I read the first chapter… before the weekend started; just like I promised.
The first few chapters extracted tears, laughter, quizzical moments -- it felt surreal.
Sure it’s cliché; yet, I feel my photo slowly being transposed with the word in the dictionary with each chapter I read.
Seriously! (That being my newest over-used adjective.)
I can’t adequately describe the connection between the author and myself . . . not so much on the outside such that anyone else can observe (at the very least, she’s a celebrity - hello! And I am - uhh, NOT {drama queen, maybe}!)
So, I ask, how can our lives been eerily the same yet, so drastically different?
Perhaps it’s the foggy scene where she’s climbing into my journal to extract my life philosphies, paralyzing insecurities & self-concepts, snaps up my quirky decision-making processes and plucks out an emotionally imbalanced idea or two… she tosses them together with a dose of her wry wit, celeb friends, a Golden Globe award or two, and ... ta-dah!!! A hysterical, cheeky, tear-inducing book!
The book? Well, I’m not ready to divulge the title yet; seriously honestly… I was a little unnerved that I was reading a book written by ... a celebrity.
That’s what’s weird, it’s NOT the typical book I read:
self-help "in-a-minute" book for moms leadership in business how-the-heck do I do this parenting boys for the confused mom financial tips for dummies daily devotional for closet perfectionist kids books (with da boyz) for school organization tips for a distractinator how to win friends - b'cause she needs 'em
This was a book loaned to me “just for fun”… because my friend knew I’d enjoy it!
Awww.
Thank you VERY much my Friend!! It means you know me well (maybe too well).
Seriously though, this doesn't necessarily mean you’ll be instantly privy to the rest of my psychosis and the 'inside scoop'; Miss Celebrity is already getting royalties for the book written from my journal pages.
Just kidding, I’ll have more unpublished, non-celebrity plagiarisms soon, uhh ...
I meant blogs!
Dying to know which celebrity is borrowing your life!
ReplyDeleteAlso, are you a secret celebrity?
Are you like Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, only grown up?
