We have the booty
Excerpt from Fluke by Christopher Moore
Personally, I think that a sense of balance is best. There's nothing better, in my opinion, than a man who would do any & everything for his woman, & a woman who wouldn't think of taking advantage of that fact. A couple who wants the best for the other & does what they can do to support the other. Who dream, plan, & wish together for the best life for them as a couple & as individuals.
At the risk of sounding like an O'Henry story {Link} - I hope to have that relationship. I want to know that I'm #1 to somebody, that they would give anything for me - for what I wanted, what I needed. That they would be willing to give to me just as much as I would for them. Not just monetary, that's not where the heart resides - at least not for me. I want time, touch, & positive loving words. If you will give me your all, I will wholeheartedly return it & more to you.
"This is why we are the dominant species on the planet, because we have booty.""Technically, man is not the dominant species.... So man isn't really dominant, whether it's brains or booty.""Baby, I wasn't saying that man was the dominant species, I was saying that we are the dominant species. Wo-man.""Because you have booty?"She wiggled on his lap by way of an answer, then leaned her forehead against his, looked in his eyes."Good point," Clay said.

Rethinking
- "There is no dishonor in losing the race, there is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose."

Quotes that struck me at the time
- "But I'm a racer at heart, & a racer will never let something that has already happened affect what is happening now."
- "So much of language is unspoken. So much of language is comprised of looks & gestures & sounds that are not words. People are ignorant of the vast complexity of their own communication."

On a night like this
There are times that looking back over the past can be entertaining, painful, insightful, or enlightening. I've taken a picture a day for a year, twice. I have to admit it's nice to look over those pictures to get an instant reminder of that particular moment in time - what was going on in the world, my little corner of it, or my state of mind. Perhaps with this there may be a more telling view into my mind at the moment & for years to come.
Perfection, at least in a relationship, is really a myth. To quote the saying "there's only 2 imperfect people who are willing to overlook the flaws of the other". As I told someone just tonight -
"It's better to look for someone who is willing to put the work that is required for a successful relationship & someone who you're willing to do the same for. That the whole of the relationship is worth more than the individual parts."
There's a thought that love & relationships shouldn't be work that they should just be perfect or at least not require work or effort to maintain. But think about it. If you want to maintain something, say your house or car or even your hair color, you have to do some kind of maintenance or up keep with it. Why wouldn't a relationship between 2 different individuals with their own thoughts, hopes, dreams, & feelings take some work to maintain?
