I don’t really know what this thread is about. I tried to come up with some reasoning behind it but I can’t see the slightest hint of logic. I’d say that it has no ulterior motives, but who’s to say what is motivating me to do this. I’d like to impose the rule that it shouldn’t be about anything or anyone, it should just be an expression of love for the sake of love, but I know once I have posted I will have no control as to what other dopers will post. So I’m going to just stop talking now and do what I set out to do. **nocturnal\_tick** loves you. ---
