i guess one major gripe i've had - or recently realize i hold - is that the people i'm normally with can't carry on a conversation along the lines of the sort above. lovey-dovey let's-pan-for-our-future stuff is well and good, and necessary (yes, it seems like i'm saying it very matter-of-factly and/or just adding these in as a necessary {evil}, but no, they are important to me), but this is so important to me (again, i seem to have really realized this fairly recently). on the other hand, the people that i can have a satisfying conversation with - no matter how truncated, littered with half-formulated ideas and without conclusions these conversations may be - are usually the people i don't see myself with.
bummer.
a friend of mine mentioned last week that logic and sensitivity are essentially opposite ends of a continuum (he said they were mutually exclusive, but i think it's fairer to say it's a continuum. more of one necessarily means less of the other; it seems fairly reasonable. but what's more important to me, i think, is emotionality and intellect, or the broader categories 'logic' and 'sensitivity' belong to. and i don't think these two are on a continuum. i just find it difficult locating someone who has both in good measure.
