LJ Idol 5.12 My Favorite Story

Anyone who says their favorite story is anything other than their own life is simply lying.

How could it not be? I know my life story is my favorite.

It's filled with action (finding myself driving late at night through twisty mountain roads while being followed since I am a line of defense between a famous actor and his over adoring fan), adventure (Escorting a VIP through a convention and keeping the fans at bay so they could get to a meeting which launched the next part of their career), romance (anything with Peter and me), birth (Caroline), deaths (More than I care count for this year), and exciting chases (and if you don't think sprinting after a fleeing, yet laughing, two year old across a busy parking lot isn't exciting, then you don't know from exciting).

It has a vast, even sprawling supporting cast filled with peculiar and memorable characters, it's long-running, I'm the main character, and I have absolutely no idea what' s going to happen next. But I can't wait to find out and I hope it never ends. Or if it does, I don't want to be there when it happens.

Thank you.

This made me feel warm inside.

Wow. This is a very unique way to look at one's life, and I find I can do it with my own :)

So who would you pick to play you in the movie?

And I so want details of some of this!

I really liked this and never really thought about it like that. Now after reading this, it's like yeah, so so true.
Nice job!

This was a different perspective on this week's topic... Great way to think of life in general!

Great take on this topic. I agree that life is the best story of all.

I didn't find this to be a very easy topic either. (Sigh)

Nicely written.

It's really true that we are the stars of our own stories if not the director/writer.

Isn't Joe's success amazing. Saw 'The Changling' last week and thought it was just so well written.

A friend said to me once that we're all just an infinitely bored god, split into parts, dreaming. One day, we will come back together and share all our stories. I find that strangely comforting.

Very good take on the topic :)

I'm sure your life makes an interesting story! Smile. Having just read bits and pieces of it of course! Smile
