Story of my Life

Often posed is a question of imense imprtance. Who would play you in the story of your life?

This came up when I watched The Vow a few weeks ago and then learned that it was based on a real story. I could total pick Channing Tatum for a husband.

In the story of your life you always pick a famous person that you like. I would pick a mash up of Zoey Deschanel and Jennifer Lawrence.

Quirky, witty, pretty, kind, amazing hair and wicked awesome fashion sense. I have half of these traits, the other half I aspire to.

Then I got to thinking how unremarkable my life has been and how no one would want to make a movie about me. It made me sad for a minute and then glad as I realized that most movies are based around a central crisis.

 The Vow = amnesia and almost loosing the love of your life

The Notebook = spending a few years almost marrying the wrong person because your mother kept your real love's letters a secret, just to end up with dementia and not remember your husband.

Love Story = Find true love, become estranged from your family, become reunited only because your true love is dying.

Why was I glad? To have the story of my life made into a movie it would require loosing something dear to me. I have the things most dear to me very near me, they are healthy and happy and while we do not live a glamorous life it is pretty good.

I would take Zoey Deschanel's fashion sense and nice hair in a minute though.
