You may give me Lorelai's "ruin" any day of the week. She runs one of the "top ten inns in Connecticut", isn't today the VP of a major international Hospitality Chain simply because by choice, she turn down Mike Amstrong in season 5, raised a top tier grade A kid who adores her and will be a succesful Ivy league graduate with a great career; will inherit, along with Rory, everything in the Gilmore Estate once the elder Gilmores pass into the Great Beyond. Will soon have an ex-husband millionaire who will grovel at her feet 'till he dies 'cause he still worships her and will give her any money she asks (not that Lorelai will ever ask, of course.) Has another guy that apparently still worships her unconditionally and will wait forever for her, ('till she has her epiphany), even though she slept with another guy while he thought they were still engaged. And she will perhaps one day call a Huntzberger (who in this fictional world apparently are the most powerful family in the world of Journalism) her son-in-law.

I would love to be, one day, thus ruined.
