@jane-maree  –  Thanks for the tips! I especially love the 90% better one. I find that’s true with just my good friends. I only see them once a week at church, and it just makes my whole day better.

@wordsmith  –  I’ll post it up here after these answers. And “Who knows when the board might punch back?”… best response to that story I’ve ever gotten. 😀

@ericawordsmith  –  Oh, I know… break up love songs… I hate them.

Eowyn and Faramir… I’m sorry, I just have to rant a little about how PERFECT THEY ARE!!!!! Eowyn believes she’s fallen in love with Aragorn, but truly I think she was just ‘in love’ with the idea of what he was; a ranger, free, a king, powerful, a warrior, brave, and I think she also saw him as a person that could take her away from the life she felt trapped in. But Faramir, Faramir was the man she really needed. A man who’d been through the same things, who could help her grieve and and love her like she needed. THEY ARE SO PERFECT PERFECT PEEEEEEEEEERFECT!!!!! Oh, and I have read the Viking Quest series, and I was sooo happy!!! And Martin Hospitality; I literally have it sitting right next to me on the couch! Love it!

Yeah, the strong female and weak guy, really trying to stay away from that. I’ve read several books with male characters that are writers and the author of the book makes them sort of wimpy, snowflake, emotional people, and I don’t like that at all. I’m sorry to girls that don’t like this, but you’ve just got to face it that we are the weaker sex and guys are God ordained protectors and fighters.

I’m hoping for not too much angst, because she has enough on her plate and I’d like it not to get too close to the over-dramatic ‘oh i like him no i don’t he loves me he dumped me i hate him i love him’ stories that are so annoying. The heart-conflict that definitely comes with the territory of falling in love i’m hoping to fit in a little of, but since I think I’ve decided to keep it a very small part and only reveal it at the end, there won’t be much.

Yeah, that pic is perfect! Not that the guys I know try to be romantic with me, but they’re definitely more like the second in real life. No offense to any guys, but you’ll never be able to understand us completely in everything, so you can’t be the perfect sweetheart all the time.

I would definitely agree falling in love just happens sometime – I have a story I have to tell of my great-grandparents. Just after the Great Depression my grandfather was working down in a mine somewhere in the west and he told one of his friends, “I’m going to catch a train up to Chicago and see if Blank Blank will marry me.” Seriously. He’d only met her once or twice, they weren’t even great friends, but he took a train up to Chicago, asked her to marry him, and she said yes. They were married for many years and have left a legacy of godly marriages down to my parents. I think it’s absolutely amazing.
