I am hopeless ... well and truly hopeless.

So I'm back from seeing Brokeback Mountain.

*sighs* I want that.

I mean, not the badness and the mean people and stuff. And no, before anyone asks, not Heath Ledger or Jake Gyllenhaal, although I wouldn't throw either one away if given them as a late Christmas present or something.

But, you know ... *gestures in the general direction of the movie theater where it's playing* ... THAT.

That's probably why I'm still single. Mmm-hmm.

I saw it this afternoon, and...yeah. That kind of reckless, all-consuming love that really doesn't care who it hurts (which is kind of a bad way of putting it, but...yeah) and is the very opposite of mundane. That whole force of nature thing.

Which really proves that my mysanthropy and the fact that I spent a lot of high school in the library have caught up with me.

Ah, the longing. Unfortunately it's usually what we can't really HAVE that inspires that kind of longing. Sucks. I'd love to be with someone who I at least for *some time* got to long for. It's never happened with anyone I've actually been with.

I want someone to kiss me like they kiss after not seeing each other for four years. Yeah, that.

Apparently no theater in the state of NC is allowing the showing of Brokeback Mountain. Thank you, Bible belt.
*returns to lurking*

That's exactly what I thought when I read the short story for the first time, even though it made me cry.

*sigh* Sometimes it's a little depressing being a twentysomething single girl with unrealistic expectations from reading too much, no?

Yeah, I here you.
