i've always noticed a lot of discussion of romance/love/future spouses/etc. in general in blogs, and the past couple of days i have noticed an extreme amount of it… and also due to events in my life as of late i've been thinking about it too.

tim has an interesting discussion going on over at .future.hope (see the feb 1e post that starts with "I've been in a very Coldplay state of mind"), and carly's got some interesting things to say in a recent post as well (see feb 18th's post "my entire life, i've come in second place". (my apologies, i couldn't figure out how to directly link).

and once upon a time last semester I signed up for a free issue of elle magazine and am still getting it (if there's anyone from elle out there reading this, please quit sending it to me, I don't want your magazine for the gazillionth time and I'm not gonna pay for it), and found the following this month in regards to what joshua jackson of dawson's creek fame looks for in a girl:

"A pulse is a good place to start," he jokes. "What I mean is, I try not to prejudge. Life would be boring if I said, 'Okay, all the blondes and redheads out, anybody over five-foot-seven out.' That would be more like catalogue shopping than romance."
