Well I am still being cliched J even though I didn't get any further prompts :(
So I've decided I guess I'd better come up with my own.

I had a different blog written for today but I decided not to post. However it was good to vent and to consider sharing it. So instead of boring you with drivel about ducks in a row and my attempt at a metaphor regarding drowning and treading water I’m going to ramble about love at first sight.

Now some of you may scoff and with good cause but the romantic in me believes in it wholeheartedly. Sure it probably isn’t ‘love’ so much as lust, instant attraction or other such chemical reactions. Yet I believe that you can find that connection, that certain something, after one meeting. We all need something to believe in.

I’ve seen it happen. It’s happened to me. It exists but not necessarily as flowery and romantic as it can appear in books or movies. Cynics liked to bah humbug any hint of instant love. To them I say... (well it isn’t worth repeating...) Yet rom-coms, ballads (think Celine Dion’s song from Titanic) and romance novels are popular. I admit I am one of the popular. I love a good (albeit perhaps over the top or farfetched) fictional love story. Fictional being the key word here. I like the fact it may NOT be realistic. That is the point. If I wanted real life I would watch the news or read a biography (and I do... but I know what I would prefer.)

Perhaps I walk through life with blinkers on as I would much rather not know about all the horrid things people do to each other. I don’t want carnage and death, well sometimes I do but with a happy ending ;). I want love and the kind that isn’t real... that is the POINT.

If you don’t believe in airy fairy ridiculous love at first sight romance... then by all means don’t but please also don’t expect it to be something else when you do go there.
