even then I knew that...

"Four years ago, I was just a guy who had a crush on a girl, who had a boyfriend. And I had to do the hardest thing I've ever had to do which was just to...wait. Don't get me wrong, I flirted with her. Pam, I can now admit in front of friends and family, that I do know how to make a photocopy. Didn't need your help that many times. And, uh, do you remember how long it took you to teach me how to drive stick? ...I've been driving stick since high school, so... For a really long time, that's all I had. Little moments with a girl who saw me as a friend. And, a lot of people told me I was crazy to wait this long for a date with a girl I work with but I think, even then I knew that...I was waiting for my wife."

Dear Lord,

Please bring me a Jim Halpert.

Love,

Lauren

In a world of my own...

Peter Pan would stop by every evening to chat, Thomas O'Malley and Duchess would stroll by in the twilight, Ariel would be having swim parties every weekend, Aurora would be having slumber parties, and Simba and Nala would always be around for cuddles when you're feeling sad.

We'd speak by singing, and everyone would magically know all the words.

Stars Hollow would be a real place, and I'd live there. For sure.

My dogs would never bark for no reason.
Correction: my dogs would never bark for a reason that doesn't matter. In other words, they always have a reason. But most of the time, it's just a silly one :P Like, "Ooooh Tyler's here, and he must be here to kill us!" Tyler's my brother. And I really don't think he's gone that crazy yet.

There would be no fat, no skinny, just...beautiful.

Meeting a stranger in the woods, dancing together, singing together, and falling in love, wouldn't be weird.

Unicorns would be real. I mean, duh.

Raccoons would never have rabies.

Letters would be the big thing. Forget texting and Facebook. Grab a pen and paper and get to it.

The wicked witch of the west would have never been concocted. *shiver*

Everyone would know who their one true love is...so they wouldn't have to worry about all those other guys and girls coming along, tripping them up.

There'd be time to read all of the wonderful books in the world.

I'd have been a dancer.

There'd be no such thing as "bad hair days".

All boys would sing and play the guitar ;)
Okay, maybe not all boys. Where would be the fun in that?

Fireworks would be a once a week occurrence. Always loud, always booming, always magical.

Cancer is a word that wouldn't exist. Car accidents? Don't be silly, that's a myth.
The past could be looked back upon without pain. Maybe you could stop missing people. Maybe the ache would go away. Maybe it would even all make sense.

...there'd be no sad moments. Only joy, laughter, smiles, and giggles! =)

I'm sure there'd be flaws in a world of my own.
But it'd be nice...for a while ;D

because I need to smile. :)
