Updates: Media (lyrics) has a new layout. I could never figure out how to lay it out, but it's easier to navigate now. I'm still working on a better duplicate Mamblog mod. I'm trying to make submittions easier but the poetry form died for some reason. Quizzes are also on their way from the old site. Joomla content isn't very code friendly so I'm having to rewrite old code. You can still click on News > AH v21 > Screen if you wish to use the quizzes.

You used to be able to tell if a guy liked you by looking into his eyes when he offered to buy you a drink or asked for your number.
But in the brave new world of online dating, how do you read the signs? How can you tell he really thinks you're special?
You can bet your e-fling is going someplace if he:
Emails you more than twice a day. Above and beyond the polite "good morning" and pleasant "good evening," extra emails received during the day indicate you are always on his mind.
Really responds to what you write. You're not just a sounding board for his online rambling. If he gets your jokes or relates to your rants, rest assured that you have his attention and he wants to know more… and more.
Asks questions about you. No, not an interrogation, but his interesting indulgent questions show he's intrigued and wants to know what makes you tick.
Surprises you with spontaneous e-goodies. When he sends you an article he knows you'll find interesting or refers you to a Web site that addresses all those existential questions you've been pondering, you can tell he's really reaching out.
Ups the ante. No longer content to hold you at a cyber-distance, he suggests a phone call or even a first date. Congratulations! You're not just an inbox interloper; you've really captured his imagination.
Signs off with suggestive salutations. If his email signoffs have evolved from a polite "Fondly" to a passionate "XOXOXOX," it's a sure signal he's sweet on you.
Even while the medium for meeting an eligible sweetie has gone cyber, the signs of a spark are as old as time. If the evidence is undeniable and the feelings are mutual, then by all means seize the day and say yes.
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Love is always patient and kind
It is never jealous
Love is never boastful or conceided
It is never rude or selfish
It does not take offense
It is not resentful
Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins,
But delights in the truths
It is always ready to excuse, to trust,
To hope, and to endure
Whatever comes
