Armageddon...(sp?)

*sigh*

You know the scene; it's the day before they all shoot off into space to save the world with their majestic drilling machiney things...Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler are sprawled out on a picnic blanket under one of those pituresque leany trees, at the brink of sunset? And Ben is sexily narrorating an animal cracker parade up and down Liv's unbuttoned blouse, exposing her stomach and chest debating the ever so crucial question of whether it is a cookie or a cracker? (Which I admit would definitely be something that plagued me at the world's end..) Followed by the even deeper question of whether or not anyone else in the world was doing that exact same thing at that exact same moment??? To which I forget who responds, but Ben explains dutifully that he hopes so, that's why he is risking his life to save the planet afterall.

*swoon* Liv is soooooooooooo lucky.

The next relationship I am in, I am making a game plan. I WANT ROMANCE! MOVIE ROMANCE! I am taking notes. I am making a list of all the romantic moments in every movie cheesy enough to make me tear up if I'm on my period, and I am testing them out in real life. Put all the ingredients together and see how it plays out.

Of course, these scenarios couldn't possibly develop as perfectly in my life as they do in these movies, seeing that the most romance I've encountered in my life means water and aspirin beside the bed and waking up to see that all my earthly possessions are still intact (laptop, cash and SEGA inclusive).

I want to be spotted through a fish tank at a masquerade party and have the dude be the son of my father's mortal enemy. I want my first love to read me the story of our love because my altzheimers is so bad I don't know it is us, subsequently dying in one anothers arms simultaneously(ok, maybe save that one for the end). I want to "never let go" but then actually do to save my own ass while floating hopelessly into the freezing ocean. I want to "complete" someone in an elevator (that sounded dirty, but you get it)...you know...REAL romance, REAL love. Don't I deserve that? Don't we all?
