So I realised that the title of my blog may puzzle those of you who don't have all of the scripts of Gilmore Girls memorised. So it's taken from a quote from one of my favourite episodes, where Rory graduates from highschool. She discusses the influence of those around her, and her love of reading.
She says;
"We never thought this day would come. We prayed for its quick delivery, crossed days off our calendars, counted hours, minutes and seconds and now that it's here, I'm sorry it is, because it means leaving friends who inspire me and teachers who've been my mentors, so many people who've shaped my life, and my fellow students lives impermeably and forever. I live in two worlds. One is a world of books. I've been a resident of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County, hunted the white whale aboard the Pequod, fought alongside Napoleon, sailed a raft with Huck and Jim, committed absurdities with Ignatius J. Reilly, rode a sad train with Anna Karenina and strolled down Swann's Way. It's a rewarding world, but my second one is by far superior. My second one is populated with characters slightly less eccentric, but supremely real, made of flesh and bone, full of love, who are my ultimate inspiration for everything."This led me to rewrite my own version of this, inserting different words & phrases where appropriate;
"I live in two worlds. One is a world of books. I've been a resident of Baum's Emerald City, hunted Dracula with Van Helsing, flown across the western sky with Elphaba, sailed a raft with Huck and Jim, bought flowers with Clarissa Dalloway, lived a sad life with Catherine Earnshaw and strolled through the Shire. It's a rewarding world, but my second one is by far superior. My second one is populated with characters slightly less eccentric, but supremely real, made of flesh and bone, full of love, who are my ultimate inspiration for everything."So, I guess you could say that my title comes from the influence of significant people in my life. Certain family members, friends, teachers, church family and others.
Until next time fellow humans....
