No gain, no pain in rants

Someone on facebook posted a link to things only your best friend would know about you. In reading it, I realized, according to the designer of that list, I have no best friends... there is NO one who knows that information about me. (http://www.buzzfeed.com/regajha/things-only-your-best-friends-know-about-you?bffb)

I realized I haven't had love in my life for over a decade. Although I have friends, none are THAT close.

So I started to think about love:

2000 - my father and my last dog both died

2001 - got back in touch with an ex-boyfriend, and the woman who'd been like a daughter to me... Then a month later, had a bad break-up with the then current boyfriend. A month after that met a male student who became like a son to me (I guess more I became like a mother to him). (Oh, and 9-11) I met a man in a club - had a wonderful evening of deep emotional talking, we dated one time after that... then he dumped me. I stopped going to that club.

By 2003, I lost touch with both the woman/daughter and student/son. And another pet died.

I met my movie buddy around that time or the next year... and although we're friends and get together a few times a month, there are limits to our closeness. Man/woman friendship is tricky.

So, no love... no gain...no pain (of loss).
