For anybody looking for something to write about...

I had a random person IM me on AIM. They asked me the following question, and I would really actually like to see my f'list answers to it:

What makes a relationship a relationship, besides sex? How is it different from a friendship?

I was asleep when the IM came, so I never responded, but once I'm finished with my current streak of "stuff to get done ASAP for work" I'll probably piece my own answer together.

Emotional Investment, and Intimacy.

See, I disagree with this. I have just as much emotional investment and intimacy with extremely close friends of mine. Granted, the intimacy may be of a different type, but the strength of the intimacy is just as deep and strong.
