Ah, the hope people like you offer to our kind. *sniffle* Oh, it warms the heart. xD

Comfortably single

Aw, thanks Ali Lou. Lol, your response is the exact opposite of what this post intended to begin with but still, that's so sweet of you to say! =)

AWWWWWW! =D The magic even happens here on Mingle2. What a precious moment. =')

Oh, I think he caught the sarcasm, lol. Hey guy, whoever you are. It's totally cool. I didn't make the sarcasm as obvious as I could I suppose.

Fox is DYING to know.

=p

Not to mention history hasn't exactly been kind to them. That makes sense.

I honestly couldn't say. I'm not an older woman.

Ikr, where the heck are they?

Who said anything about needing it? Although you have to admit, it's pretty darn convenient. And I can think of a few people who work so long, so endlessly that they would need a service like this before they actually met up with someone.

Seriously, no one? 0_o I find that hard to believe.

awwww, thanks Suntita! =)

Shame about your country though, although I can understand the mindset. I know what a pragmatist I turn into when food becomes scarce.

Alright, you all know the drill- I'm good looking and I know it, but in order to fuel my ego for the day I demand at least six good comments, including one or two particularly desperate ones talking about a deep and heartfelt longing for a man of my stature. I'll make a pretense of humility by saying something like, "I know I'm a little skinny but..." so you don't feel inhibited by my rampant narcissism and ease my 'troubled' soul with sweet nothings about how hot I am. Since that's clearly what matters most. It should be obvious since I haven't written anything about myself in my profile and I just have scantily clad pics up. I'm basically getting ready for a fully-fledged career in super-modeling and you're my helpful minions, getting me ready for a long and illustrious career in self-glorification at whoever's expense however it has to be done.

As for you naysayers? Screw you.

Cheers,

And who can blame you? It's difficult enough to resist as it is without every form of media screaming at you to cut loose, hold nothing back.

Well I guess if I'm honest I'd really like to meet Leigh. She strikes me as a stimulative conversationalist.

Would it be fair to say almost everyone I've interacted with so far? People are so damn interesting!

Brent Weeks eh? Which of his books do you like the best?

It's glorious, you should totally get them. Here, let me pull up the amazon link for the first of the trilogy-

http://www.amazon.com/The-Blade-Itself-First-Law/dp/159102594X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1384203282&sr=8-1&keywords=the+blade+itself

I'd recommend it to anyone except children. Some of the themes wouldn't be understood.

hehehe, alright!

This book totally assaults the common tropes in the Lord of the Rings. Like, ALL of them. And in three books, it turns those tropes on their heads and an entirely new creation has been born in the world of fantasy.

So there are the standard characters- a powerful wizard, a barbarian who doesn't actually seem that barbaric, a reluctant would-be-king, a colorful cast of secondary character, mighty enemies assaulting the free lands from the north and the coasts. And can I just say, the character development is exquisite. Each of them starts with great hopes and dreams and in the end.....well you'll just have to find out. =)

There's a quest to find a weapon to end the war and secure the peace, a torturer who is arguable the only honest man in the entire trilogy. The great war, as you gathered, a fight apparently between good and evil. Demons, sorcery, enchantment, bravery, all the traditional stuff is there. And the writer spends three books doing it so he can deliver a crushing blow to traditional fantasy at the end of the novels. And it really does take all three to accomplish what he did. The man is amazing.

It can be, but with the right person it can be a priceless expression of deep commitment and affection. With my former, Marsha, she new that I was completely committed and that I lived up to that commitment, so the flower took on a more significant meaning. Little things like that aren't in and of themselves precious, but if the person they're from has impacted your life in a big way, the smallest trinket can mean all the world.
