Do you have a crush on anyone here at The Planet?

[WolfyOne]

I'll be the one admiring from afar

I have way too much going on in my personal life to travel right now

USPS will connect me in a thoughtful way

Oh I know but I don't think all of my romantic notions would stay on a line if I tried to throw it out!

Any why is that? Because, despite your beauty and cuteness, whenever I think of you I cannot get an image out of my mind of you playing the tambourine with some hippy band in an Irish bar one late, drunken night in Manila. That one moment left me emotionally scarred. There's something incredibly sordid, vulgar even, about that image of shaking the tambourine with willful abandon .... to make matters worse, I don't even think it was in tune with their Mr Tambourine Man song.

I'm starting to feel sick even thinking back to then but, in summary:

- Marriage Material? No
- Mistress Material? Sure thing.

Mistresses have more fun anyway ..... well, that's what they tell me




Gráinne

Our decades are shaped by mere moments. Had you not disclosed the Cl***land thing, then you'd soon by Mrs Ciaran and I'd have bought you a really nice apron and some trendy kitchenware (in fact, already ordered via Amazon - anyone want it at a discount?).

That said, the Cl***land thing would have come out eventually so best to avoid the heartbreak further down the line. I will try hard not to hold this vulgarity against you but I'm not sure if I will be able to, esp. with the baseball season starting soon.

I do not know whether to be flattered at your significant investment in my domestic skills, or ticked off at the Betty Crocker image I've somehow fostered. I see how it is-my name doesn't come to mind after the sentence: "People likely to stay out until stupid o'clock at an Irish bar dancing/karaoke-ing/banging a tambourine/whatever".

Clearly, I have gone awry in your perception of me.

I am as hardy as the winter winds blowing in that d*** stadium on the lake. We who call ourselves natives of Cl***land get used to the gasps, "Noooo's", and backing away at the mere mention of the C-word. Maybe it's DiMaggio's record being broken, or the time the city couldn't pay its own bills, or the Cuyahoga River catching on fire, or the genius who put giant tanks of natural gas in a residential neighborhood, we have surely seen it all. But just to show no hard feelings from the almost-Mrs. Ciaran, I will prepare a kielbasa with your name on it.

lol I think you might need a net and not a line...although I think then this just becomes kidnapping which may not be as romantic...hmmmm best stick to the line

You know all hope of romance has flown out the window when the last article you read was entitled "10 Flirty Fitness Dates".

Although, Naked Yoga WAS on the list. Anyone up for some Valentine yoga?

What weddings? This time 24 hours ago, I thought I would be getting married to three women. However, Dixie won't work out as she likes the bad ABBA songs, Espressolover won't work as she cannot play the tambourine and Gráinne (formerly Guihong) won't work as, well, she's from Cl***land.

I made it my resolution to get married during 2013 but my aspirations are crumbling around me. At this rate, I think I'll be marrying Cornelius in Little Rock in September.

Romantic gestures? I'm all for those. Will simply buy someone a plane ticket to London and book a meal in my favourite restaurant here for when she finally arrives. Travelling thousands of miles for a meal sounds a bit crazy but I do find that the best gestures are always under-stated.

I've never come across a lady before who wants to be associated with banging a tambourine. I hope it's not an euphemism. Don't know if I should be intrigued or scared. I am both.

I don't know of this Betty Crocker woman but she sounds nice - in fact, I think I'm in love with her name.

I always knew that there was a reason as to why I am increasingly theocratic. This is it.

You still have an option for a quickie Vegas wedding after tea and Italian leather.

Only if we can get an annulment and I can find perfect shoes...

*sigh* I thought surely I would be attending a destination wedding!

For now I am going to look forward to our glittery ABBA party!

[WolfyOne]

I want to thank all you crush crazy people for making me chuckle and smile on a day I wanted to do neither.

That is all, carry on

You're on.

Just two things.


Firstly, I'd prefer to get a divorce than an annulment. Annulment sounds so cold and, well, as though we were never married. Divorce would be better. Plus, I think that if I can describe myself as a "divorcee", it adds a certain mystique and can use it to attract some new women into my life.


Secondly, I was re-thinking the whole Vegas thing and it's a bit tacky. I want to get married in Iceland instead. Hope that's okay.


If this is agreeable to you, please let me know and I'll have my lawyer send through the financial status questionnaire plus the forms to sign over all your assets into my name.


I think I finally know what it feels like to fall in love.

This is amenable. Iceland it is. Excellent backdrop for the wedding photoshoot.
I'm thinking fjords and a winter color palette. I wonder if Vivienne Westwood does parkas?

Will have my lawyer forward the proper documentation.I think you would fair far worse in divorce proceedings. No pre-nup correct?

*off to google Icelandic divorce law*

(Still trying to find a way to travel the world, with or without a spouse and/or Valentine lol)

[lusciouskiwi]

Madam Elderly Puppykins and myself will be hiding away from all the revoltingly nauseating Valentine's stuff - easy for her to do since she has short legs. I'm going to hide out in an palm oil plantation.

I don't know of this Betty Crocker woman but she sounds nice - in fact, I think I'm in love with her name.

Betty Crocker is a brand name on baking mixes, boxed dinners, flour, and even yogurt. "She" has written a zillion cookbooks, many of which reside on my kitchen bookshelf.

Given my love of all things cooking and baking (note I didn't say talent, just a love), you gave me a most appropos name, Grainne, meaning "grain". Perhaps it should be my screen name. The nationality would finally be right.

I'm only peeking in, not stopping. Cupid has obviously improved on the archery skills. Carry on...
