alien bookstores came earth girls magazines teen
If you were an alien who came to our bookstores - or browsed our teen magazines - you'd think that only Earth girls who look like Mila Kunis ever got any action.
decide extremely fall love people romantic selling terrible vague watch
When I watch a romantic comedy, I feel like they're selling something that doesn't exist. Two beautiful, but extremely unpleasant, people are terrible to each other for an hour, accidentally kiss, then decide to like each other during an extremely vague montage. That isn't how people fall in love.
attraction god thank
Attraction is what happens between you. It's not universal. And it's not conventional. And thank God for that.
romantic
It's very difficult, I think, especially on two cellphones, to have a romantic conversation.
came liked people
When 'Attachments' came out and people liked it, I'd have a warm feeling of having made a connection.
people
With fandom, people are sensitive, and sometimes defensive, about their experiences.

I can't seem to help writing love stories. I definitely crave romance. When I was young, I craved romance in books, but I didn't want to read just romance - love plays such a big part in our lives, it shouldn't be cut out and restricted to its own fiction.

hands alive facts
And sometimes you held somebody’s hand just to prove that you were still alive, and that another human being was there to testify to that fact.
autumn nurse grace
October, baptize me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup. October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace!
nice giving cost
You give away nice like it doesn't cost you anything.
soulmate love-you math
What are the chances you’d ever meet someone like that? he wondered. Someone you could love forever, someone who would forever love you back? And what did you do when that person was born half a world away? The math seemed impossible.
house parks praying
Until this moment, she’d kept Park in a place in her head that she thought Richie couldn't get to. Completely separate from this house and everything that happened here. (It was a pretty awesome place. Like the only part of her head fit for praying.)
