love in the tub

i am sitting in my bathtub in a very hot bath when suddenly Batman comes floating by. this doesn't happen to me everyday. when i reached over to grab him, i noticed that he had something, or rather, someone attached to his cape. it was Velma from Scooby Do. i can understand her attraction to him. he is strong and silent. self-employed in a meaningful job. not the kind of guy who will come home and bore you to tears with stories about the "funniest thing that greg from the office did out at lunch today. what a scene keith caused at the thai place during lunch. what a backstabber that lisa is in accounting or how inappropriate debbi's outfit is."

of course, loving Batman does have some drawbacks. such as, he is not home as much as you would like. he can't keep regular hours so it is hard to make dinner for the guy. he can be moody and broods a lot. he tends to internalize a lot of things. has some trouble communicating.

Batman's attraction to Velma is equally obvious. she is dependable and reliable. always there when you need her. she has intelligence and a daredevil quality about her. she can make a guy feel safe. true, she can be a little annoying, like when she finishes the crossword puzzle before you have had a chance to look at the paper. and she is always pushing you to get more in touch with your feelings. but, she is there waiting for you when you come home after battling the forces of evil, drooling on your pillows and snoring ever so slightly and she has never seemed so beautiful to you.

can you belive that i find my self in tears in the bathtub. am i in desperate need of some romance....or simply a date? i'll take an evening with my beloved, snuggling under the covers.
