[ Behold: Lestat, sprawled on a velvet couch in a leather jacket, head leaned casually on the arm rest. Visible from this selfie angle, discarded on his coffee table, is a laptop open to a word processor. He's deep in thought tonight. ]

Have you ever fallen in love? Have you ever been punched very hard in the face, or perhaps attacked by a pack of starving wolves? For those of you who've done both, would you say the experiences were at all comparable?

It's - an electric shock. There's this device that jolts you with electricity and it feels like a punch to the chest, if a punch to the chest could make you pee yourself.

It's not great.

My God, the sonnets Shakespeare could have written about that.

[inthequiet]

I can only imagine.

As far as comparing it to love, I think it's pretty descriptive. Less pissing in love, unless you're into that kind of thing.

I try not to judge people's preferred forms of self-expression!

[inthequiet]

That's very progressive of you. A lot of people find great joy in shitting on other people's pleasures.

[youresovein]

Shouldn't that really be between you and whoever you're pleasing?

[inthequiet]

You'd think, right? To each their own, and all that. Some people just seem to get off on butting in on other people's business.

[youresovein]

Which— in a way, if you think about it— might be their kink. Perhaps we shouldn't be so quick to judge.

[inthequiet]

Oooh. I didn't even think about it that way. I just wish they'd ask for my consent before getting their judgment rocks off.

What a tangled web of self-gratification we weave...

[inthequiet]

Nailed it with that one, buddy.

So - who is it?

[youresovein]

My other half. My soulmate, if you believe in such things. Choose your favorite cliche.

[inthequiet]

Ooh. If you're using the s-word, you really do have it bad.

Are they here?
