You know you are a romantic when........

this is the kind of "comment: you take pleasure in leaving on MYSPACE:

"I found her walking along the edge of the docks towards the end of my time there. Her hair was as black as the oil-slicked water beneath the pilings. Her face was sardonic and beautiful, eyes knowing, tracking my thoughts, my torn and inconsequential ideas. She gave that slightly wicked chuckle towards the end of my speech, tenative. I felt like a giant beside her, thick waisted and clumsy. We walked and the fog blew through our hair and white cold fingers. I knew I'd always see her again.
Distance was nothing to us, our friendship renewed wherever we had left off before, no remorse or apologies for our diverging lives. I treasured that. I always will.
Night closed around us and so did time. I left her tiny figure in the shadow of the lighthouse. I'd find my way back in the morning and look for footprints and find only ash."

that was for Jess.

One of my favorites: Yoshitaka Amano. An Asian homage to Klimt, with a delicate and rapturous line quality that is utterly stunning. I have his book of prints, but want one of his painting books. The color, the pattern, THE SPACE he can create- all are amazing and sensual. Oh!
