The Reason I like Science Fiction, or Suspense Novels better...

I read this article the other day, and it got me thinking, do romance novels tend to jade us? Are they making us dissatified with our common, borning, and often seeminly mundane lives ??
I used to read to escape reality, and a romance novel is too close to what people think of as reality, and it is not, there is no depth, and what comes after happily ever after ?
That is why I read for enjoyment, and I like fantasy, and sci fi and suspense novels, because they are entertainment, not meant to be true stories, they take you away from the boring, mundaneness of everyday life, they let you explore a whole new planet, or way of thinking, and then, there is the non-fiction section, real things happened to real people. True Stories. I also like to read the dictionary, it is full of words and it is actually educational and something I have enjoyed since I was 10 years old.

But I think that I agree with this article
I dont think that reading romance novels is healthy. For anyone, not just from a christian viewpoint.
And as a christian, the only 'christian fiction' that I read, is Fantasy (yeah, it exisists) and Ted Dekker's novels
(which are kinda sci fi/fantasy, or well, I guess, more aligorical in nature. Good vs. Evil in a very visual way, his books are amazing, my favorite so far being Immanuels Veins  of course if I had nothing to read but one book for the rest of my life, it would be this one

Maybe, Baby.

I was thinking, with all these chicks and dudes around me getting married, I do want that, I want the spouse, the kids, the house, the pet...all of it. But I am quite happy without it. So I guess I'm saying, I dont need those things to be happy. Sure, I get annoyed at the people who ask me when I am going to get married, and I gaze longingly at the wedding dresses in the shops. But it isnt going to fulfull me or make me happier. In reality it will probably make more stress, more worry and more cost. Sure, I do think that finding someone to love you and be with you for the rest of you life is a beautiful thing, and not all marriages are destined to fail, or break apart, I am not my parents.
So basically, I used to have this dream, that I would be walking down the isle, all decked out in my wedding finery, and when I got to the alter, there was the man of my dreams, but I couldnt ever see his face, same dream, all the time, I both loved and hated that dream, loved it for the promise it held, hated it for the uncertainty, and to this day, I still dont see a face when ever I dream of a wedding (if I ever actually get to walking down the isle) 
As for the man, well, I only ever loved one, and I messed that up (I am only human) so I dont think it will ever be him waiting for me at the end of the isle.
I dont really like children, I am ok with them when they are very small, newborn to about a year.
After that, I am amused by them, and I think that they are adorable, but I dont really want them to be mine.
(I like giving them back at the end of the day, or after a few hours)
Children are precious, but I dont really want to be blessed just yet.
Sure, I am nearing 30, and people think that is quite old, and maybe too old to get married and start a family, so I was thinking if there were already made families that I could join, you know, find a single dad, who is looking for a wife, and mother for his already hatched chickies, then that would be fine with me.
But for the most part, I am happy with my current single status :)

so I was thinking...

Why arent there any authors on Dancing with the Stars ??? arent writers stars too ? I mean, they are basing tv shows on books now, why not have an author on DWTS ???

Maybe I should start a petition, write some letters, 'make some noise' so to speak.

Who is with me ???

The song currently stuck in my head...

All along the western front
People line up to receive.
She got the power in her hands
To shock you like you won't believe.
Saw her in the amazon
With the voltage running through her skin
Standing there with nothing on
She's gonna teach me how to swim

Ooh girl
Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel

Ooh girl
Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel

All along the eastern shore
Put your circuits in the sea
This is what the world is for
Making electricity
You can feel it in your mind
Oh you can do it all the time
Plug it in and change the world
You are my electric girl.

Ooh girl
Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel

Ooh girl
Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel

Do what you feel now
Electric feel now
Do what you feel now
Electric feel now
Do what you feel now
Electric feel now
Do what you feel now
Electric feel now
Do what you feel now
Electric feel now

Work

I am thankful that I am now 'gainfully employed'
And I am liking my job, which isnt hard, and isnt really something that requires much though, but I am learning, and I am taking initative and putting things on paper that need done.
I am still learning the ins and outs, but the people are great, and I am really thankful that they are willing to work around my schedule right now (because of sharing a car)
I am going to be looking into finding a vehicle.
And I am looking into health insurance...as I am in need of both :)
