| It was Halloween, I was seventeen, visiting a friend in college. It was my first experience with alcohol, and I got more or less drunk, as did my friend. Afterwards she asked me to lie next to her in bed and she told me that she had been romantically interested in me when we were both in high school... |

| Sand, those comments are inappropriate and illogical. Irishwhistle gave no indication (before your comment) as to whether she only admires realistic or representational art. Even if she chose to dismiss most or all non-objective art, that doesn't mean that she is ignorant of it -- and her remarks h... |

| 1. Yes. I've done the exact same thing and I still thought about the person in question, although it's a different type of thinking because it doesn't involve taking new information in, only analyzing old facts. Particularly, I did it in a very similar way when I was about 20 - 22, so he might grow ... |

| I really don't understand how most people are able to ascertain which actors are good. It's as if they're seeing something that isn't there, or that I don't see, at least. I remember having that thought as an adolescent as well. That said, I'm not entirely convinced that there is such a thing as goo... |

| Thanks. Funnily enough, the "similar titles" results on Netflix include a Pollock documentary. I've always thought that Rothko was okay. At least he had some other interests (he played piano and went to Harvard), although when it came to painting he wasn't a natural. And it's clear what he stood for. |

| . . . I was thoroughly tickled to see a documentary about Georgia O'Keefe that showed her looking at a museum and rolling her eyes at Jackson Pollock. She did like Rothko, though. I don't care for Picasso though I could see learning something there. I just don't like looking at it. I really don't l... |

| It crossed my mind that Bush might have asperger's syndrome a little while ago. While I don't know enough about the man's personal life to say one way or another, one thing I can say is that his career choice and/or his success should not be used to determine whether or not it is an apt diagnosis.

Jackson Pollock.
I don't think he had any real interest in or knowledge of painting or art, and he's really the epitome of the illiterate, anti-intellectual artist. I prefer Lee Krasner (his wife)'s paintings to his easily. |

I was joking.
I can't say that I relate to your situation. Usually talking to someone I'm interested in seems stressful only retrospectively. I don't find being around said someone stressful in and of itself. |

| Walter Benjamin stated in One-Way Street that "taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse . . . for it is only in company that eating is done justice; food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received." I disagree entirely, although I'm still a fan of Benjamin's. However, if... |
