The techni-colored dream post.

I'm getting all antsy about the new semester and finishing packing etc.

I'm really enjoyed my classes last semester.  I'm finally getting to the point where I get to study things that I'm actually interested in.  I am not a poet, but I do like poems.  I also like Emily Dickinson.  I really really really like Emily Dickinson. She is incredible.  I really admire her.  I might even have a bit of a Ladycrush on her.  Speaking of Ladycrushes...  Bromance.

Yes, Bromance--a mutual Mancrush built on respect, different/complimentary personalities, helpin' each other out of tight spots and, of course, platonic brotherly love.  Is there anything that adds as much deep--instant--attraction to a man's character as Bromance?  No.  Except maybe risking his life for your puppy or helping old woman cross the street. 

Ladies, think of all the men on Tv or in movies who you earnestly, fist-shakingly violently wish were real.  Now, name their--equally straight, equally awesome (but somehow just not your type)--bosom buddy.

If you are having trouble thinking of examples let me help you out:

Captain Jack Sparrow + Will Turner
Shawn Spencer + Gus
House + Wilson
Aragorn + Legolas (Legolas + Gimli)
Captain James T. Kirk + Spock
JD + Turk
Booth + Sweets
Butch Cassidy + The Sundance Kid
Batman + Robin
Han Solo + Chewbacca ...?

Bromance is one of my favorite modern words.  It couldn't have worked out better. Brother, Romance--Bromance. Where is our perfect Sister, Romance word?  We can try on Femance, Womance, She-lationship or Bra-mance, but none of those are going to come close to the kind of superb connotation Bromance has. Thoughts?

  1. Oh my gosh! I was talking about how bromances are the strongest of all the loves. Haha! Also, I think out of all of those... uh so hard to choose... but definitely JD & Turk, Shawn & Gus, and Aragorn & Legolas are my personal top three.
