It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

Maybe this is true for some of you, but I don't buy into the whole "my significant other is my best friend," bullshit. I was reminded for maybe the millionth time, tonight, that no matter who I may meet and form a bond with in the future, one Christopher L. Klein is my hetero-lifemate.
