Dharma and Greg

I always liked the show Dharma and Greg, but I think originally because they were such an odd couple. I used to want to find a partner who was, when I think about it, just like me. I thought Dharma and Greg's incredibly different backgrounds and interests made for an amusing storyline, but nothing more. But over the past couple of years or so, their relationship, or what it signifies has become more interesting to me. I suppose in many ways I saw, and still see, myself as a Greg. But over time, I've come to realize I don't want to spend all of my time with another Greg, in girls clothes - I'd rather be around someone different from me, someone who can amaze and surprise me with their different perspective and personality and interests. Not that I would want to settle down with someone completely different from me, but the idea of being with someone who is more "artsy" and less serious than me is very appealing. Maybe it's because, as a young adult, I've started to discover an "artsy" and alternative side of myself, and I'd like someone who can relate to that, and even tease it out of me a little. And I guess even broader than that, I've just become more open to possibilities, and not trying to design someone in my head. That would not be at all surprising.

(I wonder if I'll have the same perspective in 3 years? Maybe I'll want another Gregette again?)
