Okay so my subject was submitted by:
Climaxed (Love the name by the way. I know it means something else, but hehe)
My subject is:
Your life story is going to be turned into a movie. You're given the choice of a true-to-life, potentially gritty documentary full of interviews from people who know all your secrets but also the real you or a highly glamorized, full-of-liberties Hollywood drama. Which do you choose? If a documentary, what would you hope your friends and family talk about? What happened in your life that would HAVE to be included? If a Hollywood film, who would play you? What sorts of liberties would you want the film to take with your story?
I will have to choose the TRUE-TO-LIFE documentary. I don't want some snobby, glamorized ditz playing me. I don't embarrass easily so the interviews won't really bother me. Unless someone picks their nose and eats it. GROSS!!
I hope my family talks about how I changed their life forever. How I made it the best ever. That I am truly a remarkable person with no faults and flaws.
My friends, however, I want them to say how they idolized me. They looked up to me like I was a goddess of brains and humor and beauty. How I made their lives full of humor and full of love. They just couldn't get enough of me. I am the best friend they have ever.
Hey, I can dream right? I just want them to be truthful. About our friendships, and the love. The stories we shared and the laughter we had.
What happened in my life that MUST be included is, well there are several things. My marriage, my kids, career. Oh and my book. I am only on chapter 2, but it is coming along. I am trying to put every detail into without going overboard. I am learning how to do that now.
Go check out the other bloggers that participated in the swap.
I'm so glad you went with the honest approach, and that you have great hopes as to how people perceive your presence in their lives.
ReplyDeleteI'll make sure your life story is told correctly........if you make sure mine is funnier than it really is! lol
ReplyDeleteToo funny!!!! Good luck with the book!!!
ReplyDeleteClimaxed is about the town, but I have to admit it's a bit tongue-in-cheek, too. Ha. I can't tell you how many Climax jokes I have heard in my life time and I had to sort of embrace the innuendo and double entendres when it comes to where I live. I like that you chose the true-to-life documentary. I think I'd want the same. I'm writing my own novel currently and like you, I'd definitely want that included. It's such a big part of my life as I'm sure it is for you as well!
ReplyDeleteWith what you want your friends to say about you, I would chose the glamorized Hollywood version, so they didn't have a choice... Wait, what? I didn't say that.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear more about this book, even if you're only on chapter 2... :)
"Being bloggie" is an expression for sure!
ReplyDeleteIn your book make sure to mention that you are truly a remarkable person WITH faults and flaws!
I'd probably watch the documentary... I guess in real life though, I'll be reading a book some day? Well that makes it sound like I don't read books, which I haven't really done since the onslaught of reproduction, but I really meant it as when you finish your book, I will be interested in reading it. The timing sounds pretty good with it actually. Next school year, all 3 of my kids will be in school, meaning if I get all 3 of them there on time and no one gets sick, breaks an arm, or catches head lice, I get almost 8 hours to myself 5 days a week. It will be like having an anti-job, like where the regular work week is spaced out for reading books, facebooking, and giving myself a pedi.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous, I will only have 2 in school this year and 1 of them will be on half days. Then next year 2 will be full day and 1 will be half day. I am almost there to having all 3 in school full time. I will definitely let you know when it is out!
