Characters

So.  I admit it.  I like many an odd character.  I get attached to characters in movies/tv series/books/etc.  In real life too.  I like odd people.  But anyways.  Characters.  I get attached.  In college, I became hooked on Grey's Anatomy due to a roommate from my very first semester and got hooked ever since.  I relate to the characters (i was able to relate each of the characters to myself and my friends from college, with myself being yang).

So I was talking with a friend of mine about characters, and fictionalized love and he was talking about how the kind of love in love songs/movies/shows/whatever isn't real and shouldn't be something that we're wishing for and I got to thinking tonight.  I watch the Bachelor.  haha, this season is the first one I've watched and I must say, it's been hilarious, and of course, I have my favorite characters.

Of course, I'll reactivate Jeff and we'll get married, or convert Sean.  I'll take that one too obviously.  But the one that makes me laugh that is the odd character that most everyone disagrees with me about is Ryan.  I just love Ryan.  Call me crazy, but there are characteristics that he has that I am looking for in a future hubby.  He is funny, goofy, goal-oriented, motivated, hard working, confident, and he knows who he is is because of God....and in addition to that, he wants his wife to be the best she can be.  He wants to showcase his wife and show her off.  I dig that.  I hope I get pushed to be the best I can be.  I don't admire people who plan to or do "let themselves go" after they get married.  stupid.  i think.  but people disagree with me.  whatever.

Love is idealized.  I love love.  I love my chick flicks.  I enjoy watching the Bachelor.  And Grey's Anatomy. I love sappy love songs that get me twitterpated.  I plan to live in love.  I know it's not going to be like that every day.  Come on now.  But life is grand.  Why not be grand in love?  Having someone to share it with every step of the way?  I'm excited for it.  It'll be grand.  The perfect character for me.  How fun will that be :)
