The ROSS Dilemma

So, according to some of my friends, I am going to grow up and be just like Melanie Parker (Michelle Pfeiffer) in the movie One Fine Day. Im not sure why they think this or what the exact traits are that I will embody but apparently I will be able to make my kids costumes out of stuff I find in my purse. This wouldn't be so bad though because in the end Mel ends up with George Clooney, that can only be a good thing and costumes are always cool no matter what. However, these same friends tell me that I won't end up with a guy like George Clooney but rather I will end up marrying someone more like Ross from Friends. The reasoning behind the whole Ross idea is that he is a scientist and he likes dinosaurs and he is a bit of a freak, therefore we would be a perfect match. Of course, that kind of reasoning is super fantastic in imaginary land! My point is that I don't think my friends really know me. I know they think they know me but they really only know the version of me that I have let them see and only a select few have seen the version closest to what I know to be me. I know that this is not anyone's fault but my own, but I think this is probably why I disagree with them on the whole Ross thing and ( to a lesser extent) the Melanie thing. Well, I guess thats it, tell me what you think.
