I tried to complain to the post office but they were really rude about it.<br /> I think that romantic comedies are like the modern-day version of fairy tales. I must admit that I have a whole shelf of those movies.

I must admit that I've had crushes on a couple of my cute male friends, but they were never reciprocated, unfortunately.

It had to have been humid and in sweaty territory to make you want to stand and kiss someone. Though I have to say #4 did happen in my case. Though we were both in school and working part time, so I think a good 70% of our waking hours were spent in non-romantic comedy territory. (I can count the # of times I've received flowers on one hand too.) <br />Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-60018412631454353022014-07-08T06:41:31.535-05:002014-07-08T06:41:31.535-05:00Yeahhh I'm not a big fan of the rom com (with ...Yeahhh I'm not a big fan of the rom com (with exceptions). They tend to not be that funny to me, and always fall into the same formula - get together - big thing happens - break up - reconcile. Sigh.
