Prince Charming

“Some day my prince will come” – Snow White. I hate to break it to you, but I think that that theory must have been proven wrong at least a trillion times.

Maybe us girls should have something better to do than pining over ‘the one.’ I wonder what makes Prince Charming tick anyway? The looks, the smile (always white teeth – what do they use?), the mannerisms...what is it?? Let’s take a look, hey? (Oh, and when I say, us girls, I don’t really mean everyone, nor myself. I have better things to do than drool over guys. Like blog about why we shouldn’t, for example)

Old School
Name: Prince Charming.
Year: 1950
No one really likes this particular Prince Charming, since he only appears for a short time in the Cinderella movie (hang on, no, there’s actually a bit more of him in Cinderella 3 when he stops being such a pretty boy, but anyway, moving on...) but since the guy’s name is officially “Prince Charming” I think he’s set standards as the Prince Charming type of person that the fairytales girls want. Standards as in charming: Charming looks, charming smile, charming personality. If you get I mean. I don’t know, maybe I’m just confusing myself?

New School

Name: Edward Cullen
Year: 2005
I can guarantee that if Alice is reading this, she’d be currently either screaming of excitement, or crying of happiness. Because this, this is what OCD does to people! So I think Edward qualifies as a modern day prince charming: Charming vampire looks, charming crooked smile, charming love obsessed personality...check, check, check. I mean, I suppose that depends who you ask. Don’t ask me, because you know you won’t like the answer. But anyway, aside from the whole “I want to drink your blood,” “I stalk you” and “I am so overly protective of you, you never need to worry about hurting your pretty little face again” thing, maybe he might just be okay. Maybe. But anyways, let’s look at the effects of Yearning For Prince Charming (Y4PC, ok?)

PRO: You can always hope that Prince Charming comes. It’s good to have hope. Hope drives people through hard times. Hope is a light in the dark. Hope brings happiness when you’re miserable.
CON: Did you ever hear of wishful thinking? Or of crushed hopes? When Prince Charming never shows up, then you’re going doooowwwwn.
“My life is a graveyard of buried hopes.” – Anne Shirley. Anne of Green Gables.
CON: Prince charming standards make life a lot more difficult for the not quite as charming lads. And do they really deserve to be continuously overshadowed by some fictional dope? I don’t think so.
CON: Yearning for prince charming will cloud up your mind, waste a lot of time, take over you like a drug, and destroy your life.

And so that concludes this entry. Ho ho ho, maybe I should start councelling sessions, to help girls break free of Y4PC? Heh heh.

Thanks Bec.
Alice: I wonder if you even read the blog at all, or did you sit there and stare at Edward Cullen, thinking about how much you'd like to eat him, like the obsessed psychopath that you are? You can be number one for the councelling list. (JiHoo= number 2)
