Here he comes to save the day

"But when a young lady is to be a heroine, the perverseness of forty surrounding families cannot prevent her. Something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way.” ~Northanger Abbey

So I finally understand why Jane wrote Northanger Abbey. Lets face it; it’s everyone’s least favorite book though I completely enjoy Mr. Tilney and his teasing manner but I never understood his attraction to the naive and immature Catherine Moreland.

But today I found myself in Catherine’s shoes. I came home from work and while making dinner I imagined a guy, any guy ringing my doorbell and confessing his undying love for me. Have I seen too many Romantic Comedies? Do things like that really ever happen? To anyone? I mean I know nothing ever turns out the way you plan, and our personal love stories cannot be imagined but I have to do or think of something to get me through the rest of my life. I just hope that I don’t get fearful of ending up alone and settle for the first guy I can force to propose. It’s getting so ridiculous that I am considering getting a dog or adopting a kid to secure that something or someone will love me one day. I need help or something else…
