Thanks, Whitefall! Every time I drink Sake now, I remember that line. 
It's ok, though, I can't sing all that well!

So since we're on the subject of music...
I once had a vision of my wedding. Strange that I could not see who I was marrying or the faces of the people attending, but I felt I knew all of them and we were slow dancing to a Buddy Holly song (Sounded like True Love Ways).
It was very out of character for my usual line of dreaming. I had no romantic persuits and no need for romance at the time. But it certainly felt like a cold splash in the face.
So, what do my fellow Browncoats see as romantic?
There has been very little romance in the lives of those before me. I feel the need to live a little more that them.
The one thing I wish to do is the only thing romantic I ever heard of my grandparents doing.
There is a hill outside of Dayton, Nevada just off highway 50 where they would stop and have lunch while traveling, but only when they were alone. People passing by would see them sitting together under a tree sharing lunch and talking. They spoke to each other very little when other folks were around and never showed any affection in public. Yet they had this one spot where, in full view of the highway, they were friends.
As strange as it sounds, that is romance to me. Though, it was a different time, I still feel the need to have that.
Just wondering about all of your views of romance.

lucky you, last dream i remember was about socks >.<
i suppose it does just manifest differantly, and it's true, female swaggering would be a bit on the odd side 8-)
ehm, as for romance, i'm really not sure what i consider romantic these days, used to have very set idea's abouw what i did and didn't consider romantic gesture's, nowadays, not so much really, alot less certain about it.

Many of my most romantic moments involve spontaneous dancing. Slow dancing, that is. And not while we're out dancing, but at home, or the park...someplace semi-private. Just being caught up in each other and the music and having to get as close as possible, without going any further. The world just melts away....

Ok, seriously now, romance... I think romance is sharing something with someone else when they get the same feeling out of it that you do. Whatever it is. Though of course it helps that it's something you love, but it sorta needs to be something the other person likes equally.
So it can be romantic to keep secrets, or romantic to tell them, romantic to dance with someone else, or to just sit, romantic to talk, romantic to speak silently...... the list goes on.
I think romance, unlike beauty (being in the eye of the beholder and whatnot), is in the eye of both beholders at once.
Ok, thats enough philosophizing for now.

Oh yea! You get me Nathan and I'll take care of the rest.
(actually dance should be a little slower, so slow you're hardly dancing, but you and the object of your affection know your dancing. Otherwise it's just hugging. :hahaha: But again, Nathan can dance as fast or slow as he wants...I'll follow along).

I don't know if this counts but a wedding on the beach sounds pretty darn romantic to me. Just a small little ceremony with a beautiful girl on a beach (of course at sunset somehow). That sounds pretty romantic to me.

hmmm one of the things I think is romantic is that my husband likes every part of who I am. Whether I dress up or not, whether I am happy or sad, whether I am changeable or fixed, he likes me...not just loves me, he likes me and that's romantic:)

MSG, that's the way I feel about my wife...if with a somewhat different slant. I love my wife no matter what; if I'm angry, depressed, aloof, sick, hungry, away, etc. No matter what mood I am in, or she is in, I love her completely. That is how I know she is "the one"...don't get me wrong, I like her, too, I just love her all the time!
