Damn my eyes...

...For leading me to every pretty girl in existence! My rotten, overly romantic synapses are firing on all enamored cylinders again, and sure enough, another beautiful girl has walked into my life. Logically, this would not be viewed as anything resembling a bad thing, however, when in the presence of true beauty, I discover how deeply I can truly loathe myself. Only when confronted with something so outlandishly pulchritudinous (look it up) that I am struck with awe, am I able to reach the dizzying depths of my self esteem. Nothing puts your own life into perspective than observing someone who is so outrageously good at something ( even if it is simply being gorgeous) that there is no need for them to try. Anyway, I digress, my point is merely that I cannot afford to be in love. I just don't have the time! Look how much time I've wasted typing this long winded explanation, when I could be doing something constructive ( like all the course work I have yet to finish), but no, I will fritter away my time with childish imaginings, all because my blasted teenage, hormone addled brain can't look a pretty girl in the eyes without making my icy heart melt into a rose tinted puddle of uselessness. Well, if I'm going to write about it, I might as well make a list for it. hm, what haven't I done yet, I know!
Here are my top five Romantic Gestures ( yes I know how weak a pretense this is, but please, bear with me)

1. A single rose -How much more classy does it get? nothing says " let's get it on" like one blood red rose (besides Marvin Gaye of course)
2. A mix tape -Music screams the words that we are afraid to say, and "I Love You" is no exception.
3. A portrait -If done right, a portrait can betray all of the subtle feelings of the painter, and if the subject is loved, then the painting will be that much better.
4. A song - Going back to music, if you have the knack for it, why not express your thoughts with an acoustic guitar and your scratchy mid-pubescent voice? Really, it can't be THAT bad.
5. I Love You -Just say it. Really. It's that simple, not much is more romantic than just being honest about your feelings, and if that means shouting it to the heavens, then do it.

If you're still reading, thanks for riding out my incessant ranting, and I hope that your romantic misadventures are at least less painful/useless/hilarious than mine, good night.
