metadigital Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Flowers are nice especially if they are red roses. Some of you men are just not romantic. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What is romantic about giving a loved one a fading gift? Giving flowers is like giving death. And why are artificial flowers a big no no. They last forever, like our love. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, that's a good message: artificial flowers for artificial love! The point is that the flowers, like love, need to be re-sent, reinforced, re-expressed. Love is an inherently insecure state of mind: if you've been in love you'll know that, if you haven't then take it from me.

Walsingham Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 new subject: poetry. When I was young I would write poems for my girlfriends, and they were uniformly unimpressed.

metadigital Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I don't know many shops that sell bunches of say, wild primroses, bluebells and crocuses. But then, I don't frequent florists, lol. I meant a really obviousely wild bunch, which I personally would think of as very romantic. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Me too. But remember, it's the thought of the guy spending money that counts So no matter where you get the flowers, make sure she thinks you paid a heavy price for them. Like a kidney or something. Only then, will she know you love her. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If this is true for your putative marriage, and you don't like it (I wouldn't), then get out now. new subject: poetry.

Walsingham Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 :D I suppose I could just be rubbish at poetry. "It wasn't lies.

metadigital Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Read up on some Romantics stuff. Shakespeare did some good stuff (although I think it is all a bit repetitive) ...

Walsingham Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Pah. I still say that poetry just isn't the best way to get a message across. You're better off speaking with actions than words when it comes to the heart. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

metadigital Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Writing poetry is easy. Writing good poetry is hard. On my reading list is Stephen Fry's The Ode Less Travelled (Christmas present), which looks interesting. Coincidentally, one of the appendices of my Latin textbook I am currently reading has a section on verse.

Walsingham Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 All the same, the more I think about it the more I recall instances where actually climbing that highest mountain carries more weight than simply saying you would.

One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
