		<description><![CDATA[A Hawksley Workman song has been running around in my mind: Your Beauty Must Be Rubbing Off.  The theme behind it (or at least the one I’m feeling right now) is the idea what you love and admire in somebody else can foster those traits in you. I fell for a guy once. Met him [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s Valentine’s Day, single and flaked out on the couch, what better time to reminisce about that dating thing I vaguely remember doing. I don’t date often, so I usually date well, and first dates are generally a good time. Like that fella I met for a movie and we hit it off so well [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve got this great self-correcting feedback mechanism for unrequited love; it goes something like this: if I’m into you, I think you’re just the cat’s ass; thing is, I’ve got enough self esteem to know I’m pretty awesome too, and if you haven’t got the good sense to recognize that, well that shows a considerable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me tell you what I learned by recovering from a devastating break-up while working in a flower shop. Hearts are like flowers, beautiful when they are open, but once you sever them from the plant they come from there is only one foreseeable outcome: the flower will eventually wither and die. The timeline may [...]]]></description>

I’m not aspiring to oldmaidenhood, I’m a fan of the idea of relationships and that whole settling down having a family bit; kids are an awesome excuse to be able to play [...]]]></description>
