I have to agree Gibby, although I try to convince myself to be more optimistic about the whole affair. It's pretty evident that almost always the thought of someone is better than the actual person because people have this insane tendency to endow their "mystery girls/guys" with attributes
they can never really live up to. Eventually it becomes a let down when you find out that the girl in your English class really doesn't stay up late at night reading E.M Forster, or that in all actuality Dream Guy" has never heard of the Wannadies and would probably think they suck if he had. Its sort of a vicious circle in which people set themselves up for failure by expecting the most perfect thing in existance where a normal human being would do. On the other hand though, there is something nice about this whole lopsided transaction in that it exists at all. The fact that people love the idea of romance and affection enough to keep dreaming of people they've never met seems to be a very uplifiting turn of events. Eventually we all find someone who either meets our extremely high demands or we finally learn not to
any, and things work out. But the fact that in the face of such depression and letdowns this world continually belts you upside the head with, people still have the internal urge to seek out beauty and perfection is a pretty romantic idea in and of itself. I'll admit it is terribly dissapointing to stay up late at night dreaming of finally talking to the beautiful girl/guy three rows up in Biology only to find they're much less than what you expected, but the next day things don't seem to bad...and then you notice
You're dead on there... I have this reoccuring dream about a girl that im sure i've met before (but not quite) , and it's very vivid... and when i wake from it i have this feeling in my stomach, this really hardcore loving feeling that I have NEVER felt with another person.. (well maybe one).. so I know Im capable of it. If I met a person that made me feel like that. wow. (Is this pathetic... im in love with my imagination) I like the way you describe getting over someone, realizing they're not what you had hoped.. the fragmented sleep hahah... i know it too well. The first date or get-together with the new person is so good... awkward and innocent, discovering each other a little bit... mystery girls and boys are much better. a mystery solved is no fun to read. :) <3gibby. ps: right now im trying to figure out a way to get out of work. this is so frustrating. i hate calling in, but i just cant bring myself to work today... that place the
girl behing the counter at the Donut Shack and its another two weeks of fragmented sleep. Oh well.
