As I converse with the Lord of Transylvania on matters of
the heart and body, I spy a figure in the sky... We end
our talk as the figure circles us on her broom and gracefully
lands by my side... A lovely lady, garmented in light from
her own beauty... She greets me with kind words and waves
her Golden Wand of which I have heard marvelous talk...
I am covered, literally covered, with Golden Majique Romance
Dust... A feeling of warmth and light-headedness enfolds me,
akin to the feeling when the Good Witch first appeared, but
perhaps slightly stronger... I sit, and she joins me...
I dare not ask a kiss...
I dare not beg a smile...
Lest having that, or this,
I might grow proud the while...
But I can not resist, and she permits me to kiss her cheek...
I am content... I will rest a time with her and then continue
to explore this fascinating and wonderful realm...

	The truth there!  There is so much I would have missed if I
would have gone the way of lust or whatnot first.  Of course, things
can start out that way.  If Catherine wasn't visually pleasing first,
I would have not really taken a second glance.  And if I wouldn't have
taken that second glance, I would STILL be missing out on things.  Of
course, it helped that she gave me a hug.  Here, a gal I hadn't known
for more than two hours (and most of the time wasn't spent with here
at all) and she gives me a hug!  Whew.

	But that was when I knew I wanted to have her.  Ah, but I
wasn't the kind to make the first move.  Luckly she hung around with
another friend of mine, and then one day, Cathy alone came to my
apartment to watch a movie with me.  I'll never forget...  Ladyhawke
and my first kiss with Catherine.  Hm...  I'll never forget...

	But there is a lot missed if you were to forego the romance.
It wouldn't be as fun/attractive/intense without the romance.  THAT is
what I enjoy about the whole deal.  As I have said before, I only made
one mistake.  I didn't follow my own rule: Never date a beautiful
woman.  It causes jealousy.

	But, I have to deal with that now...  and God, I wouldn't have
it any other way!

>>>Exactly, my love.  I never understood that until about a year ago :)

>*giggle*  Oh Erin...you're so silly....and jealous that Steven swept me
>away before you could. *kiss on cheek*  Well, you have Cathy now and isn't it
>wonderful how things worked out!

	Ok.  Granted, I was attracted to Julie at a point (and I still
find her attractive), but it's not QUITE like that...  ;)  She's my
Mom now, and it might sound funny, but I actually picture her in that
role when I am here in Bloomington.  I would have been very proud to
have parents like them Salter people.  (Do you think that will keep
Steve from hurting me for flirting now?)  *Laugh*  I wouldn't trade
you two for the world!  (Ok...  Maybe a Lamborghini.)

	I am wondering, though.  What would the world be like with
romance?  I think I might write something to portray that.  But for
now, I know that if it wasn't for true love and romance, I would have
never heard the name "Steven" from Julie.  That's what I know right
now.

	Man, I get mushy, don't I?		Ugh...

first off, did I welcome you? If not here's a welcome, if so I guess

	  Welcome to ARCland, The Happiest Place On The Net!

as for a geography lesson.....well the meadow is always a nice place
for a spring picnic. There's an ocean but we haven't heard from the
pirates in absolutely ages - I guess they all fell off the edge of the
world. There's the castle. A bit sporadic at times but great fun when
its going well.

as for the people.....well I can't even begin - there are so many and
I would hate to miss anyone out but how about I introduce myself and
then others could do the same.

I'm clare, I'm hail from Auckland, New Zealand, and am madly in love
with a guy called Edouard (so the rest off you can just keep your
hands off him :-). When hanging around the castle, I'm Eowyn, a
fearsome warrior who is in love with Dark Knight (*no* relation to
Edouard). 

OK who's next?
