You can't convince someone that you're in good faith. If they don't believe you, there isn't any recourse. You just keep the same way and hope they see it sometime.

Bloody blacklight died *AGAIN*. Well, this time there's no freaking way they can dodge out of that gimme-a-new-computer thing. It's all down there in the history books. But it may put me out of commission, internet-wise, for a while, grargh. I'll be using my mom's, I mean, which is awright and all, I guess. But fooey.

A problem of friendship at a distance: We're animals. Emotions aren't just transmitted and received but palpably affected whenever we're in the presence of another feeling being. Words, of course, carry plenty of this across, but they're symbols, they're simplified; they don't have the force, or the subtlety, or the complexity of... I don't think there's a good phrase for it... "physically transmitted" emotion? It sounds dodgy, I know, but... eh. People who exist together each keep their own ups and downs, but moods are like tides -- they respond to external influences, and not just ones that directly affect them. Unlike real tides, though, it can't happen at a distance, or nowhere near as well, at least. There are harmonies of natures, ideas, temperaments, habits -- these things, I think, are pretty stable elements. Immutable enough so that you can more-or-less predict what you get when you mix, say, one person's temperament with another's. But a harmony of being, of moving in time, of visceral sympathy... it's at the root of all discourse, but words can't duplicate it.

In the case of rats, however, continuous sleep deprivation for about two weeks or more inevitably caused death in experiments conducted in Allan Rechtschaffen’s sleep laboratory at the University of Chicago. Two animals lived on a rotating disc over a pool of water, separated by a fixed wall. Brainwaves were recorded continuously into a computer program that almost instantaneously recognized the onset of sleep. When the experimental rat fell asleep, the disc was rotated to keep it awake by bumping it against the wall and threatening to push the animal into the water. Control rats could sleep when the experimental rat was awake but were moved equally whenever the experimental rat started to sleep. The cause of death was not proven but was associated with whole body hypermetabolism.
How much would that suck? Seriously, how much would that suck? A lot, that's how much. From here.

I'm far from convinced that there actually is such a thing as "in love", except as a generalized shorthand for a phenomenon with lots of fuzzy edges.
