And so it begins

What brought this on?

Well, a lot of things. I've been thinking about a soulmate for a really long time. People say little girls dream of their weddings. Of big fluffy dresses and huge flowers. I don't really remember that. What I do remember is being fascinated by love. Or what my notion and understanding of love was. I have seen so many movies over the years, read so many books. Most of my friends know I adore Jane Austen and I do happen to find some of Nora Roberts books entertaining. Mostly when they're fantasy based. I have been in love with love since I was a little girl. And I'm just now starting to truly understand what that means. So maybe this is more about me discovering something.

I can tell you a few things about me. I'm a writer. I work with computers. I love music and would probably go nuts without it. My friends are like family to me and my relationship with my family could use some work. Which it's getting now. I have nearly as many romantic comedies in my DVD collection as I have action or science fiction movies. I ship. Hard core. I don't read as much as I used to, at least not actual books and I hate that. I make all kinds of promises to myself when it comes to writing and sometimes I have a hard time sticking to that.

Don't be mistaken. I know that Romeo himself doesn't exist. And I'm not hoping that some random guy sees this blog and decides that I'm his long lost soulmate. But this is an exploration of my ideas of romance. What I love and what I hate. What makes me take. I want to write a novel that has romance at it's heart, so I think it's only fair to figure out what is romantic to me.

What will be in this blog? Ramblings. Expect those. Book reviews. Movie reviews. Music that I love. Maybe I'll find what I'm looking for along the way. But it's time I stopped sitting around complaining.
