Completely out of the blue, my true love announced, “I’ve been having an affair.” “With whom?” “He’s the drummer in a rock group.

I had always supported my true love’s creative endeavours, no matter how foolhardy they seemed. I watched — with my fingers covering my eyes, naturally — as my true love discovered a passion for bungee jumping; fire-eating proved to be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: ten lords a-leaping. My true love was going through a nihilistic phase. It happens occasionally.

I carefully followed the map that my true love had provided, but when I arrived at my destination I was convinced that I’d taken a wrong turning.
