I'm taking the day OFF. That means, I'm not picking up my camera, and I'm not feeling guilty about it. Mostly because I have been a crazy picture taking/editing/analyzing fiend over the past few weeks, due to upcoming final projects. Culmination of self and technique and creativity. All rolled into one. A bit daunting at times. So I'm not doing it today.
I spent most of the day cleaning my bathroom and bedroom, folding laundry, eating gummy bears and watching Youtube. And again, NOT FEELING GUILTY.
So as I was watching Youtube, and mostly watching clips from some of my favorite shows and such, I started thinking about fictional characters, and how pathetic it is that sometimes I like fictional characters more than actual human beings. So I made a list of 5 of my would-be bff's if fiction were reality.
1. Elizabeth Bennett: This is a given, since she is one of the most dynamic female characters ever written. In my humble opinion. As an all knowing literary critic.
Liz and I would swap books and empire waist dresses. She wouldn't have to feel so out of place as an 18th century outspoken, sarcastic female, because I'd be right there with her. Definite bff's.
2. Pam Beesley: Pam and I would totally get along. Not to mention, she and Jim would be the perfect couple for McKay and I to double with. And as we are both aspiring artists, Pam and I share common interests. Plus, Pam is a little bit nicer than I am, so she'd be a good influence on me, I think.
3. Elaine Benes: On the other hand, Elaine would be someone that I could be on my worst behavior and feel completely comfortable with. And we would do fun things together, like go to art shows and the theater and people watch the entire time.
4. Princess Leia: I am all for intergalactic friendships. And being friends with a Princess would probably be pretty cool, too. Since she can fly a space ship and has political power, I really don't think there's anything that we couldn't do.
5. Sydney Bristow: I am a solid and faithful fan of Alias. At least the first to secondish seasons. And Sydney is hard core. I totally admire how she can kick butt. She would be my part time personal trainer, teaching me death grips and cool kicks, and the other half of the time we would hang out, probably go shopping. I'd have her show me where she buys all of her awesome disguises. I am in need of a pink wig that shapes my face and makes me look super hot. Besides that, she is loyal. If I were ever to be captured by terrorists, she would so fly half way around the world to save me. I could definitely use a friend like that.
So, there you have it. My five fictional sisters. I know you're now thinking about who yours would be...
