Everyone has that one thing on their page that they hope potential partners will pick up on, right? Be it a specific pairing that's been stewing in your mind for weeks or months. Or even a song lyric that resonated with you and could maybe resonate the same way with someone else. That's the spark! The thing that makes you or your partner (or both) say: OH YEAH!
I want this to be a place to pick a thing from your thread, share it, and explain why it means something to you. Doesn't have to be intensely personal, could just be a neat story involving the topic that birthed your curiosity for it. Keep in mind, lovelies, this is General Discussion. Keep it (mostly) clean.
Ex:
On my page, I list the 60s, 70s and 80s as eras/decades I'd love to explore in my writing. Now, I wasn't even born until 1993 (the year Jurassic Park came out, for those keeping track). However -short story time- I'm the youngest of three. By a fairly large margin. What they sometimes call an "Oopsie Baby". So by the time I was done being a tiny baby, who could do more than cry and suck on a boob, my dad was getting ready to retire.
So we hung out. A lot. And listened to his Dad Rock. A lot. And watched his old movies that I didn't understand, that made my mom ask things like "Why did you let her watch Reservoir Dogs!?".
And somewhere in there, there was a lot of trips through photo albums of him when he wasn't a Dad; his crappy apartment in Seattle, his first car, when he met my mom on leave etc. So I have this whole wealth of nostalgia for cars, buildings, music and fashion that I was never a part of. It's always something I've been curious about and drawn to aesthetically. And I love immersing myself in that environment whenever I can.
So what about you?
