      Don't have them. This is accomplished by one of three things:

      1. Breaking up.

      2. One of you moving to the other.

      3. Both of you leaving, settling in a totally new city.

      Long distance relationships are untenable because you need the regular habit of having her in your life, and vice versa. Of such are true relationships made, not of will and desire, but of habit and regularity.

          And why is Intel making socks. They're a computer company, not a clothing company.

          Or is there something special about the Intel sock? Is it a high-tech sock with a computer chip in it? Will it get lost in the wash?
          I hope it has nothing to do with the infamous winsock.dll, which plagued millions of people. Just wtf was that thing anyway?

            Well that's depressing. I would think the will bit should be the only part that truly matters.

            Breaking up... uh... we don't really like that option. And moving is kind of out of the question; we're both poor.

            • The will part is exhibited in your efforts to be close to her. If you don't go through the effort, the will isn't there, despite your protestations to the contrary.

              • What possible options do I have to make a little extra money on the side without having to report it and without taking up too much of my time? If I report it I lose out on some financial aid, and if it takes up too much time my grades at the university will suffer. I have ~13,000 capital to start out with, but I doubt I can afford to risk much more then a fraction of that. I also know alot from many subjects but can't be considered an "expert" in any field.

                      Should be regular income, but how much doesn't matter. Obviously the more cash I get the better, but If I only get $50 more a month, that's $50/month extra buffer I have.

                          So that can somehow be taken in a good way?

                          Sink the 13k into a stock with a good quarterly dividend. Dividends are tax deducatable so you won't have to report it. Just make sure to get a stock with good fundamentals.

                              Well I guess we can toss D.C. in there too. My mom says one of my aunts would love to help me out.

                              so new list:
                              Barrow, Alaska
                              Albuquerque, New Mexico
                              D.C.

                              Just a quick question, I know you say no to where I currently live because of weather, and many of the things Ive mentioned about it, but why no to NM?

                                Why? Can you "will" somebody into loving you? Can you "will" yourself into loving another, especially one who isn't around?

                                Would such a relationship even be healthy?
