   Something special, yes.  Something unique, no.  I have felt very
deeply toward many people at once.  (Even while Jenn was my girlfriend,
and my lover, Julietta was my closest friend for a long time.) (And I
also loved several others -- not physically.)
   I know from experience that it's possible to love several people,
all in completely idfferent ways. (No backspace key... damn!) Could I
love one person with all the love I felt fro all of them? Perhaps...
but she would be an extremely rare person! (To share all of my interests
at once, to be growing at the same rate I grow, and yet to be constantly
bringing new ideas into the relationship -- that would be a rere 
person, indeed!)
