That looks more like a nihilist than an existentialist.

In the last line did you mean "you have stopped making sense" or do you mean "stopping to make" in the sense of another way of saying "started to make"

I took it to mean that TR was saying that EX had not stopped making sense, but was in the process of stopping.

Why doesn't EX stab TR at the end?

But seriously, indie, booya's right, that's a nihilist. I'm an existentialist.

EX: Why bother loving if you're just going to die?

in the whole kierkegaard-ian 'fear and trembling' interpretation of existentialism, an EX individual can base his (or her) entire existence on the quest for love.

i agree with booyalab and zedo, EX is a nihilist. and this makes me think of the big lebowski...
