I have been successful once! It's a 500+ pager I read my senior year in high school called "Daughter of the Forest". I was on a bus in Europe with a bunch of classmates and bored out of my mind. This book, handed over from a friend, was my only escape. I quickly became engrossed. I swear there is NO book better than this book. I've tried, remember?
It's about a girl who was supposed to be the 7th son of a 7th son (I think). An evil witch brainwashes her father into marrying her. Soon after, the evil witch turns her 6 older brothers into swans and tells the daughter (of the forest) she can't speak a word and only after she makes 6 clokes out of starwort (this is a prickly plant that secretes poison when you touch it, probably a real thing) can her brothers curse be lifted. It's a fantasy novel, in case you were still wondering up to this point. Oh, and I think she also has to find true love cause that definitely happens.
I'm not ashamed, though when I explain this book [to much of my delight] to my friends, they look at me like I'm a one-eyed monster. I actually read this book twice. And I'll probably read it again, starting tonight.
Have I lost you? I have a point.. but probably not a real good one.
I don't read books. But I DO read blogs! I just discovered the vast world of blogging (thank you sister, and sisters friends, and other friends). It's an epidemic, and it has officially plagued me.
I spent the ENTIRE DAY today reading some girls blog. She started it in 2007, at least 5 blogs per month. Let's do the math. (Math, unlike reading, is my strong suit) I read a mineemum of 240 postings non-stop in one DAY from her. So that's why my laundry is piled to the ceiling and my cat hasn't been fed.
This weekend I saw a preview for an upcoming movie and one of the line-clingers (its a word) was (in a deep powerful man's voice) "Cause I have a voice!!!". Hey, me too! I guess I see value in documenting my thoughts and life. I also hope it provides some sort of self-therapy. From what you ask? I don't know, life.
I am going to totally WING this.
