Meditation: Michelle Williams, Jason Segel, and unrealistic expections

Olga, model, on the street in Soho. She’s rocking a Michelle Williams-worthy crop, which I think we can all agree is no mean feat.

While I wouldn’t call myself delusional, I think it’s fair to say that I have an active fantasy life. So when I first learned that Michelle Williams was dating Jason Segel, I have to admit that I was a little disappointed.

Nothing against Michelle, of course. From everything I’ve read about her (and let’s not even talk about how ridiculous it is to pass judgment on someone with whom you’ve never spoken) she seems extremely cool. She reads books, she values time with people close to her, her style is low-key in every respect. How could you not like a person like that?

But Jason Segel! He’s so cute and so funny. And because there is something so down-to-earth about the characters he plays, it’s very easy for the average person to think that he’s actually that down-to-earth in life. By which I mean he’s down-to-earth enough that somehow, if I were in the right place at the right time, he might consider dating me.

So as much as I admire Michelle, a part of me (an insane part, obvs) was a little pissed off when they started dating, just as now a part of me (the same insane part, obvs) is a little excited that Jason is single again. Because clearly our falling in love is as simple as me walking into the Chateau Marmont (or wherever he hangs out) some evening when he’s there with his friends.

Am I the only person that does this?
