books and me? yeah, we get along.

speaking of jade-tricked, i think i was sucker-punched too. yes, they are different things. but this time, they're funny.

today i realized who one of my friends reminds me of. truly, it's like he stepped off the pages of my books and into my life.

he must think i'm insane because i stare in stunned silence at how much he is like this fictional character.
who is the character? this guy:


oh Rhett, my first fictional love. (should have known then the type of guys I'd fall for... don't worry, I like good boys now, not bad ones.)
You know what i love about Rhett? his ruthless honesty. that painful, ruthless, tactless honesty, i just love it. "I can handle anything from you but a lie, my dear." So, point the first: only the honest ones.
next, practicality. Sensible, thorough logic. "We are scoundrels, both of us." indeed, he is.
the ability to see things as they are. and to make them what he wants them to be. love that clout.
lastly, and this is something you miss if you just watch the movie, his sense of humanity.

it's almost tradition in my family, that the girls read gone with the wind when we are 12, and fall for rhett. all my sister did it, my mother, my nana and her sisters.... kind of makes me want daughters.

anyway, my friend is Rhett, and it's the best. I feel like i have my own personal celebrity.

Scarlett: Sir, you are no gentleman.
Rhett Butler: And you, Miss, are no lady.
