Super Fantastic

I've recently come to the conclusion that I like fantasy far more then reality. Yes, this seems obvious to everyone because who wouldn't love their own Superman, but for me I cannot tell you how much I wish this was the world I lived in. From super heroes to vampires to wizards, I want this to be my life.

I just started reading Twilight. I'd seen all those Facebook bumper stickers & always wondered about this Edward Cullen person. Who was he & why was he so wonderful? Well, I'm not that far along in the book & I can already see why he is such a big deal. It's good so far, but it's supposed to get more suspenseful, which I like. Some people have criticized my choice of book because of it's "lame story line" but I could care less. Call me kinky but I enjoy the occasional biting so a vampire sounds good to me!

Now I am also a huge Harry Potter fan so falling in love with Edward Cullen, I feel like I'm cheating on Harry. I basically wish every single day that I were not a muggle & could fly on a broomstick & apparate from place to place & use Polyjuice Potion to become Jessica Alba, but let's face it, I have no magical powers. I am past the age of acceptance into Hogwarts & I am saddened by this consistently.

As for super heroes, clearly Peter Petrelli has my heart. It's always the magical ones who I fall in love with. As Jess on Gilmore Girls, Milo Ventimiglia had no appeal to me, but as Peter, I have never been more in love with a human (or super human in this case). Anytime I see previews for the new season of Heroes I almost can't contain my excitement.

I'm telling you, the reason I have not found any guy worth my time is because I have expectations that are impossible to meet. It started at an early age with Disney princes and it has continued to this day. Get it through your head, Amy...fictional characters cannot be your boyfriends!
