i read something today in a magazine. it said you should live your life as if it's a novel and you're the main character. everyone and everything else is only secondary. i found this particularly interesting. say you're reading a book with a fabulous main character that has everything going for her an absolutely nothing tying her down or holding her back and then all of the sudden this lovely main character starts doing everything in her life based on what the people in her life want her to do or what they think is best. now obviously this main character can be just wonderful alone with the good head she has on her shoulders so why would she follow the secondary figures of the story that are much less interesting to read about? in other words, live your own life. the fabulous, exciting, adventurous, new and fresh every day life you're supposed to be living. would you want your book to be boring or disappointing? i certainly wouldn't. my 2010 life book is going to be written MUCH differently than my 2009 life book, i can promise you that.
speaking of books, i really need to get on my 21 books in 2010 journey. i need some good books to read. i really want to read eat, pray, love. i've heard it's fantastic. i also want to read one or several of kurt vonnegut's books. i really don't know much about them, but i'm quite curious. i also want to read the perks of being a wallflower again. it's been awhile and i know i love that book. too bad i gave my copy to an ex boyfriend :/ wah wah. need to pick up another copy. i think when i move to oklahoma city, i should get a library card. good idea yes? googling that. i need more book ideas though. real bad. if i'm going to get to 21, i want it to be 21 INCREDIBLE books. not 21 mediocre books.
happy new year :)
