I have been using Mirakee app, for more than a month, to unleash the writer in me.

Secrets of love is the recent one.
Which do you love?
Do you think there is a romantic writer in me?
Have you written love songs, stories, micro tales, poems?

Check me out in Mirakee, if you are already there. These two are my original and copyrighted writings.
out_of_my_heart is my pen name.

So, if I wanted to recreate myself in the Sims 3 or similar, the immediate first trait I would put on is "Hopeless Romantic" ("Hopeless romantics passionately seek their soul mate. They want romance, true love and surround themselves with cheesy romantic television and novels") just because I believe that I do engross myself in things I stumble across that *clicks* to me as great romanticism.

Case in point, I am pretty ignorant sometimes of mainstream music. Even great known songs that reached number 1 on music charts aka this specfic song, Perfect by Ed Sheeran. I have heard small parts of this song but never knew what it actually was or heard it all the way though. Well while I was at a job interview site, they had the radio on and I actually heard this song all the way though and was able to look it up. Next thing I know, I am emotionally attached to this song, having these intimate romantic daydreams of me and my wonderful girlfriend in a cute dress slow dancing under the stars on the top of a mountain to this song. I loved how much in detail certain lines of lyrics just *clicked* to me and how he sung it to engage my intense feelings of romanticism.

It makes me wonder, if you're a hopeless romantic out there, is it easier, harder, or similar to get emotionally attached to something you stumble upon?

In the argument over gay marriage a lot of people opposed it by claiming that marriage has been traditionally between a man and a woman. Traditionally marriage involved a lot of things such as love, romance, passion, sex etc... However, those aren't things you can really legislate because in a free society you don't dictate people's personal lives. Instead of looking at what marriage has been traditionally we should instead look at what it is legally. And legally speaking it is simply a financial contract between two individuals stating that they will jointly share their property and income. And guess what, people do get married for purely financial reasons all the time and sometimes both parties have relationships with people outside their marriage and both partners are aware and OK with it because the marriage had nothing to do with romance in the first place. Traditionalists may think that's wrong but like I said, this is a free society. So, from that perspective, it doesn't make any more sense to call a same sex marriage "homosexual" or a different sex marriage "heterosexual" any more than it would make calling any kind of financial contract homo or heterosexual because of the genders of the co-signers of said contract. And as such, if you're going to deny two individuals the right to enter into a financial contract with one another because of what genders they are; whether it'd be because both are male or both female OR because they are of the same or different genders, (no matter how you feel about homosexuality) you're violating their civil rights, that's all there is to.

Basically it's divorcing the same sex marriage debate from homosexuality.
