if harry really could be my friend....

and i could live in narnia while attending hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry and my boyfriend was a vampire. i think that might just be my perfect life. or something like that. :)

lately, i've been super into reading books. and not only reading them, but wanting to live and experience them. this past winter when reading the "harry potter" series i really wanted to go to london and board the hogwarts express for myself. i wanted to be friends with ron and herminone and go on all sorts of adventures. i wanted to help harry beat voldermort (excuse me "he who must not be named"), well, maybe just watch him beat voldemort. and i wanted to somehow have a wand of my own.

i read "the devil wears prada" and secretly wished i was single woman who got carted around in town cars and wondered which jimmy choos she should wear today. and wished that i could go to paris during fashion week.

and now i am reading "the chronicles of narnia" series and have gotten quite involved with those too. i have visions of seeing narnia for the first time when aslan was creating it. i wish that when i went into my closet it would lead into a snowy wood (or maybe a tropical paradise, but if we are talking about magical closets here, i won't get picky).

this past week i also watched "twlight" and had a sudden urge to meet a vampire. (a nice one though, who was a supposed "vegetarian" and wouldn't want to eat me). what's the deal? i guess these people must be really good writers, because they sure do take me to other worlds!

but all that aside, i do like my little world too. my world of naptimes, mickey mouse, smears of peanut butter and smelly diapers (well, not that one.) so though all those fantasies seem fun, i do sorta like my own reality.

sadly the picture on my blog was not one i took. i wish.

p.s. you and my dave are like 2 peas in a pod. he reads the harry potter series, etc. and wishes the same thing. though he doesn't like to admit it.

You are too cute! Look at you loving all the sci fi.:) When I was younger and my mom read us the Narnia books, and we rented the ORIGINAL Lion Witch and Wardrobe movie from Lake Av (oh ya you should check it out) I pretended our hall closet was the "wardrobe" and that I would end up in Narnia. Somehow, despite my parents telling me otherwise, I thought it would work. Oh young Rebecca...

See you soon! I'm still planning sometime mid/end of June if thats ok! :):):)

I LOVE the Chronicles of Narnia. I read them all when I was pregnant and worked front desk or in the gift shop so I could sit down at work. I also love C.S. Lewis's space trillogy (and I despise most sci-fi things). Check them out, the first one is called The Silent Planet. Read them in order, even if people tell you it isn't necessary. It's better that way. :) They aren't as fantasy like, but if you're in need of a good book... I love them.
I wish I had a magic wardrobe...! And I would LOVE to ride a centaur or meet a faun!

haha!! Cerissa don't need no magic sexy pants!! She's got the "magic" right in her amazing legs! Yowza!! haha :D

I love being carried away in fictional fantasies too... Try "The Shack" - it's intense, is based around a horrible murder, but it's all about getting to really know God!!! Bestest book I read in a while...
