ME

Have you ever seen the My Life Is Average website? People talk about random happenings that go on in their lives; stupid things that happen during the day, you know. We all love to laugh at their mishaps and random events, but we never really stop to think if our lives are any better. I came to the small but very real conclusion that my life is no more interesting or exciting than their's is. My life is definitely, without a doubt.... average.

I would like to say that my days are crazy and different everyday. Instead of venturing in Italy and finding some gorgeous European man to sweep me off my feet, I wake up every day at 10:07 and take a half hour to get ready for a job that, just like every other average American, I hate. Instead of opening butterfly doors in some mysterious looking foreign car, I struggle to get the doors open in my scratched up 2000 Ford Focus hatchback that I'm still trying to make payments on. Instead of asking for days off work to go on vacation or to some cool party that all the cool kids will be at, I ask and get rejected for Sundays to go to church.

I'm your average girl. I have the same routine almost every day. I pray and wish for a story tale boyfriend to come and make me feel like I never have before. Even as I write this I create a little theme song tune in my head and try to act like I'm in a movie. I recreate scenes in movies that I see in hopes that they will turn out the same (i.e. walk out on a porch alone at night and look at the stars thinking about what I may have done wrong only to have prince charming join me and tell me I'm amazing and then share a passionate, life changing kiss) but it never happens.

Movies make me hopeful; if you hadn't noticed. There is always the average girl who get the guy in the end, but what they never show you is that it takes a LIFETIME. It's sad really that I think the way I do. I should love my life and everything that happens in it, but when I watch a movie like I previously explained..... I get hopeful only to be let down.

I've fallen in love with a best friend only to have it not turn out like the movies at all. I've walked out onto a porch only to sit there alone until I get bored enough and go back inside. I give "the look" to any guy who is close enough to my face only to walk away with unkissed lips. I've walked down the halls of a school like I owned the place only to end up back in a class that is so unlike any movie I've ever seen.

Once again, my life really is average. When the fairy tale comes along.... I'll let you know.
