Cinco: I love The Soup - hilarious!

DQ: I'm cracking up about your adventures with the Flavor of Love. H and I have watched that on occasion just for the train wreck/curiosity factor. A fun source of laughter!

I got an "oh my - maybe we're just a couple of prudes" feeling when I read your observation of my anti-GGW views in comparison to his anti-reality show views. Geez... We need to lighten up, yank the poles out of our butts, and have more fun.

On another important note...

In general, we need to change the tone of our R. We have always been such good friends. We are always kind toward one another and love spending time with each other. It is difficult to balance "pushing us into the discomfort of romance" against "striving to be authentic in our actions." I find that sexy texts and sweet nothings over the phone are easy. When we are live and in person on the weekends... It's another story. Not so easy.

I'm thinking about why it is such a challenge to bring on the romance... Possible reasons that come to mind:

-One or the other doesn't want to stir anything up in a moment that isn't right to do more (This goes against DQ's kiss campaign)
-One or the other simply isn't in the mood at the moment
-I'm wishing that he would initiate, so I give him some lead time to seize the moment (I found myself feeling this way quite a bit this weekend)

I'm a bit disappointed in myself that I didn't just make out with him when we had the opportunities this weekend. I'm trying to ignore the confirmation of the cold, hard truth: If I do nothing, nothing happens. Blech.
