Well the username may project that but honestly I just meant 'hopeless romantic' by it not that I'm stupid. In fact, I actually think I'm a pretty sharp guy in my field as well as with managing money etc. Just not in relationships and social life but I'll work on faking it till I make it
I hear ya on this. When I was lurking before joining in last year, I was thinking of a username. As a "hopeless romantic", too I almost went with my favorite literary character and called myself "Cyrano" But glad I went with Gardener, nonetheless.
I gave my cat the name of one of my other favorite literary characters. Since we got the cat the day before Gregory Peck died, we named him Atticus. Best cat in the world. X asked to take cat when she moved out so she wouldn't be lonely. "Sure!," said Mr. Nice Guy/Cyrano. X then turned artound and bought a dog!
But I digress, as always (what would a Gardener post be without a non-sequitur digression (or without parentheses, for that matter?))
Gardener
"My soul, be satisfied with flowers, With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them In the one garden you may call your own." Cyrano deBergerac
