I have to make a confession.

I am a fraud.

I can finally admit it now...

I want romance. No matter how much I deny it...

How can this be so clear now? Well, last night, I went to see The Holiday (you can enter the official site through this link) and fell for it hook, line and sinker. I couldn't help believing that all of this is possible. You know, the sappy, "I have someone who understands me to my soul and still loves me despite it all" kind of belief. The one that I am sure is just a plot to sell movie tickets, books, valentine's chocolates and diamonds. However, this film made me long for it.

So, I must admit that up until now, I have been fraudulent in my independent attitude and that I am just a pushover for a beautiful and seemingly unconventional love story.

What the hell is wrong with me? I have the same reaction to the film Love Actually. I become a soppy mess wondering what is wrong with my life that I cannot find that one being that I am destined to be with.

That said, The Holiday was lovely. Despite me not really liking Cameron Diaz, I really enjoyed it. It made me want to run away to a cute, cottage in the British countryside.

It was purported in the film that the Santa Anas Wind caused all sorts of crazy behaviour in humans especially that of the romantic kind.

Which brings me to today's weather here in lovely Vancouver. Shortly after 2 pm, heavy winds blew and it was quite cool. I love windstorms and felt the wind swirl around me. That whole "power of nature" thing filled my soul. It was amazing!

I am sure if I had jumped up off the sidewalk, I would have become a human kite. I felt so free.

So, I suppose that even though I have been distracted by love and romance, I can still find joy in that there is something more powerful than love and equally as awe-inspiring.

Have a great day all!
