Top 10 Most Romantic Song Lyrics

In honor of my newfound mushiness, I present the top 10 most romantic song lyrics of all time. Feel free to add your own, and try your hardest not to vomit on my blog--I just got the carpets cleaned ;)

10) "And all at once you look accross a crowded room/and see the way that light attaches to a girl."
Counting Crows, "Long December"

9) "Sunday morning, rain is falling/Steal some covers, share some skin."
Maroon Five, "Sunday Morning"

8) "And we used to think it was impossible/Now you call me by my new last name."
Gwen Stefani, "Cool"

7) "The dawn is breaking/A light shining through/You're barely waking/And I'm tangled up in you."
Howie Day, "Collide"

6) "What you feel is what you are, and what you are is beautiful/Oh, May, do you wanna get married?/Or run away."
Goo Goo Dolls, "Slide"

5) "Don't go changing, to try and please me/You never let me down before/Don't imagine you're too familiar/And I don't see you anymore/I would not leave you in times of trouble/We never could have come this far/I took the good times, I'll take the bad times/I'll take you just the way you are."
Billy Joel, "Just the Way You Are"

4) "You tell me where to go, and though I might leave to find it/I'll never let your head hit the bed without my hand behind it."
John Mayer, "Your Body is a Wonderland"

3) "Your hair all around me/Baby you surround me/You touch every place in my heart."
Lonestar, "Amazed"

2) "And I guess that's why they call it the blues/Time on my hands, should be time spent with you/Laughing like children/Living like Lovers/Rolling like thunder...under the covers/And I guess that's why they call it the blues."
Elton John, "I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues"

1) "Love is color, love is loud/Love is never saying you're too proud/Love is trusting, love is honest/Love is not a hand to hold you down."
Tonic, "You Wanted More"

Retired facebook rant

The extreme feminist mantra is being retired from my facebook profile, though not the sentiments that inspired it. Here, one last time:

I am a feminist. A feminist, feminist. Some would say a militant feminist. Some would say a femme-nazi. I am not a cute feminist, a girly feminist, or a "but can't I still let him buy me dinner" feminist. I believe that women have every bit as much human capital as men. I am supportive of women who want to find a husband, have kids, and stay home and raise them, but that doesn't mean I have to. I dream about a world where women do not think their waistlines are more important than their grades. I dream about a world where smart women are sexy. I dream about a world without Jessica Simpson, The Rules, Love Actually, and every other "I'm dumb, isn't it cute" ideal. I am the kind of feminist men run from. But I dream about a world where they don't.
