I have reached that level of desperation. Yes, friends, I have started looking at my friends' friends' pictures on facebook to find hot single guys.

And I very nearly watched Dirty Dancing tonight. Close call, that. I'm in Romantic Desperation hell.

I <3 Dirty Dancing. I swear to god I have seen that movie like seriously probably upwards of 8 times. How frickin' sad is that? Like...every time I'm home it is on some t.v station and it is such a good movie that I can't help but watch it...even though it makes me look like uber gay. Same thing with Titanic. If I have to chose between bad sitcoms, shitty movies, or a classic...I pick the classic. Hell...I watched Rambo: First Blood today because it is a classic and nothing else better was on. Seriously, the first movie is a GREAT movie that is so overlooked because of the stereotypes that were generated by the Rambo *sequels* of Stallone taking on 30 guys at once with a bow and arrow or machine gun. The first movie takes place in the Pacific Northwest (like Washington or Oregon)and is a serious critique at the military and the civilians post-Vietnam. REALLY worth watching (I shit you not).

Anyway...good luck on the dude hunt. All I wish to say here is that I know you will find your own answers on this subject in due time and I have a feeling that when you find them, they *will* be the right ones for you. Not be vague or anything. ;)
Perhaps it might be worth introspecting a bit on what is makin' you feel so needy recently. Environment? Group pressure (everyone around you getting married, having kids)? Biological clock ticking? If fixating on having someone else is really like a huge priority (you wouldn't be the first person on the planet to say "yes" to that), perhaps it would be fitting to ask why it is so important that this happen now? Why must this happen on your terms instead of naturally (like with Jamie)? is this some push for a greater control of your romantic life because you felt so out of control with both the beginning of your other major relationships, their decent into irrecoverable messes, and their inevitable ends? Perhaps those might be good questions for you. Perhaps not? I dunno. Only you can answer that or even evaluate if they are worth answering. Like I said earlier though, I think you will come to a satisfactory mindset or resolution to your boy troubles. :)

Anyway...watch Rambo. I'm dead serious, it is a great movie even it is total 100% jingoistic propaganda in some places . :)

Hmm, I replied to the above comments before I read yours. I think my reply there applies here as well.

I was thinking earlier about something. I'm reading a book called The Alchemist, which is about following your Personal Legend and realizing your dreams, and I was trying to figure out what my Personal Legend is. What do I want most out of life? What is my ultimate DREAM? In an ideal world, what would my life look like? And I'm sure that a husband is a part of that scenario, but I don't think he'd be the focus. I just don't know what is. Maybe I'm trying to pick up pieces of the puzzle as I go along? Or maybe I'm just lonely, and miss having someone to talk to about my life and my dreams and how my day went. In any case, I know everyone's right, and I should focus on something else and Lover Boy will magically appear. That's the way it always works. But it's so damn hard.

And yeah, I love Dirty Dancing too. I have it on DVD and I've seen it way more than 8 times. It's just such a guilty pleasure.... Dunno that I'd be up for Rambo, though. Over break I watched Rocky twice, and I really think I've hit my limit for that genre. Dear God, please don't send me a husband that loves Rocky. Please.

aww you <3 Dirty Dancing? I <3 Dirty Dancing too!!

I think the first time I watched it was at Kara's house lol. And when it comes on TBS or something I try to catch it, but Chris doesn't like it so I either have to watch it while he's gone or not at all :(
