To continue...

Adding on to my last post:

Stephenie Meyer, I salute you. Twilight and New Moon are the only books other than ToTC that I can say I've fallen in love with.

If I don't find my own Edward Cullen in real life, I don't know what I'll do. Bella is the luckiest girl in her fictional world...

*sigh* Why can't life be a fairy tale love story?

And why can't vampires be real? :[

Abigail Darnay?

Anyone who's read my profile on this site knows that one of my favorite books is Tale of Two Cities. If I could have highlighted it in bold, put it in italics, and underlined it in my profile, I would have, because it is my favorite of them all. Nothing can compare.

Anyone who is literate should read it in their lifetime. That is not a request, but an order. I love it.

Why do I like it so much?

Well...

I kind of fell in love with one of the main characters.

Literally, in love.

He was the kind of man that you'd never find in real life--courageous, caring, strong yet sensitive. As I read on, I found myself wishing I was his wife Lucie, or even his daughter Lucie, because he loved them with all his heart. I wanted him to love ME.

Pathetic? A bit.

It's not as pathetic as I originally thought, though. I've seen others fall in love with fictional characters. It's easy to become emotionally attached when you read their every thought, their every desire, their deep-down beliefs and dreams. When you know everything about someone and that everything is something you love, it's only natural to love them (even if they don't actually exist...).

So though my name on this blog is Abigail Morgan, it's only because Lucie beat me to Charles. Stupid whore stole my man...

:P Au revoir ♥

It's not just a city... It's MY city.

I finally made some plans for after college! :D

They are, however, not what you are probably thinking.

Here it is: A good friend of mine (we'll call him Bob) asked me to be his roommate in Detroit. We both love the city and its good side, and it wouldn't hurt, would it? So yesterday he sent me pictures of possible living spaces and I leafed through them to see what I was interested in.

I can't wait.

Detroit, despite its reputation, is a place I don't mind calling "home." Sure, I'm not really from Detroit... Eastpointe, actually, wayyy back... But I live in metro Detroit and it's all right to call it my home city.

Not just that, but Detroit's history is MY history. Being a descendent of the Cadillac line, the history we learn in school of the founding of Detroit and the creation of an urban "auto empire" is my history as well. I am Detroit.

And for those of you who think it's nothing more than slums, eat your words. Every city has its downside... You just hear about Detroit's more than others. I won't deny that there are parts of the city I wouldn't wander through, but you can't say that it's ALL horrible. That's stereotyping- something I have come to hate with a burning, fiery passion.

So that's today's "big deal." An apartment in Detroit with a friend or two and a chance to experience city life that I have never known. Thanks, "Bob"... lol :P

Pseudonyms: Part II

I'm going to make a brief post while I have a few minutes, specifically to mention the fact that I finally chose a middle name for my pseudonym.

How exciting.

It's Christine, in case you can't read the sidebar (to your left... nope, other left... up a bit... yeah, there-- by the picture). Simply stating, the main character in Phantom of the Opera is named Christine. And I can't sing and I'm not strikingly pretty, but she kind of reminds me of myself.

So it's my new middle name.

Plus, it sounds good. And for those of you know me, it's very close to my real name, another reason why I can connect so well with the character in the first place.

So Abigail Christine Morgan finally got herself a middle name. Three cheers for an identity crisis.

The Perfect Season :D

After my dear friends' amazing performances at Saturday's Division meet, I would like to make a short comment on the perfect season our swim team has just completed.

Our titles include:
Undefeated 10-0
Romeo Relay Champs
Tower Relay Champs
County Champs
MAC White Dual Meet Champs
MAC White Division Champs

Yeah... Defeated by NO ONE. (happy sigh)

Oh, and I would also like to add that a certain swimmer came up with the ideal response to Tower's "2, 4, 6, 8- We got more than you can take!" cheer.

Her reply: "7, 8, 9, 10- We're hot."

:D With that being said, I'm out.
