Favorite Book*

Everyone should have a favorite book, just like how everyone has a favorite movie! So what is your favorite book?

Mine for years since high school when it was mandatory to read was and continues to be

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Here are some of my favorite quotes and/or descriptions [because I love creative writing]:

"A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twistin them up toward the frosted wedding cake of the ceiling--and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea" [Description pg 12]

pg 20 Daisy says, "I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool--that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."

This is such an interesting way as to describe someone! [but I LOVE IT!]

Pg 127 Gatsby says, "Her voice is full of money."

It was full of the money-that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it, the cymbals' song of it."

pg 163 Narrator says, "You're worth the whole damn bunch put together."

Pg 180 "Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead, after that my own rule is to let everything alone."

*If you don't have a favorite book, go buy one and read it! I recommend, besides The Great Gatsby, The Feast of Love by Charles Baxter. This was recommended to me by my creative writing teacher & it is amazing. I love it--it can be tied w/ the Great Gatsby!

ADIOSS :]

Everybody wants Change

Well, maybe not everybody wants change, but I thrive off of change. You need to welcome change with arms wide open*

As Rosanne Cash once said, "The key to change. . . is to let go of fear."

Lastly, Keri Russell, "Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever."

Go confidently tonight. Go be you. Go change something. Voice your opinion. Be different. Be respected. Be you. Be you. Be you.

Don't follow others, do your own thing. You are an individual who can change the world.

ADIOSS :]

Life.

I simply want to post this picture. It kind of goes with the mission statement--think about your life. You live once. You need to live it to its fullest potential. You need to do everything that you want to do.

[I saw this picture on a blog I love: 17WestLane. -check it out]

Live freely.

Live happily.

Live each moment.

Do the most random things.

I'll tell you mine at a later date, so be thinking of yours.

Most of all.

Enjoy Life.

ADIOSS :]
