Practical idealism.Janise L voiced the suggestion to do a Pride and Prejudice for class play the other day. And pretty ironically she rejected her idea in the exact same breath, muttering to herself that no male denizen in med is quite deserving of the role of dear Mr Darcy. Today, YC and I had a small discussion on being swept off one's feet with love. I absolutely do not believe in love at first sight. I call that lust. YC doesn't like that term because of the negative connotation it carries, but why bother hiding from the truth? And who doesn't want to be left breathless by some utterly stunning individual, mere infatuation or not? But chances seem so depressingly slim. Sob. YC's heralding of Steven Lim's website sparked off the conversation, though this part has been eliminated from the manuscript. Excerpt as follows: you said you love me you love me again but if you love me where have you been? says: the thing about local men, they don't have the striking looks of the italians, no wit and humour like the british and they don't breathe romance like the french. Yee! says: hmmph. but i'm sure they (we?) have their redeeming factors too Yee! says: those qualities of which u mention are striking when u're talking about being swept off your feet with love Yee! says: not 20 years down the road you said you love me you love me again but if you love me where have you been? says: hurhur how many pple actually get swept off their feet with love you said you love me you love me again but if you love me where have you been? says: does it only happen in the movies? Yee! says: i don't think so. but that stage doesn't last in real life. Yee! says: though i'll like to experience it someday myself Yee! says: bu zai hu tian chang di jiu, zhi zai hu ceng jing yong you you said you love me you love me again but if you love me where have you been? says: the ceng jing yong you part hurts like hell Yee! says: but each subsequent one hurts less Yee! says: sometimes you'll look back in retrospect and feel quite stupid for being so upset over something like that in the first place Makes sense huh. And if you recall, something I wrote last Dec. P/s: I like Joey's idea of little cartoon hearts! Scoot over to her blog if you haven't yet been there. The maiden spoke at 4:02 PM
