"When two people fall in love there's a sudden rush of magic..."
�...Magic is just naturally present then. We tend to feed on that gratuitous magic without striving to make any more. One day we wake up and find that the magic is gone. We hustle to get it back, but by then it's usually too late, we've used it up. What we have to do is work like hell at making additional magic right from the start. It's hard work, but if we can remember to do it, we greatly improve our chances of making love stay.�
�Who knows how to make love stay?
Tell love you are going to the Junior's Deli on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn to pick up a cheesecake, and if love stays, it can have half. It will stay.
Tell love you want a memento of it and obtain a lock of its hair. Burn the hair in a dime-store incense burner with yin/yang symbols on three sides. Face southwest. Talk fast over the burning hair in a convincingly exotic language. Remove the ashes of the burnt hair and use them to paint a mustache on your face. Find love. Tell it you are someone new. It will stay.
Wake love up in the middle of the night. Tell it the world is on fire. Dash to the bedroom window and pee out of it. Casually return to bed and assure love that everything is going to be all right. Fall asleep. Love will be there in the morning.�
------ Two of my favorite quotes by my favorite author. If you already know them, we probably ought to know each other! :-)
That being said, I do believe in magic and in love (possibly that the two are inseparably intertwined). However, I have become disenchanted as of late. As such, I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for here. I do feel like I'm missing something. I miss that spark, that intrigue, that maaagic. I'm not necessarily looking for only a relationship. A good friend would be just as wonderful. I'm definitely not looking to get into somebody's pants - in fact, it's the farthest thing from my mind right now. Sex without emotion to me is well... boring.
Me: I'm not your average guy... or your average human at that. My beliefs and lifestyle are anything but those of mainstream society. I believe in personal freedom and expression. Individuality is very important to me. I consider myself open-minded, intelligent, and humorous (but I guess that depends on your sense of humor - mine might be a little twisted). I enjoy reading (mostly philosophy, metaphysics, paranormal, etc.), all kinds of music (from indie hiphop to Celtic), hiking, swimming, camping, and bonfires. I believe there is a much greater world out there than meets the eye, and learning and experiencing as much of it as possible is a constant goal.
You: You're not the average girl. I hope that you are an individual, thinking for yourself, not following in the footsteps of others. You have a love for life and a love of yourself (for you can never truly love somebody until you first can love yourself). You can consider yourself intelligent and informed - and I don't mean mainstream media here. (Real) knowledge is power. Ideally you're a free-spirited, counter-culture, gypsy of sorts (this isn't necessarily a requirement).
Is any of this interesting at all? I hope so.
You know what to do. ;-)
