HmmmsieMushy entry ahead.
Been reading a few Kinsella books. Got them at a big discount from Carrefour. (On this note, I am trying to locate the elusive original copy of Shopaholic. Apparently current island-wide copies are with Isla Fisher on the cover, and it offensively clashes with the rest of the Shopaholic series I recently acquired.)
Anyway. To go abruptly into the point.
All these years, each time I read a romance novel (I don't intentionally buy.. sometimes people give recycled presents mah) or a romcom chicklit (these I buy and collect), I will conjure images in my head while the book goes along. A big part of this conjuring of course involves how the main guy lead looks like, and me and him doing all those fuzzy things in the book like strolling hand in hand down a flea market in cool London summer while he buys me all sorts of expensive bags while sipping champagne etc.
The appearance and image of my McDreamy doesn't skew too much over the years.. though almost always certain small features change, but more or less it's the same. Even when I was attached those couple of times, this McDreamy is always this "same person" in my imagination; never the ATM bfs.
And then I got with K. From then on, each time my mind conjures something while reading a romcom, well, it's been K's face since.
Dunno if it'll jinx anything by saying this out, but I am kinda convinced that this "replacement" probably says something.
Kinda fuzzy, if it really works out, that is.
I'll be my own romcom lead.
