STOP OVER IF YOU’RE NOT GOING HUNTING
As Love Week draws to a close on Larawrites.com, I thought I’d share some things that I learned recently about love, which didn’t go into previous posts.
For example, this video (courtesy of my awesome agent) showcases the hilarious protest-sign creativity of gay marriage activists who, like the rest of us, just want to love and be loved.
My fave? Elizabeth Taylor had 8 husbands; I just want one.
There’s also this little tortoise who was bullied by other tortoises (click here for full story) and lived a lonely life until the owners gave him a plastic girlfriend (*bites back snarky comment*) with whom he’s “besotted.”
Love really does come in all different shapes and sizes.
But since it’s Friday, I suppose the best way to conclude Love Week is with a Friday Flashback from a high school boyfriend. As you can see, this guy is really something else. It’s my birthday, and he sure as heck knows how to make a girl feel special.
If you’re reading this and not going hunting, please leave a comment. Love, Me.

Click my name to see the cutest little girl from UM’s Kiss-In. Her mommies wrote “Hannah loves kissing all people” in chalk on the sidewalk.

I wish I would’ve saved my middle school notes, just to get myself back into that voice when writing. But some of them were too incriminating, so they got trashed when I went to college
And may I say, every tortoise needs love…

When I was last home, my mom demanded I clean out my desk in my old room because my nieces were going through it, and she thought they were going to find, I don’t know, something dirty. While I had gotten rid of the incriminating (i.e. from boys) notes, I did find some notes that my girl friends and I had written to each other. I found one that she’d written to me right after this guy asked her to be his girlfriend, and holy moly. I just about cried. I am deciding whether emailing her about this (given that we talk like once every 2-3 years now) is a good idea.
I love Love Week!

I like that he wasn’t even going to leave home. “You stop by after school, you got nothing going on but your birthday, right?” You’re sorry you let that one get away now, arentcha?
LOVED ‘Love Week’…a lot!
