for
thetenspot Ten Books or Movies that define me (kind of)
1. The Little Princess
I think this probably on every little girl's list and if it isn't it should be. "I'm a princess. All girls are." They did a nice job on the movie too.
2. Gone With The Wind (movie)
It's so Southern Belle. Seriously, I think they show this to every southern girl as like a guide or something. Scarlett O' Hara was who I wanted to be when I grew up. I was her for Halloween several years in a row. Rhett Butler was my first crush. He still kinda is. He's like my first husband.
3. Resident Evil (the second one): I like the first one too but the second on is just so girl power, rawr, kick butt. If I'm having a bad day I put it in and I feel better having imagined that Alice totally rocked whoever made my day bad.
4. The Harry Potter Series (books) It introduced me to my future husband. Okay so that's just in Lucy land and Lucy land in no way resembles reality. Still, it's one of the few books I actually still read.
5. The Yaya Sisterhood (book): I liked the book better than the movie. I think you have to be southern to really get it. You have to have had nights that hot and that humid and you just have to be southern. Anyway, Jill and I have a secret sisterhood. Long before the book or movie. We used to do rituals for it and hold meetings, especially when she was living with her real/asshole parents. I really identify with the movies despite that fact that my mother was amazing, not a drunk and fantastic. Mint Julieps are a way of life in my house though. Mom drinks a lot of them.
6. Say Anything- I don't know why. There's just something about John Cusack with a boombox. My second husband.
7. Romeo and Juliet (movie): The one with Leo in it. Because I never want to be in love like that. Okay, in theory it sounds nice. The whole forsaking your family and running away and secrt marriage...whatever. They die though! D.I.E. As in dead. D.E.A.D. Forever. Like dust and bones and ewww. I want to be in love and live.
8.Cinderella: Because they live.
9. The Bible: Because I'm not the best person in the whole world but neither was Mary Magdalene and Jesus loved her. If you believe the Da Vinci Code he likes whoa really loved her but I don't think I believe it.
10. The OC s4 (yes I know it's a tv show) Because apparently Berkeley has guys like Ryan Atwood and Seth Cohen (oh come on you know his dorkiness is sexy) I just haven't met them yet.

I like Sleeping Beauty...except she sorta slept a lot of her life away. Which is kind of totally a valid way to live your life. They live too so it's a good thing. Unless you're going to tell me the real Sleeping Beauty keeled over of cancer or something after hooking up with the Prince. Or oh God! Something worse like an STD.

Now in Sleeping Beauty she didn't sleep her life away at all. She was taken from her parents for her own protection, and then when they told her the truth THEN she still pricked her finger but instead of dying she fell asleep along with everyone else until she was awoken by her true love. Then everyone woke up without knowing that all the bad stuff happened.
Sounds good to me.

That does sound pretty good. I may have to change this list.

So what happens if I dare? I mean...what if I were to cross out Cinderella and put Sleeping Beauty?

Changing though, that could be done.
