Because I see variations of this all over, all the time...

I do not lack romance.

[dondlion]

I've only met one person in my whole, rapidly lengthening life who I am sure had the 'gift of singleness.'

I keep things simple. I'm supposed to glorify God today. Today I am single. I should glorify God as a single person today.

I don't want to be single, but I figure that God is protecting women from the like of me out of respect for His mother, as the Catholics like to call her. I always think, when reminded that married people will have trouble in this life, that single people will also have trouble in this life, but are less likely to have anyone pick them up when they fall. I have absolutely no idea how all of this works, but I have a dead woman and a couple of dysfunctional women in my past to convince me that I don't understand anything but pain and perseverance. Just today my ex-sort-of-girlfriend's mother told me I lack romance, to which I replied, "What're you talking about? I'm full of romance. Just look at me right now. I'm dreaming beautiful, romantic things! I couldn't be more romantic than this!" Then I turned to Liverpool football video. It all started with a discussion of what Jane Austen would have done with a sequel to Pride and Prejudice or some other novel. (I have read almost all of Jane Austen, but was told that it's for girls and there's something wrong with me reading her.)

What did you say that you think again? I'm for that!

Yes, they are working me too hard.

I'll always be in favor of agreeing with me.
