I'm not your friend, I'm just a man who knows how to feel...I'm not your friend, I'm not your lover, I'm not your family, YEAH~

I was thinking of this old conversation I had with Grant...
An emotional day, kind of a bad fucking day, ended on a romantic note, which he always hated. He was always running away from me, but then managed to pull me along with him.
Anyway, we're having a drink, and he looks up at the buildings and then gives me this sidelong glance and murmurs, "You know, you're the type to want to fly up there to see the sky better. But some one could get hurt, doing something like that, climbing onto the roof."

I hate metaphors today.
Especially since this one still applies.

Lie to Me

"Does it ever get easy?"
"You mean life? ...What do you want me to say?"
"Lie to me."
"Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true. The bad guys are always easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats. We always beat them and save the day. Nobody ever dies, and everyone lives happily ever after."
"...Liar."

I have come to the conclusion that there is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer quote for every occasion. This one fits my life right about now.
Say what you want, but that show was the awesome when it started, back in '97. It got hokey near the end of its run, but it is definitely quotable.
Perhaps I shall gift you with more quotes from time to time.
