Does serendipity exist?

I think I've realized that fantasy novels gave me a very clear idea of the kind of woman I would be:
Independent
Pursue a career in what I love
Not take crap from anyone
Somehow become amazing successful doing what I love (success to me is not measured in money btw)

Also it gave me a very clear idea of what kind of guy I wanted to end up with:
Passionate
Talented
Respects me for being who I am
Someone who loves me for me

Now... I think those are amazing things that I got out of reading what I did growing up. (Thanks Mercedes Lackey, I should invite you to my wedding. If I ever have one.) Also recently I've decided that I probably won't get married. I'm going to take a lover. (lol. I'm kidding but really I don't care so much about the wedding, more about finding the guy... eventually. I just think its fun to say taking a lover.)

Anyway that was an interesting side note. What I was getting to was inspired by a conversation with my roommate and the fact that I just watched the end of the movie Serendipity on tv. One thing that I think Fantasy novels doesn't make real enough if how people meet. Or how relationships start. Which is something I really want to do well in my novel. I was rereading a series I read when I was little. There were 8 books in the series and I loved all of them. (Back then when I read them.) Rereading them, there were things I still liked about them but how the people met/fell in love was SOOO unrealistic. A freak hurricane blew his ship off course and he landed on an island which just so happened to have a princess there, who was single and they were perfect for each other. What bull shit! Yes I'm being a cynic here, but really.

So I think that's something that's missing from most fantasy. I like the parody I'm reading right now. Even though again romantically... its very cliche still. Maybe they won't end up together... haha. How negative am I?

Ok I definitely don't want this to end up being a blog about my love life but since love lives in general are driving the sub plot of my novel thinking about this kind of stuff is good. lol. Anyway I'll stop rambling.

Has anyone noticed I might slightly have ADD? I'm very sorry for the side comments. If you've ever experienced me trying to tell a story in person, you totally understand how I write my blog entries.
