In a dark, dark house..

It really makes me wonder about life when situations 180 themselves. I did things with friends everyday, I got a phone call from my boyfriend everyday, I lived in a dorm full of fun people, and while I had down-time, I was never alone.

A month later, I am alone. Most friends have moved away for the summer, I have an apartment with withdrawn neighbors, my boyfriend is across the country due to a family crisis and does not have time to call me (the time difference is complicated too), and my co-workers are almost unbearable.

I comfort myself with Korean dramas about life and small sewing projects, but it doesn't fill any kind of void. It does, only slightly. I'm sometimes jealous of the leading girl, a hard-working but badly-mannered girl who looks out for the weak but has a terrible time expressing her feelings.

She is being courted, not by one, but three gorgeous men who have money-making potential and success. They have personality flaws like anyone else- withdrawn, bossy, jealous, vain, quiet but they are all very caring. In the end, one man is able to earn her love in return but obstacles stand in the way; friends, rivals, gossip, parents, etc. I'm not finished with it and have many episodes to go but I hope their love is strong enough to keep them together in the end.

I think back to guys I have dated, or could date, and they all posses qualities I wish I could find in one guy. Of course, relationships would be easy if we could pick and choose the characteristics of our mates. However, if you put yourself out there and look, maybe someone wonderful will come along.
