"I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay,a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you." "Then it was you who wounded Aravis?" "It was I." "But what for?" "Child," said the Voice, "I am telling you your story, not hers. I tell no-one any story but his own ." "Who are you?" asked Shasta. "Myself," said the Voice, very deep and low so that the earth shook: and again "Myself," loud and clear and gay: then the third time"Myself," whispered so softly you could hardly
hear it, and yet it seemed to come from all round you as if the leaves rustled with it."

from The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis

when harry met sally.

Sally: He just met her... She's supposed to be his transitional person, she's not supposed to be the ONE. All this time I thought he didn't want to get married. But, the truth is, he didn't want to marry me. He didn't love me.
Harry: If you could take him back now, would you?
Sally: No! But why didn't he want to marry me? What's the matter with me?

I watched "When Harry Met Sally" tonight for the second time in my life. I need to own that movie.

If nothing else, to replay these three lines over and over again. I think this is a lot of my problem. If I could be with whichever guy from my past right now, would I? No.... but, I mean, it's just that, he didn't want me! And that really irks me! Ha ha ha.

Gosh. Women (including myself) are ridiculous. I don't make sense. We want to be wanted. But it's more than that, too (of course it is. we are complicated creatures. ha). Yes, we want to be wanted... and probably to be wanted by guys that we would reject in a heartbeat. But we also want to be wanted by someone that we also want. Following?

Yeah, I confuse me too. But, this is my line of argument.

All that being said. I am no longer accepting applications for guy "friends." Quota = filled.

xoxo.
