I'm Actually a Character from a Book

"What if books/movies/tv-shows are just cover ups of things that really happened?" 
This was a thought I had a little while ago. I kinda forgot about it, but I just finished watching the Supernatural episode The Monster at the End of This Book (s04e18), in which Sam and Dean find books about their life story and it made me think about it again. I mean, it's not possible (or is it?) but it's funny to think about it. Try imagining what it would be like when you'd discover that you're actually a character from a book or when you'd suddenly run into your favourite fictional character. How would you react when that character introduces himself/herself? And how would that character react when you tell him/her you know about him/her because you've read about him/her or because you've seen his/her movie/show?


I kind of tried to write down how I'd react when I'd meet one of my favourite fictional characters: The Doctor. Beware, it's weird.


Me: *walks around in town, suddenly bumps into a guy with a tweed jacket and a bow tie* Woops, sorry. Wow, are you Matt Smith?
11: Uh, no. I'm the Doctor.
Me: Yeah right. Do you've got a blue box that's really bigger on the inside?
11: How do you know that?
Me: I watch tv.
11: Tv? Have I been on the news again? Did I look good?
Me: Uh, well, there's a whole show about you.
11: Really? They do make me look good I hope.
Me: So what? You're real? You're really real?
11: I think...
Me: Can I see the TARDIS and  come with you? Please?
11: I don't think that's a good idea. Don't you have school tomorrow?
Me: Yeah, but that doesn't matter because you've got a time machine. 
11: *thinks about it* Very well *leads me to the TARDIS, opens it* After you.
Me: *steps inside* Oh, cool, it's even better than on tv.
11: Of course it is! Now, where'd you wanna go?


Okay, wow, that was weird. It was so much cooler in my head.


Anyway, this is what my mind sometimes does. Mostly when I get tired and can't think logical any more, like, right now.... I think it would be a good idea to hit the sack before things get even worse. But I won't go without leaving you with a question: who would you like to meet and how would that meeting go?


Goodnight and till next time!

The Future is Here!

Well, not really, because if you think of it, the future is never here, because it's always in, well, the future.


I've been thinking a lot about the future lately. I don't know why. I'm just thinking a lot lately. I'm growing up (well, not really, I'm just 17), next year I'm gonna have to decide what I'm gonna do after school and really, I have no bloody idea - maybe I'm gonna travel for a year, or gonna do some volunteer work in some place, or I'm gonna go to college to study Journalism or Psychology or maybe I'll change my mind in the next few months and am I going to do something totally different. Who knows, right?


Sometimes the future frightens me. I don't know why. (I also don't know why I'm saying "I don't know why" a lot.) Maybe because the future is just one creepy thing because you never know for sure what's going to happen. But sometimes I like imagining about the future. After some chats with Chantal, I came to the conclusion I'm probably going to be a writer who lives in an old estate together with a dog (either a German Shepherd or a Husky or another big and active breed), and when I'll have published another book I'll  take my car (which is probably going to be an old car, like an old big dusty jeep (or a Chevy Impala ;)), or a Mini Cooper Cabrio or something) and travel for a few months, and when I'll come back I'll start writing the next book. And then some day I'll meet a nice guy who can actually tolerate my craziness and we'll marry and start a family. *sighs* Sounds like fun.


So, what do you think of the future? Can you imagine yourself having a family, or having a great job, or something else?


Note: You've probably noticed that 1) this is the first post on this blog after a very long time and 2) this is written a bit different than my older posts. Well, time makes you bolder, children get older, and I'm getting older too. (Yes, Landslide lyrics :P) Anyway, I felt like writing a 'real' blog post again.
I'm currently writing a lot (check out two of my stories,  Magical Mischief and Time Task) and well, school is also a big priority. I am planning to post some more on here, so check it out from time to time (or not). You can also leave a comment/message/something else, I'd love to hear from you!
