Why are you still single?
Don't Want To Settle
You, more than others, have a fairy tale fantasy of how things should be. Ever since you were a kid, you've probably dreamed of the perfect wedding, coming home to a white picket fence, dog, and 2.2 kids (how does that work, anyway?). When someone asks what you're looking for, you don't skip a beat: You're likely to have a handy checklist that details your perfect partner. Hair and eye color, height, religion, education, career, interests, the list goes on.
While it's great to have standards � Hey, you shouldn't have to settle, after all � there's one slight glitch in your master plan: No one has made the grade in real life � at least not yet. Next time you're out with someone, keep yourself from mentally checking that list, and give love � and others � a chance. That special someone who you've written off may be perfect for you after all...
Riiggghhhtt...Anyway..
I just watched Mansfield Park on BBC2. There's something very refreshing and reassuring about the way you know Jane Austin is going to try and undermine high society in everything she writes. My sister once concluded that all her books are the same. After having read each of them. I doubt I could have the will power to do that before writing off a novelist.
But it was sweet. But arent they always?
