So, for the past couple of days, I've been talking to this guy. He seems really nice and really sweet, and we have a lot in common. Unfortunately, he lives a few hours away. He seems very excited about the possibilities of "us" and thinks we have a shot. I'm more concerned and much more cautious. Long distance relationships are tough and, while I've managed before, I'm not sure if I want to go through that again. It also makes me nervous because I feel like he's becoming increasingly ...

Ok, so it's not really love's fault. The fault actually lies with the way people perceive love. Allow me to explain. When people say they've "found their soul mate", what do they actually mean by this? Do they mean that they've found the one person who will fulfill their lives? Do they mean that they've found the person they are destined to be with? Is this the only person in the world that's perfect for them? I'm sure some people really do mean that, but are they right? A lot o...

Anyone who's read my stuff regularly knows the troubles I've had with my ex. For those of you who don't know what's going on, I'll sum up: we were in love, we were supposed to get married. Then, he found out his dad isn't really his dad, and he had an identity crisis. Because of this identity crisis, we broke up, but we were still together like we were before. We still spoke each night, he still came to see me, we still... well, you know. Then, after coming to see me one weekend, he star...

I know this girl that I would call a friend, though not a close friend. She's more a friend of convenience. It isn't that I don't like her or anything, but we would not "hang out" this much if circumstances were different. You see, my best friend graduated in December and moved to Florida, leaving me all alone. Since I'm pretty much a hermit, I didn't think this would be too bad. Unfortunately, I do have to speak to people at some point during the week and this girl, we'll call her "Ja...

I told myself that I would not blog about my ex again. To be honest, I actually promised myself that I would not talk about him, talk to him, e-mail him, look him up and even try not to think about him. However, I can't seem to get this thought out of my head, and decided that I needed to write about it. So, here goes. My ex seems to fall in and out of love very easily. I really should have known better than to get involved with him again, but I didn't think about it all that much w...

As kids, we used to write letters to Santa. I have decided to write a letter to Cupid on this St. Valentine's day. Dear Cupid, All I want this Valentine's Day is, well, love. I have been a very good girl all year, and so I think I deserve to find love this year. I'm going to be specific this year though. You have tricked me before, so I'm spelling it all out this time. 1. I want a man. I'm not saying this because I feel the need to specify between male and female, but because ...

Love is not breakfast in bed… love is a box of tissues and a bottle of Nyquil when you have a cold. Love is not chocolates for Valentine’s Day, love is chocolate during “that time of the month”. Love is not cut flowers… love is remembering to water the potted plants. Love is not fireworks… love is friendship. Love is not perfections… love is compromise. We do not expect the love of family and friends to complete us. We do not expect their love to make us happy. We do not expect the...

What is Love? As the dreaded 14th comes ever closer, it leaves people wondering, "what is love?" Is it chocolates and flowers (aka dead plant life and sugar-and-fat blocks)? Is it being hit in the heart by one of the naked, fat boy's arrows? Is it candlelight? Is it friendship? Is it unconditional? Is it forever or can it fade? Is there only one love, or can a person have many? Is it true, or illusion? Does it exist in real life, or only in the movies? Are there soul mates, or love...

I'm not worried tonight. I'm not angry. I'm not upset either. Tonight, I just miss him. I've missed him all day, really. He called early last night but I missed his call because I was taking a bubble bath. I don't get to talk to him tonight because I worked late. Hopefully, I'll get to talk to him tomorrow. I miss him a lot today. I wish I knew he would be home when I got off work. I wish I could crawl into bed, and cuddle up beside him. I wish we could curl up on the couch and...

Grant and I have been dating for six months now and I am stumped on what to do. He's going to come see me tonight and he promised to take me out to dinner with his poker winnings. I want to do something for him, but I have no idea what. I thought about cooking him dessert, but he doesn't have much of a sweet-tooth. He likes my pecan pie, but he's had that too many times before. Flowers are too girly, and stuffed animals are dumb too. I need help! What do I do? He's hard to shop fo...

My childhood died this year. I thought I was an adult, I really did. I mean, legally I was already an adult. My parents didn't give me a curfew. I could buy beer, smoke, vote, everything an adult could do. The thing is, I was still a kid, on the inside. That is, until this year. I can narrow it down to two weeks in March, the weeks my childhood died. It all started with my teddy bear. I've had this bear since I was two years old, and I still slept with it. Then I discovered that...
