But yeah, I love people too... And I love cunnilingus, and you would think that would be a good combination of things to love that would allow you to do the things you love; but the world is a strange place to live in eh?
In my experience, opinions on people tend to come in two schools of thought: "people are awesome but persons are terrible," and "people are terrible but persons are awesome." Not entire sure where fucking people (where "fucking" is used as an adjective and not as a gerund) comes into the equation.
In my experience brewing beer is a great idea: discussing relationships while brewing beer is a meh idea at best.
In general, Greg, both camps are correct in that people and persons are great and terrible at the same time, which is so wishywashy and lame a statement as to be a hanging offense. Yet it remains, true as always, a statement we have to remind ourselves of at times.
You know what would be awesome tho? A drunk history episode where the actors who play the American founding fathers get drunk and stoned, in character, and talk about Roman and European history as if they were being interviewed in some New England pub in the 1700's. That would make my day.

People are fucking people. By themselves and together they're awesome, they're terrible, they're everything in-between. If I know somebody well enough I have to love them, so I try to love everyone and I say that people are great. Even when people are terrible I say to myself "yes, great, keep peopling, I love you for it."
It's a really difficult, fucked up way to view the world and I don't recommend it.

You ever worry that you might be boring your partner? Like you forget to know how to carry a conversation or something? Then it runs out, and OMG WHAT TO SAY! Awkward silence.
Normally, you can just fill that silence with make outs, but I'm talking phone and text here.

Some times you just don't have anything to say, unless its big conversation. Case in point today, K-rizz called me up after hanging out for a couple of days. She was on lunch and I was getting ready for sleep. We didn't have much to talk about that wasn't a cerial conversation as we'd hungout a load already. Some times you don't have stuff to talk about all the time its just a human thing.

There's something to be said about being able to hang out and not having to say anything and be okay with it.

Those companionable silences are the best. My dad and I went on a weeks cycling trip and spoke less than 5,000 words. Thats the whole time including dinner and navigation. Hell half the conversations that K-rizz and I have are pretty short as we know what the other is thinking or have reached the logical, or illogical, end.
Something a little bit different from what's been discussed here in the past, but I am sort of curious about people's preferred methods of birth control and why. My s/o and I use both pill and condoms maybe because I'm paranoid, but I know a lot of people see the pill as being enough to prevent pregnancy on its own, given a monogamous relationship and STIs not being a factor. Not sure what I'm even looking for here, just would like to hear some thoughts about what works for different people, since it always seems like a balancing act between safety and comfort.

Pill alone is more effective than condom alone. Together is most effective.
Nuvaring only here. Every year when I get my yearly Pap smear, my gynecologist offers a full work up of tests. I allow it every few years just to see, even though being in a monogamous relationship proves the tests to be unnecessary.
Never had a preggo scare.
Like others, both is probably best. Have either of you gotten vaccinated for HPV? I'm not sure what the age limit is, but something to consider.
There are also tons of new methods of birth control. While most may not be effective with STIs, it may be more effective than the pill.
I was very content in a relationship that went with the pill and a pro-abortion stance unless she felt we could actually work together if a babby were to somehow result... so that worked pretty well and there was never stress about things.
But with most girls I've had a relationship with, the pill was not up for consideration: so it was up our latex friends and reducing the ratio of live-fire engagements to curb the babby menace. Generally more stressfull overall, and less fun I suppose; usually a few scares a year, and there may or may not have been a rather cold walk in the snow to a CVS once or twice because "damnit the couch is so comfy and the bedroom is like... WAAAY over there"
I think development of more and better contraceptive methods will go a long way for the human race's further development.
