I mean, don't get me wrong. I have been interesting to some men. I have ex-boyfriends in a multitude of psychiatric units (and if they're not, some of them really should be). I used to be really quite minxy. But still, mentals aside, I've never inspired much more than a group of men who wanted to sleep with me, then be my friend afterwards. I seem to be some kind of agony aunt, the type that men have sex with, then spend hours telling me about how their ex screwed them up. I've never inspired great breast-beating passion, the type that great novels are made of. I've never had a group of men fighting for my hand.
Here is a list of some other things that I have never inspired.
- Nobody has ever written a song about me.
- Nobody has ever written me poetry.
- Nobody has ever written me love letters. I've had dirty texts. I've had filthy chat/msn/pm messages but nobody has ever declared their love for me on paper. Unless you count Dylan (Duncan?) Stewart, who used to send me notes when we were 5. He even gave me his pencil case, until my mean mum made me return it.
- Nobody has ever insisted I pose for some art, wearing just an expensive piece of jewellery.
- Nobody has ever suggested we run away together. Except perhaps the weirdo who suggested engagement ring shopping on our third date (Not Kline).
The most romantic thing that's ever happened to me was when Kline proposed to me and he did that in our living room.
