what i realised this weekend

this weekend i realised some things. they are:

- that if i want to find a husband in a hurry, i should probably expand my social horizons beyond chatting to people who work with or near me, hanging out with my family, and drinking tea with my girlfriends.

- that i want to be mary-jane watson, because not only is she the classic comic book love interest - the cherry lips, the high-pitched screams, the victim/seductress duality - but i'm thinking that spidey knows how to rock a girl's world like no mere mortal heterosexual male can.

- that despite the many painful outcomes born of human contact, there are certain gestures of kindness that can defrost one's heart and remind a person why its all worth the effort.
