Ok, what incredibly stupid things have you done in the name of love?
Why was this stupid? Well, I'm Dutch and she is Australian. They were two loooooong flights (to & fro) and a very short chat...
Beat that level of stupidity... 🙂

In high school, this girl Lauren was in love with me for like a year, and I didn't love her at all, then once she stopped showing interest in me I suddenly started to really like her (of course!). Anywho, she started seeing other guys and for months and months I was doing all I could to get in contact with her: emails, phone calls, seeing her in the hallways, crossing rooms for her, etc etc. She eventually told me to just leave her alone, which really hurt at the time. But yeah, if you could have seen all I went through and how much time I spent just trying to get her to respond to me, you'd whack me across the head! 🙄

We have all been made to think we are stupid.That is different.
Rejection makes you feel stupid,but it does not mean you are.

i have never done anything foolish.
it is just not in me.
i never do any of that mushy, wushy romantic stuff either.
it is just too mushy, wushy.
well, actually, i guess that's not completely correct. a couple of years ago on our 22nd (or may be it was the 21st or was it the 20th?) anniversary, i did try to do something that would be considered romantic and i did it in front of several friends too, even though it really wasn't the sort of thing i do.
i thought i'd surprise everyone by demonstrating to them that i could manage to show a different side of me.
we had several people over and to demonstrate my appreciation and acknowledgement of our long, long, long years together, i played a famous and beautiful, black spiritual just for my wife in front of all these people on the harmonica (which as some of you know can be a most poignant instrument). it was a touching solo performance and nearly brought tears to my eyes.
however! no one else and especially my wife seemed to appreciate my efforts and everyone got mad at me! i didn't even get to finish playing that beautiful, black spiritual 😠
in friendship,

Once in a fit of anger, cut the buds off the dozen roses I was given by my former wanker boyfriend. 😀

how often does one get to hear a beautiful, black spiritual played on the harmonica on one's anniversary?
how often would our friends hear me playing a beautiful, black spiritual on the harmonica to my wife of so many long, long years?
it is incomprehensible the way they all reacted to this deeply romantic gesture of mine drawn from the depths of music and lyrics, thought out with such meticulous meaning, and executed with such panache and passion. just incomprehensible i tell you!
in friendship,
