no more drama? @okcupid followers & friends respond

This is a phrase I keep seeing on dating profiles... to me, "no drama" has begun to be code for, "no feelings"... or "please God NO FALLING IN LOVE." I realize we all view this phrase differently. So I posed the question to the twitter-verse and here are some answers I got: 1. No drama = no unwanted display of emotions and no undesired unpredictability. It's a major red flag if you want a giving partner. 2. I'd say it has more to do with no craziness, undue jealousy, possessiveness... And women say it too. 3. answer: No, it's code for: when we fall in love and you get issues, please solve them yourself and don't burden me with them :P. 4. I have found that "no drama" usually means they bring plenty of their own drama and resent the competition. 5. "no drama" = red flag. Either he wants a girl with no opinions or he has crazy exes (& is probably a bit crazy too) 6. I think it means no dating at all. Like, "Le

Hips of Fury #bellydance Alter Ego ~ ELOE

My alter ego in the group of awesome friends I call the Johnny Snows , is known as Hips of Fury (naturally, since I'm a bellydancer ). (Side note to the potentially confused - Johnny Snow is a reference from Dr. Horrible which is an awesome story we all adore. We are the Snows b/c we ski in CO. Dr. Horrible is plotting to be an evil mastermind in the ELOE, Evil League of Evil. Our group hasn't determined yet if we are good or evil ;-) ) The Johnny Snows are a creative group and Colleen has decided to write a script for a video so we can really have fun with the character names we made up at our holiday party. I already enjoy writing, so I quickly came up with a fictitious character: Hips of Fury – Alise Ardent (Ardent is a play on words being a synonym for passionate) Good or Bad? – Ambiguous / Struggles with it / Helps women, sometimes enjoys punishing men Powers – shimmies that create weather patterns & sonic booms, has power of hypnosis with slow movements and can

Looking for Love ~ It’s not where you look but who you are

Reposted from Heal Your Life Website Published: March 10, 2010 By Dr. Wayne W. Dyer Be a loving person and you’ll find a loving partner. You must be that which you desire. There’s no point whatsoever in an unloving man or woman bemoaning their inability to find a partner. They’re doomed to endless frustration because they don’t recognize the perfect match when it appears. That loving person could be right there, right now, and their resistance doesn’t allow them to see it. The unloving person continues to blame bad luck or a series of external factors for their not having a loving relationship. Love can only be attracted by and returned by love. The best advice I can give for attracting and maintaining spiritual partnerships, is to be what it is that you are seeking. Most relationships that fail to sustain themselves are based on one or both of the partners feeling as if their freedom has been compromised in some way. Spiritual partnerships, on the other hand, are never about making an

Love and Attachment

today's source comes from: http://www.viewonbuddhism.org/attachment.html I am continually struggling with this and sometimes I wonder if I'll ever really learn or get it right. Once you start dating someone, the fires of desire are sparked and it's wonderful. It's so easy to get wrapped up in that and want more. It feels so good and we are so happy, we just want to exist in that state for as long as possible. "Grasping at things can only yield one of two results: Either the thing you are grasping at disappears, or you yourself disappear. It is only a matter of which occurs first." Goenka I've come to realize that becoming attached to someone happens so quietly and subtly that sometimes we don't really even realize it's happened, until the object of our attachment is suddenly gone. It happens in my mind ever so slowly... at first it feels under control and at some point, the idea of that someone you're attached to takes on a life of its own.
