Racheal of Green Gables!!!
I apologise for this entry but I think I am having my yearly crisis, as my birthday looms on the horizon screaming at me 'YOU ARE GETTING OLD!'. :OD
This Sat evening I took another trip down memory lane - back to the School Summer Holidays. Every summer of my teenage years I looked forward to the annual TV airing of Anne of Green Gables - a cheesy bit of girlie TV and I loved every second of it! I went to see my gracious hostess friends, Charlie and Becky, for another of our regular video and pizza nights and there it was on DVD. I couldn't believe it!!
As I watched I realised that Anne represented the girl I used to be! 'Anne with an E' talked the hind legs off anyone, waffling on about pointless rubbish, getting lost in romance and fantasy, being overdramatic, revelling in her imagination, talking to imaginary friends, blurting out the truth no matter what the consequences and not changing herself for anyone. My mother used to compare us a lot! I was very offended then, but now I wish I had hung onto her a bit more. Well, maybe I have, a little part of her at least! I still have the ability to talk (and write!) non stop I know, so she must be still there! I want to get back that joy of fantasy and imagination so I think I might make a new resolution for the end of the year.
A past boyfriend of mine once said to me 'Life is not like the movies' and it was like a depressing dose of reality to me, but, well, now I beg to differ! I think 'Why the hell not?!'. Why can't we believe in our knights in shining armour, in true love, in unbreakable loyal friendships and embrace the beautiful world around us as the most unappreciated yet wonderful thing we have?! So my new resolution is going to be: to read more books, to watch more movies, to get a new imaginary friend, to take more pictures and to let my imagination run wild just now and again! I'm over 30 years old but who said I can't still be a kid?!
