How does one
requite?
I mean, I can get the
origin of
disillusion (because while you weren't illusioned, you did have
illusions), but I can't understand the etymological
semantics behind unrequited love.
More importantly, why am I thinking about it? Well, in case you haven't guessed, this is a
Nodeian Slip - I'm putting up something personal in a
day log. So here goes.
There's a nice guy in front of me in my
world history class. Okay, more than
nice. He's incredibly
cute, incredibly
smart,
funny,
charming, etc. etc. ad nauseum. Problem: I have absolutely no clue if he's gay. So what better to do than direct my romantic
quandry at the poor, dejected readers of
Everything2? I'm going to invite him to
Requiem for a Dream (which just now opened. gawd.) this weekend, and hopefully, I can find out more. I mean, it's better than my friend Amy's plan.
"Well jeez, Fritz, it's simple. I'll flash him in the hall, and see if he takes a grab."
Time to do some requiting.
