Thank you guys so much for the positive response! I was a bit worried; writing is not my strong point!

Thank you again.

Lex, you are far too sweet (and biased!). Thank you, beautiful.

Images dancing across the canvas of the mind
Memories embellished into intoxicating daydreams
That envelop the imagination
And force its aperture to widen

A picture show of flooding flashes:
Fingertips gliding on his skin
Lips lightly moisten the neck
Thighs brush against each other flirtatiously

The eyes are blinded from the true
And drown in the inviting creation
The body is persuaded to follow the vision
And adds to the spectacle as the whole is submerged

A shiver of tiny bumps become visible on the skin
A dampness between the legs radiates warmth
Breaths and beats become erratic and robust
A rush of elation complementing body to brain

There is no desire for egress
Drowning never seemed so irresistible.
A sound or similar distraction shatters the illusion
Reality rapes the mind
The eyelids open; the curtains close.

Dedicated to my muse, Lex

Personally, I think it's just an overused phrase that tries to express that the person has had some bad previous experiences (like everyone has) and hopes that they have passed that usually inevitable phase. I don't think it's meant to be condescending; it just shows a sense of frustration.

You have to make a choice and try to let one down as easily as possible. Be honest with them both. If you lie or make up an excuse to the one you don't choose to be with, it would be extremely rude, possibly hurt her even more in the end, and might find out the truth anyway. Tell the one you let down how "someone else" is more compatible but make sure to tell her how wonderful you think she is as well and how she will find someone better suited for her.

Yes, someone will get hurt. But if you are honest, it will hurt them much less in the long run. Be careful making your decision and good luck.

Awful. I spent the week packing, cleaning, and running around getting ready to move.

I met the love of my life online.

This is a tough one. I'd have to say the Atari 2600 or original Nintendo. Nothing beats Pong, Space Invaders, Zelda, and a bit of Mario.

The Godfather: "Leave the gun, take the cannolis."

House of the Dead: "We broke up so I could study and she could fence."

Anchor Man: "Hey, everybody! Come and see how good I look!"

Absolutely beautiful.
