My life has all been planned out...
...by some guy in New York. I used a travel website - all I put on there was a photo of me and listed the places I'd been. Based purely on that, he sent me the following e-mail:

"My name is michael and am single never married and has no kids... am selfemployed into Minnings world i mean Precious Stones. I love travelling becos i travel alot for business and contracts. am hard working businessman, am here looking for serious and long term relationship that will last for ever with happiness and joy, Relationship that will never bring regret in future or cause dameges in my heart or life. Love is heal and not to kill and it loving you is a crime then i will rather be call a criminal than to stop loving you, it better for me to kiss a miss tahn to miss a kiss.
Am 38yr old man, live and work in New York but am not a Citizen of US becos my Dad is from Germany and my Mum is from Africa...i need to settle down with a serious woman and well determined woman who isa ready for serious and long term relationship, who is ready to live with me as husband and wife and we share all we will have together as one body,to me i believe distance or age shouldnt be a barrier where there is true love and emotional feeling of the heart... and here are Some Of What I Want In Relatiosnhip.......
Hey, there is so much I want to tell you, a lot has been running through my head lately. I'm having trouble putting my thoughts into words so you will have to bare with me through this.
I keep thinking about the future, about life, and what I want out of it. I keep thinking about us and what this relationship means to me. I keep thinking about these things and I realize they go hand in hand. This relationship is my future; it's what I want out of life. I want to grow old with you. I want to experience this crazy love forever and ever, and I really think I'm going to get to. I want us to walk through new houses picking the one that would be just right for us. I want to see you walk around our house in a big t-shirt with your hair down and catch me staring at how gorgeous you are. I want you to pull the covers off me at night and then I have to get even closer, if it's possible, to you to keep warm. I want to see you laugh like crazy at me when I do stupid stuff. I want to rub lotion all over your body because you laid out in the sun too long. I want to have a child with you and go through the experiences of parenthood with you. I want to see you and me chasing our little kid around the house, all three of us laughing our heads off and having fun. I want to hold you when you cry and smile with you when you smile. I want to fall asleep every night with you in my arms. I want you to fall asleep on my chest listening to the beat of my heart and know it beats for you I want you to be the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I go to sleep. I want to see your bad morning hair; I think it will be so cute. I want to sit on the beach with you and watch the sun set, and I want all the people who pass us to envy the love that we obviously have for each other."

What a shame - I finally find a man who loves my morning hair only to discover that his spelling and grammar are too awful to bear. Damn.
