Waiting for Cupid’s Arrow

July 11, 2007

My hopelessly romantic ideals (which I just recently found out were hopelessly romantic) may be shooting down any potential lovers. I've never experienced a romantic relationship but I think it starts with the butterflies and all the mushy mutual feelings stuff. I've been waiting for a thunderbolt to hit me and tell me she/he's the one. I'm sorry if that's way too romantic, but I've eaten way too much from the Rom-com part of the media buffet table. That's what happens in rom-coms and stuff. Guy, girl, they meet, get hit by a thunderbolt from nowhere and, "She/He's the one."

Okay, that situation is too ideal. Even for me. I'm blaming Desperate Housewives for the Thunderbolt reference.

Lizette told me this in the OSAD, "You know Ting, the problem with you is that [singsong voice]everyone is your friend, no one is your lover.[/singsong voice]" And Oh freaking God who may or may not exist and if she/he does may or may not be omni-everything, She's right.

So what do I do? Should I start fishing and hopefully find someone who'll pass my (probably high) minimum standards and hope that it develops in to something that would be lurve? Or live an Epicurean life and live for the pleasures of the mind? (Epicurus didn't bother with romance, the pleasure obtained comes with a lot of hell.) Or do I just go on being idealistic, hopelessly romantic, and seemingly innocent boy who knows nothing of lurve?

Heck, whatever. Anymore and I'll probably be late for Econ102.

Bu . . . bu. . . but Ting. I thought we were lovers! I mean, holding hands in the rain and making out in public at random times of the day? Didn’t that mean anything? Oh! I feel like a whooooooore!

Wait, what we did wasn’t a manifestation of brotherly/sisterly love?

hey what’s with the singsong thingy?!

aaanyway, this is my advice: love is a Really Nice Thing, but once you get the hang of it, it’s not as nice after. go try to live without it as long as possible because when it hits you, boy, you’re in for some mean mean ride.

but, if you find your life boring and realize that what you need is a mean mean ride, then, by all means—feh. maarte ka lang talaga piryud.

Eek!

Hi, welcome to this seldomly-updated corner of the Internet. This little space belongs to a 21-year-old with a serious Peter Pan Complex.

If general incoherence does not entertain you, it is suggested that you look for something else to waste your time. :)
