I'm Fiona Looking for Shrek...

Why is it that when everyone else is happy with their boyfriend or girlfriend or life partners you're feeling at your worst? So, I started writing this novel, which is based somewhat on my family in the future (they've been waiting for this--you should read the song I wrote about them--LOL). I had to age myself and some of my cousins, plus marry us. Oh man, in my family, that's a hard thing to do. Out of the 30+ cousins I have, less than 1/2 are married.

Now, about 27 of us are over age 19, which leaves a good 15 or so, aren't even really dating anyone! In fact as I speak for the female side, Kara, Sarah, Leaha (not to be confused with best friend Leah) and I are still very single and plan to be that way for awhile (K is 25, S is 26 TODAY! Happy BDAY! and L and I are 24). I can't speak for the guys, because they tend to bed a girl, keep her until the milk runs out, then put her out to pasture. If they follow suit of my other guys cousins, they'll be about 28 or so when they get a serious girl friend.

Marrying my cousins wasn't hard (man, that sounds so bad), but marrying myself was (that sounds worse). How and who do you base your future dream husband after?! I've tried to take traits from my former Tae Kwon Do instructors, and a couple ex-boytoys, but he still doesn't feel complete as a character--which is brain kill for a writer.

Hehe...for another twist in this fantasy novel, I've moved myself out of state to a state and city that I told myself I would move to in like 5th grade. I remember seeing it in my history text book, and I said I wanted to move there. I'm not sure why, but I just do, darn it! Does a girl always need a reason? Maybe I'll just pick up and move there now, there's definitely nothing keeping me here.

And, you're asking yourself what city and state that is...

Nashville, TN.
