ATTENTION all you lovers and romancers out there! You know who you are!
Announcing:
ROMANTIC MONDAY!
It’s a Romantic Event, a Gathering of Romantic Posts, all done on Monday!
Why do it on Monday? Because:
1) Mondays usually suck, and Romance will make everything better!
2) The weekend really lends itself to the creation of Romance, thus inspiring all of you to great blogging heights of Romance! Why? Because it’s Sweetest Day on Saturday!
3) The world could use more Romance!
So here’s what you do: Write a blog post that celebrates Romance. It can be poetry, photography, video, a fictional story, a story about that special someone, an anniversary or date you had, a lament for a lost love, or some combination of these – but it has to be Romantic, and it has to be Monday. Yes, it can be sexy or erotic if you like. Make sure to leave a comment here with a link to your story, and I’ll visit your blog with a link back to here, or you can put it in your post. I’ll add links to all your posts at the bottom of my Romantic Monday post.
That’s Romantic Monday!
I’m expecting good, Romantic, sensuous things from you! Hopefully, this can continue Every Monday, with Romance and Love everywhere! Hit us all with your best stuff! Build Romance! And then tell us about it.

Excellent plan!
A plan involving romance is always good, right?
It’s gonna have to be “Mildly to moderately insane Romantic Monday” for me. As you know from reading me, I’m head over heels for my shiny new husband because he can make me spit out a mouthful of coffee or squirt milk out of my nose.
Romance is insane. If it made sense, it would be boring and robotic.
I guess you’re right about that!
Gotta be crazy! That’s why they call marriage a “commitment”
Ha ha. Damn straight. I’ve actually already started. This is very difficult. Heart wrenching….epic….prepare to be underwhelmed. But in a good way!
Not underwhelmed. Impressed. Freshly imPressed.
Ha ha. Cut it out already.
Reblogged this on The Cheeky Diva and commented:
Who’s with me? If I can be a guy for a day, or make my family super heroes, I can do this. Anyone else wanna play?
Hooray! The more, the merrier. I’m going to do some “research” right now!
Grrrr!
youtube: Moon Dancer One Band’s Story
The song is Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow–
romantic, questioning..”Tonight, with words unspoken
you say that I’m the only one…”
Nice! Even if I don’t post, I’ll enjoy reading everyone who does.
Awww – Surely you have one romantic story?
Possibly. But besides my regular friday post, I think I’m mostly taking a break. Did a post I really liked declaring it.
I’ll tinker with ideas over the weekend. Maybe something will come to me.
I also threw in a link back here in tomorrows post.
Thanks! Believe it or not, I was taking it easy this week. Just reposting a few, nothing more. Didn’t work out.
Can you remind me like on sunday nite or monday morning? You know I have the retention span of a crack squirrel.
I can pin the post to the top of my blog. And remind you.
You can do that. What does that even mean? You r so smart.
Whats a,crack squirrels attention span?,,
On the right side of your post you can make any post sticky, meaning it’s always at the top.
Oh… is that how you make your blog sticky? Is that your story? Is that the one you are sticking too?…(ha)… seriously, I have no idea what you are talking about.
Somewhere near the Save and Publish buttons.
In the edit box or the dashboard or the main page?
When you’re writing or editing a post. Upper right corner, near the publish button.
I will try that. It can only make my blog all that much more confusing.
What is this “romance” thing that you speak of??? The word sounds vaguely familiar but….
It’s pretty awesome, as seen on TV. Awww, you’ve gotta have one or two romantic stories, right?
I can sort of remember romance – I might have to watch some chick flicks this weekend just to jog my memory.
That’s the spirit! Except not Steel Magnolias.
I like it. See you Monday!
I can’t wait to see what you write! Check back here later, because I’m goung to make some logos to put in your romantic posts.
Hooray! I know you can romance us all.
Talk about writing outside of my comfort zone. I’ll give it a shot.
You will do fine. Go back and read your post with the lathe in the barn. You’ve done it before!

Let’s get it ooooonnnnnnnn
Can you make me a logo with two unicorns crossing rainbow pee swords?
Sure! Great idea. But it’s not really romantic, is it? Maybe for a tiny percent of the population.
I’ll make it work.
Maybe it can be the new UPS logo. If UPS changes what it means. Who can go from romance to unicorn piss? Nicole can, that’s who.
Hey, the UPS label would work for me… What can Browne do for you… get it… because my last name is… never mind…
But that unicorns crossing rainbow pee, I could so do that in Photoshop.
Romance? Unexpected but sounds fun. I think I remember romance…that soft squishy thing ..ok im down.
good idea. Btw
I want to see what you write. It’s going to be great!
I can’t be romantic on a freekin’ schedule… Don’t be such a love nazi…
and tell me, now that I got back on the humor topic wall, how can I make my post ‘stick’ to the top there, cause that would be something.
We don’t have a way to do that. Only the WP people can do that.
But… I thought you were the master of all time and space… Next you will be telling me you are a mere human…
I am mostly human, yes. I have no knowledge of my origins. Other than when a mommy and daddy love each other very much…
Please don’t spoil the surp[rise for me, I am reading a book on the mating rituals of the human species, and so far I must say I find it just a little revolting. Did you read the part of my novel where the Xxo gave birth by ripping himself in half? Funny stuff, and still less messy than the method employed here… just sayin’…
If you’re worried about mess, you’re doing it wrong. Also, the Xxo probably make somewhat of a mess when ripping themselves in half, to say nothing of the Dickheads.
I talk about all of that in the birth scene.
Oh boy.
I am telling you, there is something for everyone in there. Pirates, alien breeding, assassins, dead heads, giant hybrid alien/human evil corporations, inter-dimensional invasion, alien projectile vomiting, guys pulling an alien off the tongue of a larger alien by his junk, betrayal, loyalty, friendship, evil plots and schemes… what’s not to love. And that is all just in the first quarter.
You’re right, there’s quite an adventure. I need to read the next 10 chapters or so.
Yes please… but not because of my cynical plan to impress publishers with my hit stats, but because I value your opinion as much if not more than the very air that I breathe… (too much?)
Okay, have you even noticed that there are now 7 new logos for your Romantic Monday blog post?
I saw some of them. Are there more now?
Well, there’s the unicorn one.
So we use these on our monday posts… which I am going to try to remember…?
Yes
Got it.
Oh! Pictures! It will be like a Pop-Up book, as long as I do it right anyway..
LOL! And I know you can do it right.
Hellz yes! It will be in 4D High Definition!
4DD High Def!
I actually did the Unicorn one suggested by Nicole, but I kinda don’t want to put it on here. You think I should?
A young, hawt, and awesome girl asks you to put up a unicorn pic and you deny her this one simple request?
That’s my answer.
You make an excellent point. Like, a point so excellent, it’s like running into a brick wall excellent.
Hope you’re wearing a helmet, cuz that’s gonna hurt yo big head.
Okay, I think it’s there now. Look!
*sniff sniff*
That Unicorn photo is just so fucking sensual and shit!
Nicole Marie, make Hotpants proud!
Did you like any of the others at all?
Yessiree, I did!
I copied them already- don’t know which one I’m gonna use yet though. Probably not the unicorn pic
I know – too hard to choose, and by hard, I mean either difficult or turgid.
I had to look up “turgid”
1 : being in a state of distension : swollen, tumid ; especially : exhibiting turgor
2 : excessively embellished in style or language : bombastic, pompous
Yeah, both of definitions are fitting for persons or things or stuffs.
That you’ve had an effect on.
Got another lottery ticket – cross your fingers! If all goes well, Romantic Monday will morph into Shopping Spree Monday
Lolzz- ok, but I’m sure you will have better things to spend your lottery winnings on than clothes for all of your lady pals!
Of course I will! But it doesn’t mean I won’t still spend some on you.
Now, help a gurl out- how did you ‘make’/ caption the photos?
http://pixlr.com/
I saw most of these, but the unicorn one is new. I suppose it demonstrates romance in sort of an R Kelly sort of way…
Or a Boy George sort of way.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
I don’t know how anyone could resist writing a romantic post after seeing that unicorn. I think I believe in magic now.
I am mystified by the evolution of the unicorn pissing rainbow. From a flippant comment, to a picture, to several posts, to search terms and slogans and identification with me, to now, a symbol of romance or some shit.
The unicorn comes up in your search terms??? Google is strange though. People come to my site looking for pregnancy porn. I’d say which is worse, but I’m really not sure.
Yes it does! Here’s my top 9 search terms for the day, in fact.
red vs blue
rainbow unicorns
sadness
rainbow unicorn
voldemort funny
1920s
james bond parody posters
female ninja
red vs blue tucker
Suck on that, Alex Trebek.
Red vs blue sounds suspiciously like politics, and sadness just sounds… depressing.
I’ll take female ninja for $800. It does take skills to write a quality post about female ninjas.
Red vs. Blue is a machinima series using the Halo record feature and a crapload of voice actors, including Elijah Wood this season.
Sadness is a post I wrote in January that has the first or second most views ever on my blog, depending on the week.
Female Ninjas – they’re actually Iranian female ninjas. I did a post on that sometime in February, I think.

OK, I am cracking up at what I posted on Monday, not having seen this until just now. So a C word post doesn’t count as romantic, huh?
I think this is a great idea, but I’m going to have to try for next Mon. Hopefully my aged brain can remember.
The c word can be romantic if done right. But I wouldn’t try
Great idea! I love the logo’s though the last had me laughing my arse off… Hahahaha
That was for the extremely romantic posts. Uberromantic. I think Nicole is getting a tattoo of that.
LOL…. should be a huge tattoo… like the entire back.
I think she mentioned getting it on her butt cheeks.

I abso-freakin-lutely love the Romantic Monday idea… so of course, just had to contribute!
http://pechorina.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/on-several-given-mondays/
That’s great! But just to be sure, I’ll include it again next Monday. Along with Episode 2.
Eek! I posted mine Tuesday! But since the story happens on a Monday, can we call it even?
Sure! But here’s what I’ll do – I added it today, and I’ll add it next week with your second episode.
Thanks so much. I’m only involuntarily deft once. The second time is usually intentional…
Your writing style is so unique – and that’s good. Also, you’re either nude, love chocolate, or both.
Close. Am chocolate, love nude.
That would have been my third guess, after ‘you are nude chocolate.’
Looking for all the RM entries, but can’t find them…

This post was more the announcement, and source of logos, and framework. There will be a new post full of everyone’s post links, and those links to other links, and so on, each Romantic Monday.
