When I was a kid, as much as I would never admit it, I loved the romantic side of things. I mean my mom probably knew, and come to think of it, the rest of my immediate family. I was
in love with the old musicals. Funny, right? I've seen my share of them. I could quote a number of them. And sing the songs. Doris Day? Oh, how I wanted to be that pretty. The songs, oh, and
THE DRESSES. I would imagine I was wearing the same dresses. I remember owning a pink fluffy, ruffly pink dress. Play dress, i believe. And I would put that on and Prance around our yard (thank you for living out on an acreage where there were less people to see me,
living the dream, so to speak).

I would watch these movies and think that there really was chivalry like that(see
THIS) Even when I got to be a bit older, i still wanted my life to be sweet like the movies. I wanted to hear the lines, that those
pretty little actresses heard. But don't those
romantical movies ruin us? Do we somehow forget that they have writers that take months to think out there every word? Yes. Yes we do. When I was single and all my Greatest friends were married, I was like, aren't you just so happy to to do nothing together? Isn't everyday good, because your
with the one you love? And while, I'm so sure there is a bit of truth to that naive thought, I was leaving out the worries of bills, small children, where to live, where to work and the like, out. Love conquers all right? Well it should.
I do believe, I'll save the great romantic scenes for the movies. I mean, I'd like a bouquet
once and awhile. Or new CD or a new purse. Hey, I'd take a chore being done, that I didn't have to ask for,
to heart. But the one liners, well I'm not buying that. Don't get me wrong. I still think there are
sweet things we can do for our loved one, But the showiness of it all just makes me squirm. I need sincere, and nothing that has been written in a script.
Would know be a good time to tell you about falling in love with
cartoon characters? No, Your right, that's for another post entirely!
I agree with your post, thats why there can be harm in watching romantic movies and have the same expectations. I used to think the same way, hoping my prince charming came along. But I appreciate what Ben and I have together, we can act like retards together and that makes me happy.
