Greeting cards for the person you're having an affair with: [link]

It is a sentiment guaranteed to melt the coldest heart:

“Just when I thought I would never find my true love — you came along ...”

It is a greeting card, decorated with a depiction of purple flowers. Inside:

“My soul has been searching for you since I came into this world.

“All my life I have had this emptiness inside, like a part of me was missing and I was incomplete ...

“And now I can’t imagine my life without you ... Even if I have to share you.”

Even if I have to share you?

This, clearly, is not a card for the wife — not the sender’s wife, at least.

YAY packrat Kat! I love that, it made me smile, and possibly yell EAT IT!.

In fact you make that combination "Ewww" and "WTF?!?" and "Whatever!" face all at once.

That is my face a lot of the time. isn't it?

“And now I can’t imagine my life without you ... Even if I have to share you.”

What is wrong with people?

I slept late, but not as well as I might have, due to construction in the apartment next door that started at 8:30 this morning. Argh. Now I have got to got to do laundry, or I'll never be able to get dressed in clean clothes.

Edit:

That is my face a lot of the time. isn't it?

Yes.

Well ... well ... it's a poly thing, I guess, right?

glad it made you smile!

I had shoe failure again today while running, but now I'm making cupcakes so it's 40% better. My friend Michelle is going to be here eventually and I'm feeling as cheery as can be expected.

OH! Perkins! My thing with the deptartment chair worked out! Nothing like the power of an apology and responsibilty-taking over something I've done wrong to smooth the way.

But if you were poly, you wouldn't have this wistfulness about "having" to "share," would you? You'd be all psyched that you weren't trying to restrict each other into a single relationship.

Junebug is great, really great.

But if you were poly, you wouldn't have this wistfulness about "having" to "share," would you?

You don't have to be poly to send that card. It's poly to receive it. I also don't see poly people as running around being psyched about their polyness all the time.

Wistfulness and goopy sentiment in a love card? That's ... well, they often look the same to me. I'll get back to you in five years and tell you if I can see a distinction.

YAY, bonbon! Amy Adams totally knocked my socks off. Some of the characters (okay, most except for sieve!Dad, new!Wifey, and adorable!Preggo) were unlikeable but all of that pent up disappointment, discontent and anger. Yowza.

I'm going to stand by my original statement, I think.
