A watched pot never boils.

Only when you stop searching will you find what you're looking for.

The best things come to those who wait.

Patience is a virtue.

This all may be so, but in matters of love? Not only is it excrutiating to hear, but you want to sorely box the ears of the teller.

I'm a dreamer, a hopeless romantic, a silly girl with fanciful, movie star dreams of love. Give me Shakespeare, give me William Thatcher, give me Achilles - where are their real-life counterparts?

Is it silly to desire a love full of passion and fire? Is it too much to ask to be recited poetry? Will I never find that knight in shining armor who would defend me to the death?

I have been watching too many movies, apparently. Because the more I look around me, the more I see the leering faces of men who I will never give the time of day to. Slobbering, lascivious, beer bellied, neanderthals that couldn't even spell Shakespeare, let alone recite me a sonnet. Where is my Romeo? Am I destined to have to wade through the putrid sea of testosterone filled society to find that one guy, not a perfect guy but the perfect guy for me, the equal mix of manly and sensitive, the poet and the punk rocker?

Sigh. Yep.

I'm gonna go throw up now.
