a puddle
...no coat.

just another

curbside tragedy

    I like this a lot.. but i'm also a big sucker for it too. I'm certainly not naieve but perhaps blindly optimistic that there can be some truth in it all..

    I think there could be a lot I could say to this peice considering it's truth and the length of it. But then it'd be pointless because words really can't ... say much to this. So I'll just agree with Sio.

    Ok, i'll be honest. I have nothing to say here that.. either hasn't already been said or will just sound.. blahish if I say it. But i've read this quite a few times over today and yesterday.. and I want you to know that I love it.

    it's nice to know i'm not the only one that has some unexplainable feelings about those freeze frame moments...thx:)

    I shall carry a coat with me everywhere then perhaps, to fall in love from a show of chivalry, how romantic and yet...and yet...

    o'yay....nothing sweeps me off my feet like a bijou moment of minimal effort;)

    Isn't minimalism the new romanticism? Or am I just missing the point of vogue interdictions into traditionalism?

    to be perfectly honest...i know zilch about romanticism or traditionalism...i would never accept a proposal during halftime at a basketball game nor would i run hand in hand on a beach in slow motion with tacky tear dripping music in the background..

    ....i guess deep down i sorta dispise the girls that fall for those 'pre-packaged' romances they read about in Cosmo or watch in a sappy pms kinda feminine movie of the week.... :)
