What if we miss our soul mate? Do we have another one? <BR/><BR/>Here was the blog post I told you about that my friend Joe wrote. I like to believe him--I think, in a way, it's much more romantic--<BR/>http://nastyconjugation.com/2007/02/11/valentine/<BR/><BR/>Also--That Natasha Bedingfield song was HILARIOUS!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04349631448644661717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349575597905191965.post-29838291518036224252008-05-11T16:43:00.000-06:002008-05-11T16:43:00.000-06:00I know you're shocked to discover that I quoted Ni...I know you're shocked to discover that I quoted Nick Hornby the other day, but I did quote that exact passage about pop music in a very similar discussion of chick flicks and what they are selling, and what we can see about how women view themselves in modern society. Anyway, we are so on the same wavelength. I would also add this HiFi quote: <BR/><BR/>Rob: The other girl, or other women, whatever. I mean, I was thinking that, they are just fantasies, you know? And they always seem really great, because there's never any problems. And if there are, they are the cute problems, like we bought each other the same Christmas present, or she wants to see a movie I've already seen, you know. Then I come home... and you and I have real problems, you don't want to see a movie I want to see, period. There's no lingerie...<BR/><BR/>Laura: I *have* lingerie!<BR/><BR/>Rob: You have *great* lingerie! But you also have cotton underwear that's been washed a thousand times, and it's hanging on the thing, and... And they have it too, it's just that I don't have to see it, because it's not in the fantasy... I'm tired ot the fantasy, cause it doesn't really exist. And there are never really surprises and it never really...<BR/> <BR/>Laura: Delivers? <BR/><BR/>Rob:Delivers. Right.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146712908783996112noreply@blogger.com
