During breakfast I watched the last bit of "You've Got Mail" with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I've never seen the movie, but my husband, Jon had. He wanted me to see the end of it, so I did. It was charming and romantic, and made me think I might want to watch the movie from the beginning, but it also made me think of questions.

Has your real life romance ever been influenced by a romantic comedy film? If so, which one/s? Do you think that any romantic film reflects anything close to real life? If so, which one/s?

As in...have I ever decided to stalk someone in order to win their love?

I'm so confused. LKH has previously refused to accept that she writes in the romance genre (albeit the PNR/erotica end of the spectrum) to the point where she wanted to tell book stores not to shelve her books in the romance section.

Kinda dreading whatever follow-up to this may be. Like, did Jon (her husband) mention something like how they met is suuuuch a romantic thing and she's suddenly all IDEA!!! except now she has to voyage into the dreaded realm of romance/chick-flicks and then set out to prove she can do better? Because what she'll write is TOTALLY REAL due to being based on her very own personal experience and maybe some people she's spoken to once or twice. Or maybe we'll get some kind of poly-romance so she can continue on this kick where she denigrates monogamy as being totally awful and goddamn those vanilla people need to learn how to embrace their kink.

Funny she should ask, because my love life has followed the plot of 'Kate and Leopold' EXACTLY. /sarcasm

I know I saw "You've Got Mail", but I don't remember a single thing about it.

Anyone else think she's desperately fishing for inspiration for Merry here?

I am waiting with baited breath on the follower to that post. It's asking for it - soon enough she will post a "So, you've told me so much about your experiences and now let us hear my (meaning: only right and proper) thoughts on them..."
Just wait.
