bureaucracy

it's a noun. one of it's meanings, the one i'm taking into context here, is, "an administrative system in which the need or inclination to follow rigid or complex procedures impedes effective action." unfortunately, i feel as though i am slowly being forced to live in a bureaucracy i have, myself, only half-heartedly refused to accept. here's the thing; once you impose upon something a set of rules, of guidelines- once you try to fit it into a box of some sort- it almost loses meaning. furthermore, in my experience, it has a tendency to fall apart. i don't want to write a typical pointless blog, so i'll try to get around to the real reason behind my ramblings.

primary point: relationships are no exception to the above observation i have made. in fact, they're exactly what i had in mind when i made said observation. i've tried calling relationships things before (ex. "we're best friends!" or "yeah, we're dating."), and it usually doesn't go as well in real life as it looks on paper. restricting a relationship from the get-go is a surefire way to hold back it's growth process.

secondary point: since i have gone so far as to actually learn something from life, a surprise even to my jaded self, i have decided to actually put that lesson to use. i would deeply appreciate it if any and all of you could refrain from any comments concerning the "dating" or whatever status of a certain Marcopoulos and myself, for more reasons that one (even though i'm only going to mention one, because it's the only one i'm actually aware of); i have no idea, myself even, what is going on.

trimary (euh...?) point: so, to sum with a point, butt out. i love you all, but with all due respect, i need you to leave this alone.

thank-you, and much love.
