You should all read this.
Written by a friend of mine (who can out her LJ self, if she likes).

One of my favorite of too many brilliant paragraphs:
He makes me think of old-fashioned words like "rake" or "libertine." He's pretty, like Pan-meets-street-person, with green eyes and a curving smile that really do rock my socks. But he has a few too many stories for his age, so I am wary. I am still trying to get over someone who can't wait to tell me about his new someone. It's been five weeks since he left, claiming his heart was broken because I couldn't come with him, and he has somebody else already. That was quick.
Now, that's a writer.
