Well, I have always found this quote, from Cornelia Funke's Inkheart, fitting for my life at times...
"My dear, you were obviously born into the wrong story."
Except the story that I was meant to be born into changes all the time.
Sometimes it is my own and other times (typically depending upon the book or movie that I am loving at the time) it is a far different time and place. If I watch Downton Abbey, I want to live in Yorkshire in the early 1900s. I have always felt that my soul would fit right into a Jane Austen novel or that I would make the perfect Jo March and run a school for boys in the late 1800s. Sometimes I want to live in the wild west and ride the range. Other times I feel an inkling to go back to small town America when it was just blooming.. think "Little House on the Prairie."
I think those would probably be my favorites, though there are tons of others I think I would like to try out. Like maybe a boarding school during the 1960s. Sounds fun?! Ok, well it was in "The Trouble with Angels."
I do know that I can't live with the dinosaurs. I would not make a good cave woman! Though watching The Croods did make it a little more appealing. Such a cute movie; you should totally see it!
TROUBLE WITH ANGELS! I cannot believe you threw in that movie - I LOVE LOVE LOVE that movie!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. I haven't watched it in years. I actually bought the DVD, just to have, but haven't watched anything but the VHS.
And now I'm going on a tangent.
Thanks for linking up!
hahahah I LOVED The Croods!! They did make it a little more romantic, but only a slight bit.
ReplyDeleteIf only we could jump right into Downton Abbey. If only.
I didn't even think about little women when I was writing my whatever wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThat's a glaring omission on my part.
I'm glad I'm not alone in wanting to live in books.
