6. So you got your GPS. What I wouldn't do for a PMS...
:wow:


Of course, my pendulum can swing both ways, but I do not know of an acronym that fits men.

9. No, I still get to be the one to understand love
You, on the other hand, get to understand not having any stuff. :D

10. Oh. So I'd understand by proxy what it's like to have love taken away.
Better to kill me than to take my trinket.

11. I think
I've finally reached the point in my life where I do.

But otherwise? Hell yes. It's just stuff. I can get more.

12. I don't need to. I do understand love.
But before you ask: No, I can't explain it.

15. Love is not to be understood.
It is to be followed.

16. I surprised myself. I voted yes.
One, I could care less about the things I own. I have very little to begin with and think that I should get rid of at least half of that.
At least half, probably more.

Two, I'm a failure when it comes to love. I think it would be nice to understand it.
Not saying I want it. Just understanding it would be plenty. (And my life would be uncluttered by stuff! :) )

20. No way.
Love is an illusion; stuff is real. Under no circumstances would I trade valuable items like my new iPod, my 11-year-old car, or my Magic 8-Ball for some fraught, frustrating, disappointing relationship.

21. Why would I want to understand it? I want to feel it!
I've never felt it but it sounds awesome!
