Haven't updated for aaages...

Not that I've had nothing to say but because everything I've wanted to say has kinda floated off once it made an impression on my mind...

This one thing, however, has struck me hard enough for me to put it here:

"i want to be a princess. yes, that's right. i want to live that fairytale dream and one day behold my prince charming who's come to rescue me and take me away to eternal happiness.

so i'm a romantic. so what? i love the feeling that rushes up inside of you when you wistfully think about who your prince may be and where he will whisk you away to. it makes you smile. smile with pure gladness and anticipation. i can't wait...

..i AM going to be a princess some day though. there's going to come that special day when my prince charming rides to me and takes me away and treats me like i'm the most precious thing in the world. and he's going to love me for all i am, and i'm going to be his devoted. and we're going to build our palace and kingdom and live happily ever after.

it's not a dream. it's a reality."

I don't want to be a cynic. But this chickadee is just setting herself up for a fall. A major big-time fall. I feel damn sorry for any potential bf's if this excerpt is an accurate representation of the potential girlfriend...

I remember being startled and taken aback when Gracia was telling me how there are times (really annoying times) when Kam (her husband) doesn't understand her and things just go all pear-shaped. And times when he'll blame her for things that she didn't do, etc etc. I was thinking "That's the realm of dating, not of marriage! Marriage is all bliss and romance!" (Well, maybe not bliss and romance, but at least, of mutual understanding and simpatico.)

Unfortunately for romantics, there are times when just ain't.

Well people can always dream I guess.
