Seriously, I'm the most practical person you'll ever meet. I'm always trying to figure out if something's going to work. I want to know the application of concepts. I come up with solutions that satisfy as many people involved as possible. But I also believe in perfection. I believe in love. I believe in fairy tales, huge romantic gestures, deep hurts, and happily ever after. So how does this work out? I want practical love. I want compatibility. I want stability. I want insanity. I want someone to adore me. Someone who will lasso the moon for me. How did those two violently opposed ideas end up in the same person? And how can I ever hope to be both the practical and the crazy one in a relationship? I make little sense.
