It's Black Friday here in the US, which is the day that we're supposed to come out of our turkey caves, blinking into the sunlight, and go into a retail frenzy. I, of course, left my apartment only to quickly flee to the refuge of record stores. One of the stores we visited was new to us, and the woman behind the counter is just bursting with personality. While I was browsing a collection of old jazz albums she was chatting away with another customer and noted that she sometimes had murder fantasies about her husband, even though he was like her best friend. She then amended that to include the fact that she sometimes had murder fantasies about her best friend as well, because any love worth having had a drop of hate in it. I chuckled, and Boy elbowed me in the ribs, because I feel like that a lot of the time too, and it's funny to run into someone who understands it. Love for me, strong love, is not a pure emotion. It's a collection of feelings and intuitions that are sometimes at odds with each other, but that work anyway. Opposites do attract for a reason.

Is there anyone that your character would hate just as soon as they'd love them?
