So much love......

HALLO!

And Happy Valentine's Day!

I would have drawn a cute picture, but unfortunately I've been horrifically ill the last couple of days. (And I do mean horrifically. I'll leave the rest to your imagination.) Today is my comeback, I think. But I am wiped out. You know: get up, brush hair, take an hour nap? Yeah. It's been that kind of day. Sigh.

On to happier subjects! It is Valentine's Day! Which means.... uh.... You know, I had  a thought there... I seem to have forgotten it. Hmmm.

So anyway, let's talk romance. I know, I  know  that this is basically the same kind of post everyone else is doing, but hey ho.

I'm going list five types of things that put me in the Valentine's mood.

1.) MUSIC! Music is definitely one of the things that can put me in a sappy mood in seconds. Don't know why. It's weird. But here are a few of my favorite love songs:

Josh Groban- You Are Loved. Face it, people. Those are some of the best lyrics you have ever heard!

Hayley Westenra- My Heart Belongs to You.

Josh Groban- For Always. (The song doesn't start until 1:43-ish. But it was the only version of him singing it solo that I could find, and it's better solo. :)

And now I insert a random country song, because.... I just really love it.
John Michael Montgomery- I Can Love You Like That

Probably the best love song from Disney ever...

And one more Josh songs, just because it's Josh and he's my favorite. =)

2.) PICTURES! Pictures also have the sappy effect on me. My Pinterest board is laden with silly pictures. :)

3.) MOVIES! Or more specifically, movie couples. :)

    1.) Return to me. Adorable. Probably one of my favorite romances of all time. (A couple of off color conversations but nothing too horrid.)

    2.) Cinderella Man-- Okaaay. Not technically a romance. More of a boxing movie. Bit violent. But the relationship between Jimmy and Mae is very cute and realistic. 

     3.) Kate and Leopold - Hugh Jackman. 'Nuff said. 

4.) Doctor Who's Amy and Rory

4.) BOOKS!!

     1.) Lark by Sally Watson. Seriously, seriously cute book. I haven't met anyone who hasn't loved it yet. :)

     2.) The Sherwood Ring. You want romance? Go for it. 

     3.) Sorcery and Cecilia- or the enchanted chocolate pot. Hilarious. Cute. Awesome. 

5.) QUOTES! Quotes have a weird effect on me. Just sayin'.

   

And there you go. I hope the length of this post did not frighten you away.

As for me, I am not in love or even seeing anybody on the horizon to  love. But that's okay, you know. I'm only a likkle person still, and I have some time. I'm not ready to be married. But one day.... right? :)

So today this is me.

God bless and Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

I'm going to go take a nap.

Respect the thing!

Six Random Facts

1.) I love little kids. They are the most amazing small things. I want lots if I ever get married. 

2.) I'm not sure what kind of a niche I fit into as a blogger. My posts tend to be random and odd. (Which, judging from the title, I guess is to be expected...) I don't really get into the deep, well thought out posts--I enjoy reading them, but personally have the hardest time writing them. The closest I get is the one I did back in October.

But I don't do the well written kind either. I don't do 2000 word, pictureless novels every post. (because those take forever and honestly... I don't have time to write or read another essay-ish thing when my schoolwork has me doing that all day anyway.) 

I post pictures of my drawings. Which, when I think about it, actually seems a bit presumptuous, like, "Here is my art! Love it!" 

I don't keep to a strict schedule. I post whenever I feel like it, and if I'm in a rut.... sorry. I've tried posting in the ruts, and let's be honest, those posts tend to be a bit rubbish. :)

So it always surprises me when I get a new follower, and I just wanted to let you know that it really does make my day when I know that someone is interested enough in my ramblings and weirdness to want to read more. So thanks loads to all of you guys. You're awesome. =)

3.) My Pinterest addiction might be getting a wee bit out of hand. *blushes* I believe I shall give it up for Lent. 

And OKAY! I just wasted several minutes on pinterest finding those.... see what I mean? Addiction. 

4.) All the girl's names in my family end in A. Teresa, Maria, Katrina, Amanda, Isabella.... et cetera.  There are ten girls. That's a lot of A's. This is the family picture for this year.... but it's missing two sisters. They're married. :)

5.) I cried over almost every Redwall book. I know it's corny, crying over animals like hares and mice and squirrels. But they were warrior hares, mice, and squirrels, and when they die, it sort of breaks your heart. (or at least it did for me.... Brian Jacques wrote them well and they're awesome books.)

The Castaways of the Flying Dutchman series is also good, and a for a little older than Redwall. I miss Brian Jacques. 

6.) This song is awesome and I love it. 

And there you go. Another random, nonsensical post. 

Cheers!
