So Romantic!

Don't know if you've noticed, but I like Blog Gadgets.

I think I might even be slightly addicted to them because I start to get decidedly edgy and irritable until I've had a chance to find out what the Motivational Quote is for the day, which ye-olde type insult Shakespeare has for me to throw at my enemies (what exactly IS a pignut btw?) or even what my excuse ... ahem, sorry ... reason is for drinking that day. But I think my favourite (at the moment anyway) is the Date Tips gadget.

These tips intrigue me. Their author intrigues me. Who writes them? Has he (yes of course I'm assuming it's a male, no woman would classify going to a cave as a 'Hot Date') ever dated? I'm thinking NO.

His romantic gems have included:

Said trip to cave (do I really need to say more?)

Gathering colourful Autumn leaves and making collages for each other (Great ... if you're six)

Jumping on a trampoline (makes me queasy just thinking about it ... and nothing says "I love you" like vomit?)

Watch planes take off (!!!!)

Work out together (Does he mean sex?)

Going for a romantic walk on a beach (good so far) and singing a romantic love song to your date (nope, lost me now) ... can you imagine anything worse? You've had a lovely evening, nice meal, maybe a club for drinks and a slow dance followed by the moonlight walk along the beach, holding hands, bit of smooching ... and then he breaks into "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion (or more likely "Everything I do" by Bryan Adams) OMG! Talk about a passion killer! If you didn't run screaming in embarrassment you'd probably offend him for life by peeing yourself laughing. It's a no win situation.

So why do I have it on my Blog? Because it's hilarious! It gives me something to snicker at and write sarcastic posts about. End of.

And who knows, someone looking at my Blog might see it and be inspired to Casanovan greatness ... my Blog could be the unwitting tool of thousands of great love stories all over the globe! I like that idea! It's kinda cool!

On the other hand it could be the start of the end for thousands of budding relationships who could've given Romeo and Juliet, Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir and Kermit and Miss Piggy a run for their money had they just stayed away from trampolines and caves. Which reminds me ...
