Hi-Lo monday from a roller coaster weekend

with 'you' being the person of the year, what does this actually imply? have we lost the great men who are able to transform history with their position or contribution? have we lost interest and faith in them and have gone apathetic? have we came to believe that self-empowerment is the key? have we gotten self-centered and vain or rather sociable, realizing we need each other?
i don't know. why don't 'you' decide.

high maintenance girlfriends are no big deal. they're everywhere and surprisingly tolerable. but how about high maintenance friends? defined by urban dictionary as someone who requires more maintenance than their contribution to  your life's worth (ouch) or someone who is full of drama and gets pissed at friends for stupid things, etc., a HMF is someone who requires a lot of your attention, presence and involvement on his/her life. not that they're not worth keeping, but most oftenly the relationship gets exhausting and then, unfortunately, falls apart. opposite to this type of friends are the ones that you might see often or not (not your imaginary one of course) but still instantly take off from where you left the last time you hanged out with him/her. these are those friends where you can just sit with, no dialogue necessary, and be at peace in times of trouble. no advice, no pity aka patronizing, just a simple indication of being there-- sharing a scone, watching a game together, posting a comment on your blog, suggesting a funny video, etc. -- no strings attached (and you thought that only applies to your last hook-up). anyway, this is my attempt of saying thanks to those friends.

both kinds.

talk about HMF, just wondering how the friends of this guy feel -- being part of his myspace friends. oh, and yeah, that guy is the suspect in the ipswich killings.
