Among the men and women, the multitude, I perceive one picking me out by secret and divine signs,
Acknowledging none else—not parent, wife, husband, brother, child, any nearer than I am; Some are baffled—But that one is not—that one knows me.
Ah, lover and perfect equal! I meant that you should discover me so, by my faint indirections; And I, when I meet you, mean to discover you by the like in you.
Falling in love with someone's mind is so Platonic. And then come the road trips out to the forest. But could we ever remain faithful when the Great Google/Blogger is always seducing us away to other intriguing minds?
Falling in love with someone's mind is Platonic Provided you forget their penis and/or ovaries: Keeping the play of wit light and sardonic; Uncoupled from sturm und drang agonies.
I feel it in my fingers I feel it in my toes Love is all around me And so the feeling grows It's written on the wind It's everywhere I go So if you really love me Come on and let it show.

Freeman Hunt -- I am available for coffee or dinner.
Ann,
If I weren't married*, would you . . .
*quite happily, as it stands.
June wedding bells in Madison, perhaps? Ann, will you back yard fit something about this size? Or am I getting ahead of things?
I am available for coffee or dinner.
Heh. You're welcome to come have coffee or dinner with me...
... and my husband, of course. He's fun. You'd probably like him better than me, though hopefully not in exactly the same way.
Among the Multitude

Among the men and women, the multitude,

Hee, hee made me look!
I misunderestimated you abilites at misdirection.
I salute you.
Well, Ron is absolutely charming...but bloggers and commenters meeting up is falling in love, huh? :)

Better than lawyers in love.
Speaking of love,Althouse....
Did you do your patriotic duty and get the stimulus going this weekend?

Proving that law professors have poor reading comprehension skills :)
and seek love?
Now, now, mein sweet Althouse...can't commenters just have lunch before y'all get us hitched up?
If we do, though, you can live blog it! But, please, the fisheye adds 20 pounds!
Hey don't watch what I am doing....look over there.
Hee, hee.
Wow Darcy is teh hott.
Someone named Darcy posts here? Gawd, I'm away too much. :(
On the other hand, she's a lawyer.
I'm authorized, I'm married to one.

Provided you forget their penis and/or ovaries:
Keeping the play of wit light and sardonic;
Uncoupled from sturm und drang agonies.
Aww...ricpic. Is that my poem? It's very you. LOL. ;-)
It's also ungrammatical. To agree with someONE's, second line should be:
Provided you forget his penis or her ovaries.
Better. It's brilliant.
This is totally cool. And it happened around Valentine's Day. Double totally cool.
So I guess Darcy has given up on snagging Roger Federer.
I think this needs the "misdirection" tag....
jd: I'm the Ghost of Roger Federer Future!
I think this needs the "misdirection" tag....
That's Msdirection to you, bub!

Would that it were so. ;)
I just want everyone to know that I am not accepting back any stained garments to results from bloggers meeting commenters. Just sayn'
Simon: I like ya, man, but I don't dig ya that way!
Trooper: Do you have garments made of meatloaf? It's an...interest of mine. I promise to return it freshly glazed!
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows
It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show.
I have two friends that met on a blog, got serious and now live together... he moved about 800 miles to her locale and all is awesome.
Wedding bells in the offing..
I will concur on the apparent hotness of Darcy.
And add another shout out to Freeman Hunt.
For myself, it has often been remarked that Hugh Jackman bears an extraordinary resemblance to me.
