Natalie Girshman | Love on Screen

Our next love trope is both particularly unrealistic and particularly disturbing. Known as "Abduction is Love" on the Internet, it could also go by the name "Stockholm Syndrome." Kidnap your soul mate, have a lot of objects and insults thrown at you, be incredibly sorry about the fact that you had to kidnap them, eventually win them over with your library or a less impressive form of chivalry and voil? ! It's happily ever after (except for the six months it took to get there).

Eva Batalla-Mann | Valuable Delusions

The sun! I think I had forgotten what it felt like. The last few days have been a beautiful melange of above 30-degree bliss. The snow starts to melt and the short shorts and VibramFiveFingers shoes are whipped out, creating a flurry of excited and very pale individuals. Davis Square becomes littered with people in the afternoons, centered around a quirky girl with a ZooeyDeschanel haircut playing Alt-J songs on the ukulele. Words like "spring," "rejuvenation," "frolic," "rebirth" and "ice cream" come to mind.

Aaron Leibowitz | The Fan

In this space last year, I wrote that, as much as I despised the Mets' ownership and the way the team was being run, I could not bring myself to stop attending games. That remains true.
