I'm joining: hell, I've wept like a baby listening to Script For a Jester's Tear and Misplaced Childhood, several VdGG songs, etc.

I also have silly romantic thoughts about Helen.

Plus, I write poetry.

Top that, bitch.

The "Silly Romanticist Club" shall dream about destroying you. But, could you kidnap our girls first, that would make destroying you SO much more romantic, and then we save them and slip of into the sunset.

Well, I took it for granted you would want in. Your thoughts of Helen qualify, you're in.

I qualify becuase of the silly and romantic Concept Album I wrote for Hope, sigh...
I need to finish writing the keyboard/viola parts to it so we can RECORD it! Then, when she turns 16 and I ask her out, and she says yes (which she will) I can shyly say, I wrote this album for you. She will listen to it, be freaked out a little, then realize it is the sweetest, most romantic thing anyone has done for her and be forced to fall in love with me. Then, I can write songs in my old age about enduring love while touring with the latest Prog supergroups!

The acid of love Alex, the acid of love...

Missionaries Without Monasterys will be the most pwnish Prog Supergroup I will ever be in, and I will be in many, mark my words. And through it all I will be married to Hope, and have a wonderfully talented daughter named Marucha. IT WILL HAPPEN!

Seriously, this seems like joking, but in all seriousness, don't obsess too much on one person. It can have devastating resultsOuch

I've noticed myself slipping towards naivety more these days, due to not so recent liking/more recent talking to of a certain girlEmbarrassed
they tend to do that, then you slip into a false sense of "hey maybe this is possible", and finally they whip out the "oh I had no idea" and act like liking them is betraying them, and then you can't stand to look at them for the next month....at least I'm currently in the more pleasant part of the cycle (if you can call it that)


Yes, I'm bitter, what of it, at least I'm not whining how "no girl likes me" because I don't give much of a sh*t anymore so Big smile

Well, if you stay friends for a while, things could change.


You know what's weird? Helen notices me more ever since I asked her out.

Who knows, maybe she does like you but she's confused, though the same thing w/ me and Ms. f**k up my life(IT'SA JOKE PEOPLE A JOKE) happens, and I think it's curiosity, at least in my situation

Smile I'm in.
 
I have silly, romantic, outdated notions about the timeless importance of love, honour, respect, equality, tolerance, empathy, etc.
 
I don't like "slasher" or "shoot 'em up" flics -- I like period costume dramas. (In many of my favourite movies, NO ONE gets shot!)
 
I been known to like slow, beautiful romantic prog songs with lots of acoustic guitar, flute, viokin, etc. (The stuff many here dismiss as "filler.") I even like "More Fool Me."
 
Some of my favourite Victorian novelists are -- gasp! -- WOMEN!
 
I like flowers, laughing brooks and little birdies -- I think smiling babies are cute.
 
My favourite song on Relayer is "To Be Over." On Lizard, it is "Lady of the Dancing Water."
 
I've never had a one-night stand, and if I took a girl out on a second date, it meant I liked her.
 
I don't like contact sports, and I've never been in a strip club. (I'd be embarrassed, and I think they are degrading to both women and men.)
 
Bands with names that refer to death, corpses, evisceration, torture, necrophilia, blood, guts, etc, repel me.
 
I'm a pretty good cook.
 
Many of my bosses and co-workers have been women, and I have no problem with that.
 
I live in an area where almost all the red-blooded males hunt, but I've never hunted. (I've never been hungry enough.)
 
I drive a small car, and walk to work.
 
I can understand poetry.
 
I have never punched anyone.
 
In short, I am hopeless.Unhappy
 
 
But I can chop wood, and I LOVE motorcycles! Big smile

Okay, I confess, I'm a romantic in denial (I guess no more)

I believe in equality and such and such, as Peter mentioned, I find pornography and strip clubs as blatant exploitation and degredation of women, I don't want sex until marriage (I know that's really Shocked) I also believe love should be based off of personality and compatibility and shouldn't be merely skin deep.....

I've yet to find anyone who wants to put up with this crap thoughOuch

Script For A Jesters Tear was the story of my life when it came out in 1983 (23 years ago...); hopelessly infatuated with a girl at the time (who has since become one of my longest standing close friends), I'd spend long hours gazing out of a window in a winsome manner - I like to think this was sheer romanticism, but I was a 19 year old male, so I suspect there may have been other elements at work...
