Or reading the book, for that matter.<br /><br />Minx: And maybe you're right. Maybe it's more of a dichotomous thing than I mentioned. True Love wears so many faces, after all.

Perhaps it can be a love that is dark and light, that is challenger and protector, that is pure and true when together or apart.<br /><br />Intimate, beautiful and touching, PB...Cheeky Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13124179916906624342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689622098160989072.post-88420984811953860342010-10-16T08:52:43.773-05:002010-10-16T08:52:43.773-05:00No, no, True Love in capital letters is indeed the...No, no, True Love in capital letters is indeed the noblest, but that's not what you said.

I appreciate that!<br /><br />Re: word length -- I think over the next couple weeks I'm going to see what people can do with a less restrictive word length, then I'll maybe do an ultra-short one, 40-60 words or something like that. <br /><br />Tell you what, for the pic you sent, you get to pick the word length too, how's that? :)<br /><br />-- PBThe Panserbjørnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10643891392421573706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689622098160989072.post-14851563370514414602010-10-15T11:57:12.311-05:002010-10-15T11:57:12.311-05:00Great take, PB.

Well done :)<br /><br />In regards to the challenge itself: It's really enjoyable when you use word counts that are very limited (such as this week's). It seems to stretch us more, and forces us to find new creative ways to communicate our ideas.<br /><br />~SorenSorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189714480109938747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689622098160989072.post-51971478325315813232010-10-15T10:03:56.413-05:002010-10-15T10:03:56.413-05:00Lexi: It's a non-religious wedding, held down ...Lexi: It's a non-religious wedding, held down at the county courthouse (or other similar office).

I like the angle though; it's a good way to go.

You and I are a lot alike in that respect, I'd say. Being a sappy romantic, that is. I *know* you're not worthless or ugly, so that doesn't even enter into the equation. :)<br /><br />Katia: I'll add you to the list when I get a chance.
