What can two single roommates do on their day off? As we sat on the couch, listing ideas back and forth until we ran out of them, I got an idea. An idea so revolutionary so bold, that we both jumped up running to get clothes together.
That idea was wasting the only money we had left to our names. Being that that money was already low the only place we could go was the used bookstore, about fifteen minutes away from the apartment.
As we stalked through the used books, picking out our favorites and buying nothing over five dollars, the roommate stopped. She picked up Pride and Prejudice saying that it was her favorite book of all time. That she wished she had a love like that. as she put it back she whispered, "Someday."
This got me thinking, as I walked past P and P, that we can wish for a relationship like this but why can't we do it?
We read through numerous romantic books, wishing the same thing to happen to us, but yet we don't do anything about it. We sit inside, watching others get the picture perfect romance.
Are romance novels there to taunt us or to make us believe? Is it that we aren't looking hard enough or that the perfect hero doesn't exist in real life?
I've always said that at the least expected time something beautiful will happen. You'll drop something and he'll be there to pick it up. He'll simile at you and you'll simile back. You'll start talking and well.... the rest will be history.
Just make sure you don't drop something embarrassing.
