it were to happen the power of that particular love would end up in corruption... no wait it is not possible so ignore the above. Two people cannot like 100 percent what each other does and likes to do, decisions are thought differently and problems are solved differently, he/she would have to like everything you do... which is not possible unless the laws of nature are broken. We would all die as we would fall up instead of down so nothing would matter as all humanity would be dead if that were to happen.
As for the "your a tard for doing this for her", your probably gonna kill yourself because she said "o hunny could you please retrieve my yo-yo that flew into that endless black pit of death... ignore the deadly looking death gas btw, just get my yo-yo" after your dead she would seek another guy to go get that yo-yo.
And also opposite of true love, which is none at all, does not exist either, even the most stoic of all would have a tiny hint of it buried somewhere.
You would have to be Agent Smith with his views of love as insipid. Or just be not human.

Everything below this is pretty much useless crap that I would be thinking about as it is nearly 4.
Oh and by the way, I will seek silent revenge for this... Just need to press about, 8 keys on your computer...heh heh heh...

not really and just kidding...
and it would take more than 8 keystrokes.
don't feel like going to jail with the "I took over my English teacher Macbook" criminal record and losing any chance of a job opportunity. Then end up working at McDonald's asking people to have sects because they is hot.
Hey I have an idea, why not talk about Hate on our next journal and see the bounds of our thoughts on that.
One thing that I hate: OCD Infection
I have OCD, on computers, which is bad because things BOTHER me that noone else would even NOTICE when on a computer of ANY KIND. Such as it is especially irritating for me to see certain things on BLOGS... (Hint hint URLS especially YOUTUBE URIS) but then again other would like that. I thought I put some hate into this to balance this intensive "love" subject.
I hate random people daily, seriously. (hey look ima shove this kid into the locker cause he is wearing glasses)(ah I is just gonna stop 5 minutes and let my kids out of the car in the middle of the street) Computer OCD and random hate.
--I seek a cure for this.--
Oh and by the way again, may I send you SHINY Graphics that I have even enhanced in Photoshop that make them even more SHINEY for the blog. When someone out of this English class sees it they will fall into a state of seizure because it was too shiny for the non Block III HE-III person to see.
(omg the Icons are not uniform on my bmk bar, this needs attention and requires action)

The captcha that is requested for me to type has the letters "luv" in it... in that order.

whoever same as above is... high-school college relationships are okay by me as long as the two knew each other in high school or before one went to college. If not, it's a little more iffy, but probably still okay. And kaylyn, i don't doubt that there are some high schoolers that can feel true love, it's just that there are quite a few that don't have a high enough maturity level.
Right now, honestly, "Love" is kind of a myth. I mean, I agree with what people have been saying about having different degrees of love for different people like family and friends, but I just don't think that I'd do much for anyone else. Everyone is going to take this as offensive, but I'm just entirely too selfish to have a true love at the moment. When I decide to commit to something, I like to go all out, and I don't think I could spend that much time and exert that much effort on one, specific person. So, I guess I wouldn't do much for love because I'd be too busy with my own life. Like I said though, I would most definitely do whatever I could for my family and my close friends.
I'm not really sure what i would do for love. just like everyone else said, we are only in high school, so we have no clue what true love is. obviously the fairy tale love is a fantasy all of us have, but no matter how far you go, it will probably never happen to you. i also think that, for the most part, high school relationships are completely stupid. why would you put your heart out on the line to have it broken by some guy you will never see again after graduation? i am planning on moving very far away from nebraska, hopefully for college, so any relationship i start would be pointless. at this time, there isn't very much i would do to win someone's affections.
first off meatloaf? what the heck is up with that? Anyway being a teen and all the experience we've had with love-lots of sarcasm-i dont think i know what i would do for true love. for my famiy i would do anything and i would like to think i would do the same for someone i loved. but no one really knows what they are goin to do until it happens. now as to what lengths i would go to there is a defining line between scary stalker person and someone who knows how to control their emotions. i would go to an extent to win someone i love but if you go to far then you can lose them all toegether. -Andrew
First off Moby Dick is completly off. Meatloaf has some great songs. In high school you don't know anything about love. You may think you do, but its not love at all its getting you ready for when your older and fall in love with that one person. In high school you can do some stuff for love but not eveything. Don't throw it all away in high school. You have the rest off your life ahead off you.
alright... So i guess would do about anything to win someone over as long as it doesnt require changing myself. I dont believe you should have to change who you are to make someone happy, and if you do there not worth anything at all. And if I was already in love, I would do anything for that person... i mean if it was really truly love than i wouldnt hesitate to risk my life for that person. I guess a lot of this comes from the fact that Im a christian and i have been taught to follow the example of Christ who died for us because he loved us so much. And obviously theres different kinds of love and my family comes before anything else. My parents have shown me the ultimate kind of love for raising ma and taking care of me. I would do anything in my power to repay them. Also, theres friendly love and I would do just about anything for a friend that i know will always be there for me.
mrs. svoboda---I heard you want the story of the strange jokes between me and maroro and cherie. you will be informed tomorrow morning if you're really dying to hear it. confidentially, of course...
Ok, right now i would do anything for the love and forgiveness of Mrs. Svoboda...I'm really sorry this is late!!
I was reading over other people's journals and I came across an entry that intrigued me. Eric was talking about how love is an illusion. I have to disagree. If it is only an illusion, then why do people fight for it, hope for it, lust for it, kill for it and need it so badly? Think about it: humans are subject to illusions, but what if this one is actually real? and it is...
Love is so much more than the physical or emotional stuff. It is the human acknowlegement that peace is achievable. It is the standard human need. We all need to be needed, to be loved. In fact, it isn't even about us loving back...it is about us being loved first. Why do you think popularity is so important in middle school and high school? It is the illusion of being loved...
Now that I have evaded the original question and talked about several other things, I think it is time for me to answer...
What would I do for love? Anything. Everything. You didn't specify the kind of love that you were talking about and it doesn't matter. For any love, romantic, paternal, or friendly, I would lay down my life. I would give that person all of my love as long as they needed it and beyond that. I would extend my love to everyone who needed it and those who already have it. I know I could not live if I was not loved. To answer your second question, I would have to say that I would go to just about any length to win the affections of someone. I honestly think that if that person really loved me, they wouldn't push my limits. They would understand my heart and love me for it. I don't think that they would test me.
I think love is worth anything and everything that you can give, but I also think that it should be something that people can give freely. If we, as a human race, have nothing else in common, we do have the need to be loved.
Uhhh Adam?
Are you okay?
I mean I knew you could be a little off-the-wall sometimes, but this is out there even by your standards.
However, I will admit it was very entertaining reading that...'blog?'
Anyway...
I have to completely disagree w/ some of you. The ignorant ppl. who just straight-up said, "High schoolers don't know what love is." and "High school relationships are pointless," etc. need to have a talk with Kaylyn or I. Yes, many times they are, but you can't stereotype and be that broad. There are always exceptions.
I just had a very disturbing thought pop into my head upon seeing a couple blog names, but we're gonna act like that did not happen.

pfft omg..
I think I was seriously stoned and on some sort of crack when I wrote that journal.
I did take 3 diff kinds of pills though after 3 hours of not being able to fall asleep.. at 3 in the morning.
I reread it and sort of can't even understand my own journal.
Yes I am currently sober as of now.
i came to ask a question about my research paper and got very distracted reading blogs, so now i must comment. i liked the forgiveness person's comment about......i forgot..lemme check...ah yes the illusion and the being loved. totally, who wouldn't wanna be loved, but some don't realize that you have to love b4 you get it, like the golden rule kinda (wow i didn't even know i knew this) and i'm pretty sure i've changed myself a TON just coming into english this yr, and entering hs and ms, and not even for bf/gf kinda love...friendships.. i'm not sure if i'm actually changing myself to gain "love" or i'm revealing the other side of me that's been in my subconcsious all along...man, i'm not going to get over this subconscious thing...and i'm kinda freaked myself out bc i could kinda understand what adam was saying in his first post....and btw, your post wasn't at 4, it was 4:04...and i've also recently learned that i have ocd....
anyway, the question about my research. couple of resources seem to say sth about the tragic-comic combo in the book, the many examples of how the reader laughs at the dumb tragedies and decisions. can i use that as a point? (it's not on the lit elements list) and/or/maybe i could tie it into irony? along with some stuff that each character is hiding from the others?
@jake: corgic...and i just noticed the handicap button next to it, it says "listen and type the numbers you hear" has anyone encountered numbers yet?
okay that one didn't work now it's romisu..but yea ben's was THE best
oops i forgot to type it in, okay "ounworg"
also, from doing math homework i learned that you can easily change the word local into global
hahahahhaha i looooove this class.. i just read all of those and man, thats real entertainment
I think that if the love was actually strong enough, one could literally do anything within human constraints for love. Like others have said though, I'm probably too young to know for sure what I personally could do.
