Falling in Love

I know I have a serious problem romantising every thing that could or could not be possible happening in my so-called love life.  I think I'm more in love with the idea of being in love than actually doing it.  I can sit and daydream for hours about possible scenarios with any number of guys that have crossed my path.  I know love is something I really want but I have absolutely no clue on how to get it. I have the emotional maturity of a pre-pubescent 12 year old boy.  I don't like talking about my feelings.  I'm not very touchy-feeley.  I prefer taking care of arguments with sex because, really, who can still be mad after a mind blowing orgasm?  I don't mind alone time.  You want to go out with your friends?  Sure, go ahead!  I don't need to be attached to someone every hour of the day.  Unfortunately, this has led to most of the guys I've ever seriously dated to cheat on me and I have to wonder if it's because I come off as so freaking aloof.  I don't mean to be.  I know I have a hard time putting things into words but I find it much easier to write a letter to explain myself.  But, I do want that waking up to the same man every morning.  I want silly conversations over nothing in particular.  I want to cook for someone other than my kids.  I want those quiet moments you can have with a significant other.  I want someone who looks at me and smiles.  I want someone who will debate with me (loudly) and know it's not a fight.  I want someone to get me birthday presents.  I want someone to get birthday presents for.  I want someone to be around when I can't dance anymore but will laugh with me about the times we did.  Now, if I can only figure out how to do it...

You know...

...how something happens that you would have never expected and it turned out to be the best you have done in a really long time but you have the need to quiet down the smiling giggles because you just know you're not suppose to want it since it's not going to be around for much longer yet you can't help having daydreams and wonder if things have come full circle or if you even believe in things like that because you're a (supposed) grown up now and grown ups don't believe in fairy tales any more but you can't help but feel this thing and you're not quite sure how to describe except that it feels like coming home and it shouldn't make any sense yet it does in so many ways that you're child-like self is telling "yes" but reality keeps barking "no" and you're just not sure how you should even act the next time you come together that you're beginning to feel silly about it all but you still want to smile?  Does that even make any sense?

My Correspondence with Cracked.com

I love the site Cracked.com.  It's hilarious.  But, after reading an article on renegade nuns (seriously!), there was a huge ad for defund Planned Parenthood.  I wasn't happy about this.  I really didn't feel that a satire site that generally makes fun of politics shouldn't take sides one way or another.  And, it wasn't as if they had a similar ad for any pro-choice group.  I looked.  Well, this is the response I got back -

Thanks for emailing us about the ad to defund Planned Parenthood that you saw on our site. As you can probably imagine, we have deals with a handful of ad exchanges and there are literally hundreds of different "partners" that advertise on Cracked on a daily basis. We sometimes have to rely on passionate fans such as yourself to alert us of this kind of ad abuse. We definitely do not support it and have our entire ad team tasked with removing those ads from the site.

Thanks for your continued support-

He's my new favorite person of the moment.  Proof that if you at least say what is making you unhappy, someone somewhere might do something to change it.
