The Price Charming Complex...

Whilst i was trying to sleep...i was listening to my Franz Ferdinand CD (much thanx to xtn) in bed...this was whilst i was having a fever (which is why many emails were unanswered from work, cos i was at home)...and as i was actually dancing under my blanket (that album is soo 80's fun)...after about 6 tracks, i slowly fell asleep...but at about 1am on Thursday morning i woke up and couldnt fall back to sleep...so, here i was half delirious - i put Franz Ferdinand back on and try to sleep...but instead i started to think of my favourite stories and what i discovered about myself is that i have a pathetic complex!

I call it my Fairytale Fantasy or my Prince Charming Complex. The books that i have read since i was a child...from the Little Golden Books on Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, etc...you get the picture...to the more advanced hard covered version of such fairytales. Even as an adult now, i still love the Cinderella story, which is why i like Drew Barrymore's version "Ever After" oh so much!

My Complex, i think explains why im still single-by-choice. I dont "love" the idea of a prince, or want a Mary Elizabeth Donaldson sort of moment. What i have always been attracted to is the gentleman like demeanour of the prince, his masculinity, the air of romanticism, he is portrayed as a man with interpersonal and physical strength...the type of guy that is capable of sweeping me off my feet!

/rewind to reality

I have to admit now (i dont want to admit it, but i must be honest)...im a romantic through and through...im so fudgin' gay sometimes!...id like to think that i am an educated and realistic girl. I know that finding a guy like that is ultra slim, not impossible, although im not holding my breath...but i just cant settle for second best either...which is why i also accept being single.

Remember, looks isnt the part of Prince Charming that im attracted to...i think in most its his strength...most of the princes in the fairytales always save the girl at the end of the day...and more importantly...they live happily ever after...
