Right side of wrong
so i'm getting my g/f an ipod nano for xmas, and i want to engrave something on the back that she'll really like. i know it really has to come from me, but if anyone would like to help me out, that'd be great.

i sure hope she doesn't find macrumors anytime soon :eek:
 
'songs for an angel'

*vom*

but seriously. we don't know the kind of person you are; hopeless romantic? tough-guy?


don't engrave anything like '[your name + her name 4eva]' though. :rolleyes:
 
ok, we are both runners, and i'd for it be somewhat motivating. not really sure what i mean though. something that could be motivating for our relationship and for anything in life, like running.

hope that makes sense

I'd suggest 'always go the distance'.
But it sounds like a semi-marriage-proposal...hah.
 
well it looks like there are 29 characters and 2 lines, so a total of 58 characters.

it could be from a song as well. i want it to be really good

well. think of some songs you both like.
then find a motivational lyric.

you're set. :cool:
 
well here are the lyrics to "our" song:

"Baby you're all that I want.
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.

Oh, thinking about all our younger years,
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free.
Now nothing can take you away from me.
We’ve been down that road before,
But that's over now.
You keep me coming back for more.

Baby you're all that I want.
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven.

Now, nothing could change what you mean to me.
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now,
Cause our love will light the way.

Baby you're all that I want.
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven.

Now our dreams are coming true.
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you.

(We’re in heaven.)

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven. "

see anything in there?

thanks, i'm trying. no luck so far.

what about this: "Anything worth while will not come easy."

i kinda like it, but i'd have to have something else to go with it on the second line

That's good for running! And everything else, actually. You've got me thinking about stuff now, damn you!

I don't know what could go on the second line.


[edit] Anything from that song would work nicely.

'Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you'
 
Oh...I was hoping to give my best engraving idea.


Harmful if Swallowed :D:D

How about...I'll walk the distance

thanks, that's actually a good part of the song. should i go with that, or the running quote and another quote on the second line?

good luck man. I'm sure you'll come up with something.

thanks, i sure hope so.

and to the ones who don't like engraving or whatever. i'm not big on it either, but i know that she'll love it (if i come up with something good)
 
i would definitely go for something more running related rather than relationship related. if you break up, she's not going to want to use it with some quote about unending love on the back.

well i doubt that's going to happen (but it could)

this will be our 7th xmas together. probably thinking about marriage in a year or 2

sorry i didn't mean to insinuate that a break up WOULD happen, just that there is aways a possibility.

i liked luis' suggestion.

if you're still stumped, there's always beatle's lyrics :eek:

Holly (rap. I was with my wife for 5 years before we married. I thought that was a long time.

How about - Run until battery is dead or three hours. Which ever is first. :D
