I love it when the story dictates, and then it isn't even about me anymore, it is about these characters made from my own words, and they are calling the shots.MOVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782183723607923501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444868620384897426.post-46165886461817920642012-02-12T06:36:58.305-08:002012-02-12T06:36:58.305-08:00i agree w Deus. we all have something that we can ...i agree w Deus. we all have something that we can love unconditionally.Templeton's furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569680717037747033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444868620384897426.post-25865360737590190002012-02-11T22:50:55.015-08:002012-02-11T22:50:55.015-08:00I love the unexpected.

My brother-in-law, at his wedding dinner, said he decided to marry his bride because she understood that when he wasn't fishing for work, he'd be fishing for recreation. She's very young, he's 40. I crossed my fingers that they don't have kids.<br /><br />I think it was a perfect love scene and very clever.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428202747324083680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444868620384897426.post-86426370127078156642012-02-10T18:37:50.389-08:002012-02-10T18:37:50.389-08:00Nice!
