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)

Good luck with that, hon. And make sure you let us know where you're registered for the wedding gifts!

Good luck with that! You've started on the right path by putting your intentions out there. In order for it to manifest you have to put what you want out to the universe. Don't ask , don't get :)
I'll be looking for an invite

People always say "ask the universe" but they leave out the second part and this is now let it go. I've decided I would like to try a relationship again, but there are certain things I am getting in order first. Iceland looks amazing and I had no idea you could drive around the perimeter. You really inspire me Dan.
*BTW- I love in Philadelphia and if I come across a wonderful man for you I will let you know.

If this works, let me know, I may place a similar request for a cute-funny-monogamy-minded guy out there as well!

I told you already that I went to Iceland in the past year. All about Lake Myvatn and make sure and book at Myvatn Nature Baths -- do NOT go to Blue Lagoon... way too touristy. In fact, skip Reykjavik and catch a connecting prop plane to Akureyri in the north.

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

Oh ... by the way, Iceland looks amazing!!! Count me in!
Posted by: Glenn C. | November 26, 2006 at 02:00 PM
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)

Too bad I am not a gay man... What I have to offer wont be of much help to you. =( Good luck!
Posted by: stacy | November 26, 2006 at 06:20 PM
I proposed a couple of entries ago, and no answer. That kind of behavior won't get you hitched, Dan.
Posted by: Patrick | November 26, 2006 at 06:31 PM
Oh man I want to go to Iceland so bad.* I'll marry you!**

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!

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.
Posted by: David | November 27, 2006 at 05:34 AM
Don't know about the marriage thing, but I'll definitely show you around Iceland if you ever decide to visit ;-)
