I really loved this... well done... the strength of your conviction came through... *nodnod*

And bonus, no eyestrain!

Great job!

Thanks! I realized as I was collecting the ideas for this post that it really needed to be *heard*, not read, to really come across well. (Plus, it's a way to differentiate myself from the crowd.)

Thanks for reading listening!

I wish I could know what you said, but since I am deaf and on dial-up I won't have the privilege to comment on your entry *sad face*.

Oops, sorry! I'll get the transcription up shortly.

Oh wow, this is very well put. I love how it describes what some might label as "romantic angst" and then turns it around in such a beautiful way. What a wonderful spirit you have and I, too, am proud to be a romantic! Have you ever taken the Meyers Briggs test? I'm an INFP. I wonder if you are, too, because for some reason I get the impression from the voice (not just audio) in this piece that you are of the same mindset as most INFPs when it comes to love, at least.

Either way, wonderful take on the topic, I love the point of reminding people of the oxymoron of the cliche, "hopeless romantic" and I look forward to seeing you go far with your entries.

Do I have to tell you how absolutely great I think this post is? Hehe. In case it didn't come through, it is great.

And personally, I can figure out why anyone wouldn't want to date you. I mean, first, you like hats and the scrabble thing? ::swoons while eyeing hubby in the back to make sure he doesn't notice::

I think I was an INTP or INTJ last time I took the Meyers-Briggs; I honestly can't remember.

And while the "hopeless romantic" cliche wasn't my first idea, once I found it, I knew it was perfect for the topic.

Thanks for listening/reading!

P.S. Quit swooning--you have a perfectly fine husband, so keep him. Now, if you have any friends you want to send my way... ;)

He also sings and is a great actor. I've known this guy since he was... :counts: mmm, ten at the oldest, possibly younger.

I wonder if I still have pictures from that first show we did. :wanders off singing 'Hey hey it's Saturday':

Great job Mike. You'll find her babe, I know it.

Man, those were some fun musicals. I still remember you asking my dad if his watch was waterproof. Good times.

I know she's out there; I just hope I recognize her when she comes along.

Thanks for reading!

I call my Love a hopeless romantic all the time, it's always with a smile and and a kiss. I love that he acts like he does.

I have faith that you will find the one for you.

As do I. Of course, a big flashing arrow in the sky pointing her out would be helpful. :)

Thanks for reading!
