    --Robert Jordan, in 'Lord of Chaos' (part of the the Wheel of Time series).
    Explains why it took me so long to find a guy I can stand; I just kick more ass than all of 'em! :)

  • "He's everything you want
    He's everything you need
    He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be
    He says all the right things
    At exactly the right time
    But he means nothing to you and you don't know why . . . "
    --Vertical Horizon

  • "I'm tired of having to raise every girl I date!!"--the Jukebox Hero

  • "If you really want a nice guy, stop dating good-looking assholes."
    --source unknown, but goddess knows I've heard it a few times
    ( . . . even once from a good-looking asshole)
    (you know who you are! . . . & if you don't, email me & I'll tell you).

  • "Was a time when I wasn't sure
    But you put my mind at ease
    There is no doubt you're in my heart now . . . "

  • "My definition of the perfect relationship is a friend you can fuck."
    --a remark I made to someone (forget who) in mid-autumn 1998.
    One of these days I will learn to not say things that I may find highly ironic later . . .

  • "You were the one who made things different
    You were the one who let me in

  • A Conversation . . .
    "You're in love with him."
    "Nah. I'm repressing that this week."
    --anonymous

  • "Love is a four-letter word that nobody understands."
    --just about the only profound thing that Asshole Boy ever said (I found out later he stole it from someone else).

  • "If you decided you were gay, I'd get a sex change."--one of the sweetest
    (if strangest) things a guy has ever said to me. :-)

    But that's the best and safest view . . ."--awesome & sadly true song lyrics from Francis Chilcoat.

  • "It's those restless hearts that never mend . . . "--Eagles, 'New Kid In Town'

  • A Conversation:
    Woman: "I need to know--are you involved with anyone?"
    Man(thinking): "Does self-involved count?"
    --from the movie 'Nothing In Common,' a true '80's flick if there ever was one.

  • "You were vulnerable enough to allow someone to see the real you, and they fled screaming in the opposite direction.
    Well, that's their problem."--Rich Hall, of SNL.

  • "Love, if it makes her yield, makes her hate."--Alexander Pope

  • "Friends can be lovers and lovers can be friends . . . "--some old song, quoted to me by Elvin, years ago.

  • "When you grow up your heart dies."--that chick in 'The Breakfast Club.'
