The Bookworm Epidemic


Trapped in the house in my windowless room, while the whole house is asleep. How do I escape? Bring on the books!!! I spend the next few hours absorbing the first 300 pages of Gone With the Wind. As my nose remains firmly wedged between the pages of the incredible story, I bask in the beauty and eloquence of the writing and character depth.

Soon I am there, smoothing my petty coats along side Scarlette O' Hara and Melly Wilkes. Fluttering my taffeta fan and enjoying the glory of being a southern belle.

Wincing at the flare of Scarlettes temper, and admiring the more gentlemanly side of Rhett Buttler.

All the while thinking, how does one write something so..... inspiring, glorious, REAL.

You have to know your characters inside and out, you have to know what you're talking about, and live in each of there shoes.

The witty dialogue, the picture of the absolute reality of cruel, hard, changing life.

I hope some day, maybe, I can write something so moving and real, that it will never be forgotten.

    You need to get the movie, a bushel of popcorn and some friends and have a GWTW party. The book is much better, of course. But the movie is an all time classic.

Lists

Lists , Lists, endless lists. Things to do, stuff to wash, errands to run, stuff to buy. Why do most of my to do lists end up costing me everything in my wallet? I've really come to hate money, I don't even get to see most of the money I make. I just take a piece of paper with numbers on it to the bank so they can do some elementary math and add more numbers to my other numbers. This world seems to run on how many numbers you have. And the person with the most numbers gets the most power. It's like some sick Math game designed to melt your brain. All it would take would be some technical malfunction to add of subtract a few zeros from the end of your number stack and then all of a sudden you're sunk, or sitting pretty. Need I say more?
