    Instrumentals

    I love a lot of instrumental music. You get so much emotion without pesky lyrics!!! I have recorded a few instrumentals, I find they are really fun to produce. That and I find it easier because I hate my voice so recording it usually takes SO many takes. There are so many great bands who do...

    Does anyone else have a problem being romantic?

    I just had a conversation with my fiancée on the matter of being romantic. He was saying that we're not romantic and with valentines day tomorrow is feeling disappointed. I am not exactly sure how to be romantic & not exactly sure what it means.

    Engaged & finding it hard

    I'm not officially diagnosed yet but fairly sure I have AS. Been reading a few things and thinking that explains everything or is this written about me? I started my 1st relationship when I was 28 before that I thought I'd die alone and was happy with that. But I met this guy who I love more...
