'perfume', hands down. i haven't seen the movie since it was in theaters (i think five years ago or so?) but i listen to that soundtrack all the time. it's so beautiful it's absurd. almost anything ennio morricone is a damn good choice, though. i've always been somewhat partial to the...

love is prioritizing another person above yourself, putting forth the work to make sure another person's needs are taken care of before you even begin to address your own. warm and fuzzy feelings are just a nice bonus.

i was a practicing neo-pagan (with a unitarian universalist pagan group) until about age 16 - at that time, i identified heavily with both classical and celtic mythology and the typical wiccan wheel of the year. my husband and i are both atheists now (well, i was always more or less an atheist...

as someone who regularly attends childbirth, nothing beats the moment when a baby is born. nothing. it's mind blowing. it's the greatest natural high in the world, even after i've been awake for 30+ hours helping a couple through natural labor and should by all means be ready to crash. man, i...

good god, i hope not. i live in saint louis, and when the cardinals won the world series there were people partying in the street all goddamn night.

yeah, i guess that's a whole different ballgame. i never expected someone to know if they wanted to have kids with ME right off the bat, but i did expect them to know if they wanted kids and to have put some thought into how many they wanted to have and what kind of parent they wanted to be...

i don't see why that would make you sound like a dick. if you aren't attracted to fat girls, or girls that are taller than you, then you obviously shouldn't be dating them. everyone judges people based on appearance on some level, even if (like me) they don't really have specific guidelines they...

this is how i weeded out unsuitable mates. i asked my husband how many kids he wanted and what his prospective timeline was on our first date. i figured if he hadn't started thinking about this by age 20, he wanted to wait way, way longer than i did.

i don't have a whole lot of specific physical dealbreakers - i have to be attracted to a person, sure, but i'm attracted to a whole lot of different types of people. fat guys have never been a problem for me, though my husband is ultra-slim. i couldn't ever date a religious person - even...

every woman i know loves dragon age. every last one of them. personally, my husband managed to get me into star wars AND PC-gaming in one stroke by letting me hijack his knights of the old republic II game. of course, i was already a console gamer since age five, so that might have been an...

"passion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience. it is not about feeling good. it is about endurance. like patience, passion comes from the same latin root: pati. it does not mean to flow with exuberance. it means to suffer." - mark z. danielewski "the criminal and...

yes, at least four. i wanted eight, initially, but my husband wasn't totally on board with that plan.

urban exploration - although it can be very dangerous and ambiguously legal, so research first. when all else fails, my life reverts to either 1. tarot and coffee, or 2. tabletop rpg's.

this is a pretty gross generalization of late teens/early twenties couples. i was married before i was 21.

no - i'm married to a man. married for over two years, together for over six.
