Mood: thoughtful


School is starting soon, and I have to say, I don't have the horrible feeling a would normally have. Naturally, I don't want to re enter the place that torments me with constant busy-work, never-ending rules, and non stop drama, but for some reason, I am not dreading it.

For one, the drama scene, isn't really for me anymore. I know it's really cliche and all but I really feel like a bigger person this year. I am not going to take part in the tempting but horribly humiliating "Wilson Drama"
I am telling you, if you don't go to Wilson, you don't know what drama really is.

This year, hopefully I am going to focus on my school work. I have really been thinking about what I want to do with my life lately, and I have no idea. That makes it more neccessary for me to work hard at EVERYTHING. I think I want to write. But not for something superficial like VOGUE or SEVENTEEN, although i do love the magazines. I also, would hate writing in a newspaper column, although that's probably where I would have to start out. I want to write to inspire. I want to change things. I want to change people. I want my writings about my thoughts and daily struggles to really give someone that push they really need to either change themselves or change the world.
I can't really figure out where I would go with this though. Writing a book is really overrated and it takes too long. Plus, what would I call it?? I dont think I could come up with a name that really says what its all about. And when I would come up with that name, it wouldnt catch anyones attention.

Thats what I hate about titles. I really dont think books should have titles. Because honestly, the best titles are on those stupid romance novels at the grocery store. Do you know what I am talking about?? The ones at the ends of the aisle or in the 1 dollar box. The ones where just looking at the cover makes you feel trashy? I hate those. But without knowing what it was about, would you pick between "Catcher in the Rye" or "Midnight Secrets by the Lake" haha. Well Catcher in the Rye sounds really lame to me. I guess the other title does too, but I think you get it. I know I do.

The point is, books shouldnt have titles.
Wow, I am really off topic. So, my book wouldnt have a title. People would pick it up then. Maybe I will write a book then. A title less novel. Probably not.
Wow, I am still really far off topic.

So lets end it with....

umm...
I am not dreading the fact that school is starting because I am truly excited about the rest of my life.

ultimate - July 29th, 2008 if you ever do write a book i want a specialized copy =] and you could always name it, the tileless book, a novel by b.w.

koi - August 03rd, 2008 I agree. Sometimes the title of a book can be misleading. Have you ever walked through a library? Most books only have their spines exposed on the shelves. They're probably organized by genre or type, but the most immediate thing that sets them apart (reading-wise) is the title. And I agree, I had NO idea what Catcher in the Rye was talking about. Could of meant a farmer in a field for all I cared. But I wanted to know more about it and when I learned about Holden's dream, I thought the title was brilliant. There could absolutely not be a better title for that book, I think. And *five about the feeling bigger part. I feel like this year I am going to approach the things that had hindered me last year much differently. I was reading in Vogue that at first one person follows fashion trends like a hound dog, but later is liberated and is free to wear whatever they want whenever they feel like it, and while looking fawesome at it too. I loved your post. Don't be afraid to digress. You dive into some brilliant things. ^^
