It's a Wonderful Lie
Given my tendency to wallow in self-induced malaise, it's rather perplexing that I am susceptible to the most melodramatic, mawkish tripe imaginable. I am genuinely moved by cheap sentiment. If a cinematic moment or schmaltzty song is meant to elicit an emotive response, I'll respond like an emo-stricken dork.
I blame Frank Capra, John Hughes and Nick Hornby. And Journey.

Oh, man...next time I see you, I'm totally gonna break into "Faithfully".
I'm compelled to express a crushing disappointment at your lamentable use of 'illicit' rather than 'elicit'. I expected better from a loquacious pedant who rabidly adheres to the rule of 'why use a one syllable word when a more pretentious/elitist multisyllabic counterpart is available'. I've obviously laboured under the erroneous assumption that you kept the Oxford English Dictionary close at hand while blogging... :)
You show up and play grammar nazi, then call ME a pretentious pedant?
Homonym has been changed; thanks for the heads up.
What's a homonym...? ;-)
I liked 'mawkish', though. I would've gone with 'puerile' myself, but 'mawkish' - hell, that's just plain fun to say.
