(Don't you feel spoiled...Look at all of these posts.)
Have you seen the movie The Holiday with Jack Black and Kate Winslet. You must. In the movie, one of the characters states that there are two types of girls: Leading ladies and supporting actresses.
Sounds neat, eh? There's only one problem with this. Am I the leading lady of a sitcom, or a romantic comedy. This seems to be the better question to me. Have you ever noticed that in sitcoms the main character watches everyone else get into a fulfilling relationship only to fail at theirs time and time again? For example, JD in Scrubes. Turk got married, Elliot got married, even Dr. Cox hooked back up with his ex for a fantastic relationship. He just keeps screwing up.
Also, look at friends, they teased us for what, 8 years? Ross liked Rachel from the beginning, but instead Monica and Chandler hook up. Also, Phoebe got what's his name. Ross had to go through two failed marraiges before they hooked up in the LAST EPISODE. So, if my life is a sitcom, when is my last episode?
Sure, romantic comedies are much neater and quicker. But what if I'm a sitcom girl? I think I'm much more the witty sitcom girl. Romantic comedies always start out with someone who was incredibly unfortunate looking who becomes beautiful or they just got out of a horribly tragic relationship and are immediately consoled by their long lost crush from high school. Oh well...

Fascinating. I don't think you are a sitcom. I'm picturing you in a romantic comedy that does not involve tragedy. That involves a woman finding herself (Runaway Bride) before she finds love.
Love The Holiday. Love romantic comedies. Love love. The end.
Spoiled, no. Delighted, yes! I love it, I love it, I love it!!! Keep writing!
Don't hold out for that high school crush, and what are you doing there to hit a social scene? You need to poke around and join a few community things! You should go help out with habitat for humanity, you could be the working girl in the romantic comedy who falls for the down to earth, very sexy construction guy! And weren't you just saying you are like raising Helen to me being the older married sister? Fear not, I won't die, but look at the down to earth, yummy guy she ended up with! Put in an order for John Corbet Or whatever his name is!
The biggest problem is life doesn't happen in an hour and a half. Just relax and enjoy the ride.
