i have a little different idea about the line "the match of the century: absence versus thin air." someone earlier said that these are the same thing, but i disagree. when someone's absent they're physically (or mentally) unavailable, but they're called "absent" b/c they're expected to be someplace, in class or in the conversation or whatever. thin air is the opposite...the person is gone entirely. they're aren't expected, they aren't in touch, they've just...vanished.
don't know if that makes sense to anyone else heh maybe other people who have dealt with loss will understand what i'm trying to say =)
@nothingoodtosay - I always thought this line was sort of a vague reference to the phrase "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"... and I think that ties in with your opinion here as well.
