Lifetime movies and lots of questions

I'm sitting here, alone, watching a Lifetime movie on a Sunday evening and feeling not a little envious.

She's beautiful. A not-so-ugly duckling transformed into a gorgeous swan before the movie's end. Shiny, buckets of cliche later, she's come to the realization that she can write her own happy ending. She's also gotten a book published under false pretenses, had a stunningly handsome publishing mogul's son fall in love with her, and had not 16 Cinderella references made.

It's cliche, overplayed, and wonderful.

It's a world where personal resolve and the right shoes can reweave the fabric of your life. Where the right clothes and a can-do attitude are the passkey to Tall, Dark and Handsome. Most of all, everything wraps up neatly and with no unresolved questions.

And tonight I want it badly.
