YKYOWTRW you're out a concert or sporting event and are more concerned with checking in on the AP for updates and/or messages than focusing on a song you like or a critical moment in the game...
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right...

I love that doodle :)  Made me giggle out loud.  

YKYOWTRW:  When you see an obvious new fan of the family online.  How I can tell is the way the fan goes "OMG The girls are just gorjus",  "Alexei is so adorably cute" and "I wonder what it was like to hug Alexei and smell his smell?"   and I physically cringe and roll my eyes at the comments.  

It's not on here, though I think this fan has not found this site,  just photos via google of Alexei.   This is on a Romanov fanpage on Facebook.   I know it sounds mean but I think gee the IF were just normal human beings who happened to be born into that particular society and time.  They are not some adorable cute kitty/puppy that we can coo over.

I have to say I've resisted swooning for decades, but I no longer do so( resist that is lol  ) I've stopped puzzling over my emotions when it comes to the family, now I  just enjoy the emotions  to the full . People and diffrent age groups  have diffrent emotional temperaments and express themselves at different volumes ( so to speak).  It's about  the personal style of how one approaches a topic that is important to oneself. One is quite sensitive about that..... and a person can  feel uncomfortable when meeting up with someone  whose way is diffrent.

True hun :)  Yes I admit when I first got into IF I thought they were gorgeous with a tragic ending.   However I never went into the "I wonder what they smelt like." etc phase.              That's just to weird for me.

I am not a swooner over small children, and to my jaundiced eyes any infant who looks 'cute' is bound to be a little horror.

lol . They get to be freer in expressing thier base humanness...and one has to pretend they are 'cute"   Sometimes they are, however I have recently told a friend I won't be lunching with them if thier out of control 8 year old joins us....this is an outrage it seems. But watching the tiny terror throw things at me, is " cute" . Much to both of thier surprise, I threw the stuff back.  I explained I'm entering my 2 childhood. lol  But you know what?  the child behaved after that. They were used to adults just taking it . Interesting

Reminds me of a story about Alexis looking around a store room at his sister's hospital. He asked a nurse"  what if I tore this place up? " The nurse said"  then that will be how your visit will be remembered."  He moved on with out disturbing anything . Tatiana said to  the nurse,"  If you had told him it was forbidden, he would have done it ".

I swoon, I'll admit it. Although I'd rather refer to it as having a bond and feeling profound admiration for OTMAA and certain other characters involved in this saga.

Seen one too many baby pictures of your "difficult" teenage students have we Ann? lol, I hear you though!

lol, good going! Yeah I have a soft spot and therefore a lot of patience with children but my wife always points out the apparent failings of the parents she sees. Some of my favorite one liners...

"That kid needs a dad not a dishrag"

"Just pick up your damn kid and get across the street. We got cars stopped and waiting here...it's not time for baby step lessons!"

"I feel bad for those children...they really have no chance being born into that family."


How about this one...you know you're obsessed with the Romanovs when...you make multiple posts in a forum thread called "You know you're obsessed with the Romanov's when..." :-)
