LITE, you seem to think that Soreth woke up with this 'ache' and said oh, I think I'll completely redirect the course of my life based on this. For quite a while now, he's loved me. Whenever I lost my grip on my feelings for him and they flared up to the point where I had to mention it to him, he would say something like he wished he could be that for me, but that he didn't think he could. In fact, his words that first... healed me on Friday were: Soreth pages: But yes. If I thought it'd work in some way, if I thought I was gay, if I thought I could give you what you need... in a heartbeat. Soreth pages: Well, actually, uh... more time than that. >..< Soreth pages: Since I'd have to find some way of Trillian not killing me.
At this point, obviously, he /didn't/ think it would work, as he hadn't for quite a while, which is why we'd remained friends and nothing more.
Also, Soreth did not 'just realize' that about his feelings for Trillian, and she knows this. Some time before this, he overcame his discomfort to tell Trillian that he /didn't know/ whether he loved her as more than a sister or not. This is known as HONESTY. At that point he wasn't making any other plans as far as I know, but rather than let her be confident he felt something he wasn't sure of, he made himself get that out in the open. If I had any effect on his realization that his love for Trillian is not romantic, it was only to give him something against which to compare what he felt for her.
Now, LITE, you're quite welcome to predict and prophesize whatever you want regarding our future together. But I should note I am coming to accept Soreth's draconity. Quite a while back I told him that I'd moved from actively disbelieving him to considering the possibility but being unconvinced, and recently, I've seen just too much evidence that this is not his first pass through life. There is substance to the claim that he has an 'old soul', something he tells me someone noted about him a long time ago. Of course, he's a human NOW, my eyes tell me that. But despite the continued feeble protestations of my skeptical nature, I believe he was something else before, and that something of that previous life has carried into this one within him.
As far as religion, well... I guess I'm still an agnostic with atheist tendencies. Unconvinced on any count there. I gave the Wiccan Goddess the same chance I gave Jehovah, Allah, and every other deity brought to my attention, the request to show me in whatever way they saw fit that they were real... and I've yet to get any feedback from on high. The only thing I can think of in my life that I can still remember that I would classify as a miracle is Soreth and I coming together like this, and no higher powers have stepped forward to claim responsibility for that.
Well, I guess that covers what I have to say about LITE's post. I was going to make one of my own but, for now, I think this is enough running of Josh's mouth.
