So I read in the Uncle Johns Big Bathroom Reader: "Most sought after prize to find in a Cracker Jack box: toy ring. Why: Often used as engagement rings."
Who has actually found the Cracker Jack ring? Not me.
I realize that part of my many problems is the fact that nothing is ever perfect. Not that everything should be. But it seems that every single romantic relationship I have ever ben in lacked something. Those grand moments like the first time you jumped out of a plane or the excitement of graduating never seemed to happen for me. First sexual experience with someone you love is one thing, but what about marriage and children. I cannot fathom the sensation of these things.
Lost momentarily. Stupid brain.

My heart's desire is to find that special someone to share my life with. What would I do? Hmm, well I 'll tell you what I wouldn't do. I wouldn't sacrifice my character, beliefs, or friends. But, I would definitely go to great lengths for the right girl.

So, brain working not so well.
Everything mentioned previously is part of my hearts desire. I hope,(as GED mentioned), to find that one woman to share life with. Its not just romance and love, but its also the hope of finding the missing piece that still is a mystery to me. There has always been some sad, lifeless spot that never seems to go away. Even when I feel my face smiling there always is discomfort in my grin.

No, I don't read in the bathroom. My whole theory on that is that we sit down a whole lot more than the guys. There's nothing special about sitting. If I have to sit for a long time, it's time to analyze how much fiber I'm getting in my diet.
Men on the other hand only sit approx. 50% of the time. It's almost a novelty. A break. Why not read and relax?
Heart's desire: This is very strange to write my heart's desire after writing about reading in the restroom.
My heart's desire is to have many, many nice horses, the time to ride them all, and the money to keep them and show them how I wish to. Oh, and a man to share my life with. Heh....
The man only comes second because I think that is an easier goal than the horse thing. 
Mothering: I think certain things about women make nuturing/care-giving easier. For instance, we've got the boobs and are thusly the food source. Anyone who has spent time around animals (and yes, I am going to compare raising children to raising training animals...if more people treated child-rearing like that, we'd have a lot better behaved children) you quickly see that the animals bond with the primary caregiver. The one who meets those immediate needs. The first few months of a child's life, that is mommy...unless definite pains are taken to allow daddy to be viewed as the caregiver as well. But going and getting munchkin and passing it off to momma to milk is not caregiving (although it is nice that mom doesn't have to get outta bed ).

All the women I know do. Also, some of us read in the tub. Its nice to soak, relax and read. But it can destroy a book pretty quickly when you fall asleep.

Reading about reading in the restroom then writing about it.
Okay, I am slow. Took a sec to understand what I wrote. Strangely I got it right the first time.
Think if you found a rich guy that likes to stay in shape with manual labor you'd be set.

I do read in the bathroom, but then again, you rarely see me without a book. A lot of the women in my family have this genetic condition where we have a compulsion to read constantly. In fact, if we don't have a book with us, we become severely cranky and irrational. It's a real condition, honest. 
EDIT: By the way, cool sig, NV.

Maybe I'm the exception to this, but I have never been one to spend excessive time in the bathroom. I tend to take care of business and leave.
I would put a snarky remark here about getting that out of my system when I was a teenager, but since I don't ever plan to grow up too much... 
So who is he?
He's my husband.
