Hello world. I'd just like you to know something.

I've decided that 2007 is the year in which I am going to get married.

Who's the lucky fellow? Dunno yet. But I'm working on that.

I realize it's not 2007 yet, but I wanted to give you warning a chance to get ready.

~~~

I already have the honeymoon planned. I want to spend a week driving the perimeter of Iceland. A road runs all the way around the island, more or less, and most of it is through some pretty weird terrain. Geysers, lagoons, cliffs, the whole Scandanavian-esque thing, it's going to be really beautiful. And we can stop in the little towns along the way, hang out with the fishermen, and stay wherever. It will have to be a summer wedding, of course...Iceland in the winter is tough. So really, that only gives me until September-ish to get this locked down.

I think it looks really amazing...think of those little hotels along the way!...obviously, whomever I marry is going to need a reasonable sense of adventure. Exploring fjords and swimming in geothermal pools is no fun if he's not into it. Beyond that, I'll be delighted with someone who is nice, and funny. And calm. I need someone to mellow me out. The inside of my head is a chaotic place. No drugs, or desires to engage in three-ways, please--I seem to meet a lot of guys who want me to have sex with himself and his boyfriend, and I realize everyone makes their relationships work in their own ways but personally I find that creepy. A cute butt would be appreciated, but that's just extra credit.

So if you could send someone my way, I'd appreciate it. The clock is ticking, I have plane tickets to buy.

Thanks for your attention to this matter. A nice man interested in monogamy isn't asking to much, is it? If it is, please let me know in advance, I can take that trip by myself, no problem at all.

Sincerely,

Dan the Man with the Plan (to get hitched)

Dan! Take my husband. Please!

[Max D]

I have a great potential husband...a friend of mine. Good looking, intelligent...works in media relations...in his low 30s. He can legally get married (he's Canadian)! Let me know if you're interested.

[Glenn C.]

Sorry, amazingly cute butt!!!

[Glenn C.]

Karey, should looks be the only criteria for marriage? I think Dan mentioned some personal traits other than looks like funny and nice. The only physical qualification was a cute butt. Just in case you missed it the first 50 times. Did I mention that I have an amazingly cute cute???

[Ed]

How can you get married if it's not legal...you're gay. So you wanna marry a chick or do you want to get married in England or something?

[Karey]

Jon.. I had to be nosy and check out your friends profile on myspace.. he's hot!

How about him Dan?! :) Lol...

"Been around the world and I, I, I
I can't find my baby
I don't know where, I don't know why
Why he's gone away
And I don't know where he can be, my baby
But I'm gonna find him" ... in Iceland.

Sweet Dan, all I've got is an adventurous spirit, a good heart ... and a full but quiet life here in the Napa Valley ...

Did the Florida thing, San Francisco thing, New York thing ... now is much simpler.

Good luck with your noble quest ...

oxoxox

Someone on my blog, where I proposed we make this trip together, in a "weird, wouldn't it be fun" way, suggested that this museum is a must: http://www.ismennt.is/not/phallus/ens.htm

my old roommate went to iceland once and told me all about it. since then i've always wanted to go!

so if you can't find anyone else, take me!

[Raggi]

Don't know about the marriage thing, but I'll definitely show you around Iceland if you ever decide to visit ;-)

[David]

Well, I am anything but a calm person, so I am certainly off your list. And until I find my own mate, I'm afraid all my energies will be directed to that before I can look for you. Good luck.

[Tyrus]

Err...

If you're joking: Haha, good one buddy.

If you're serious: It's people like you with idiotic thinking like these that contributes to the 55% divorce rate in America. Grow up!

[Mikey]

Oh man I want to go to Iceland so bad.* I'll marry you!**

I proposed a couple of entries ago, and no answer. That kind of behavior won't get you hitched, Dan.

[stacy]

Too bad I am not a gay man... What I have to offer wont be of much help to you. =( Good luck!

[Erica (the original, aka GroovyYaYa)]

Oh, and if you manage to find someone that fits the criteria - but is STRAIGHT - don't throw away his number. Share with the chickies on here!

Although, not sure if Iceland would be my first choice. Of course, I've always thought that I'd go to someplace I've already been for a honeymoon... that way, I wouldn't feel guilty if we never got around to sightseeing ;)

(Victoria, B.C. would be a great place, IMHO)

[Glenn C.]

Oh ... by the way, Iceland looks amazing!!! Count me in!

[Glenn C.]

Well I won't beat a dead horse but I am available. But even more so I think monogamy, a sense of humor, love, and a sense of adventure are all important to a successful LTR. Also, I don't use drugs or engage on group sex. And I have been told that I have a very nice butt. ;P

[jon]

my one friend loves you--- he will kill me if he knows i am doing this... haha-- check out his myspace... www.myspace.com/bcop830
