Okay. I've been having this argument with my guy friends lately, and I thought I'd hash it out here.
The term "girl crush" exists. I recently got to know a girl officemate of mine named Jane, and we clicked instantly. Our personalities mix well together. I told our other friends that I have a girl crush on her, and the guys just can't seem to get the concept around their heads. Having a girl crush means you just really like a girl, not in an "I'm interested in you" kind of way, but in a "Hey, I bet we'll be good friends" kind of way. It's different from meeting other people and thinking you like them enough to be friends with them though. When you use the term "girl crush" it's like you're acknowledging real - but friendly - chemistry. When I met one of my best friends Sheva (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
berrymix), it was the same thing. We had so many similar interests, reacted to things the same way - we were basically just on the same wavelength with each other. My guy friends ask me "Well, why don't we use the term "boy crush" when we meet somebody we think we could be buddies with?" I don't freakin' know, but yeah, "boy crush" just sounds weird, heh.
The term "girl crush" is used to simply acknowledge that a girl thinks another girl is cool. My friend Leslie recently said on Twitter: "I may have a girl crush on Helena Bonham Carter. It's the crazy." The best definition on Urban Dictionary states: "Girl crush - feelings of admiration and adoration which a girl has for another girl, without wanting to shag said girl. A nonsexual attraction, usually based on veneration at some level." (The site also has a definition for boy crush, but I don't know any boys who would willingly use that term.) So there you go boys, hope this enlightens you.

Hi. I haven't been posting much lately because life's been pretty sucky for the most part. Sure, I've been posting random stuff here and there but it's not like before. I've been busy with work as well, and these days, much of my free time is spent trying to distract myself from being sad. I've missed Livejournal so much though. I will try to post more in the coming days. I have a ton of old posts here in my hard drive, which I'll start putting up in a bit. My credit card prob's fixed too (they finally updated my employment details) so my Livejournal paid account's back and I have all my icons and links and themes again. Hope you all still remember me! I'll be back soon.

2 O'Clock you're still sleeping. When you wake up you'll be in such pain, and I wait with the plate, piled high with my love that you won't eat from. Love, you think you can contain me, but the future is already known. We give up our rest, and the best of us though. We'd be better off alone. There's no need to be so terrible, when you know I would do anything for you. This is so laughable, whatever happened to knowing that this was forever. File off the sharpness of feelings so I'll be protected from all of your evil. When you come round my love, I'll be gone, finally done, never to come to your rescue.

I always miss her, there's not a day that goes by when I don't think of her, but in the past several months, the pain has dulled a bit. I don't cry uncontrollably anymore, I don't choke up when I get reminded of her. However, there are moments like right now when I feel my insides explode with sadness, when the pain just overwhelms me, like black waves washing over me. Life will always feel horribly incomplete without her. I was looking for her today, I could hear her voice in my head. She would be such a big source of advice and comfort to me if she was here. My life is a wreck right now and I need her. Oh Mom, I miss you.

Pagmasdan ang ulan, unti-unting pumapatak sa mga halama't mga bulaklak. Pagmasdan ang dilim, unti-unting bumabalot sa buong paligid tuwing umuulan. Kasabay ng ulan bumubuhos ang 'yong ganda, kasabay rin ng hanging kumakanta. Maari bang huwag ka na sa piling ko'y lumisan pa, hanggang ang hangi't ula'y tumila na. Buhos na ulan, aking mundo'y lunuring tuluyan. Tulad ng pag-agos mo, 'di mapipigil ang puso kong nagliliyab. Pag-ibig ko'y umaapaw, damdamin ko'y humihiyaw sa tuwa, tuwing umuulan at kapiling ka. Pagmasdan ang ulan, unti-unting tumitila. Ikaw ri'y magpapaalam na. Maari bang minsan pa, mahagkan ka't maiduyan pa. Sakbibi ka't ulan lamang ang saksi. Minsan pa ulan bumuhos ka't huwag nang tumigil pa. Hatid mo ma'y bagyo, dalangin ito ng puso kong sumasamo. Pag-ibig ko'y umaapaw, damdamin ko'y humihiyaw sa tuwa, tuwing umuulan at kapiling ka.

Pag-ibig ko'y umaapaw, damdamin ko'y humihiyaw sa tuwa, tuwing umuulan at kapiling ka. Minsan pa ulan bumuhos ka't h'wag nang tumigil pa. Hatid mo ma'y bagyo, dalangin ito ng puso kong sumasamo. Pag-ibig ko'y umaapaw, damdamin ko'y humihiyaw sa tuwa, tuwing umuulan at kapiling ka.
