Being gay and being a woman has one big thing in common which is that we both become invisible after the age of 42. Who wants a gay 50-year-old? No one let me tell you.

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
I hope that I would be considered romantic. I don't know... one of my favorite movies is 'The Notebook' so I guess that would be considered romantic. But I think being romantic is more than the flowers and the gifts. It's about connecting with the person and being able to talk and share things with her.
