The early romance was the most romantic experience I have ever had in my life - far surpassing anything I might've dreamed of or imagined, it was quite amazing. When you are young and it's your first love and you are just carried away by it and that's all you can think about.

I'm a total Democrat. I'm anti-Republican. And it's only fair that you know it... I'm liberal. The L word!
