ramblings of the perpetual new girl

Oh hey look at this... a top ten list featured on The Broke and The Bookish that won't leave me gutted if I accidentally leave someone off. Woohoo. Pretty excited about this grouping too because well... I was able to think of a lot right off the bat without a lot of overthinking. Okay... maybe a little overthinking because I only chose characters that I thought would be awesome in live theater but were not performers in their fictional universes. So without further ado... 1) Emily of New Moon ~ yeah... I know Anne of Green Gables probably should be on this list, but seriously, I have always adored Emily slightly more than Anne and if ever a fictional character was destined for the stage, it's her! 2) Daphne Bridgerton from the Duke and I ~ well... she does maintain a ruse very, very well and Simon totally buys it while falling in love with her but she's got that sparkle and mischief and penchant for pretend that would make her an amazing actress for the stage.

To truly pull out all the stops, because truthfully, there are too many quotes to choose from and I am already feeling overwhelmed, I am taking a page out of   "What Sarah Reads" and choosing to pair my quotes with how they made me feel. This way I can parse some of my favorites into this post quicker. When life seems more than I can handle...  “Just… isn’t giving up allowed sometimes? Isn’t it okay to say, ‘This really hurts, so I’m going to stop trying’?” “It sets a dangerous precedent.” “For avoiding pain?” “For avoiding life.” ~ Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live. ” ~ J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone When people make no sense to me...  "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside his skin and walk around in it."  ~ Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird "Destroying things is much easier than making them." ~ S

You know you're a little bit funny when you read a title like the one selected for this week's Top Ten List and everyone seems confused about it, but you. Oh, there are so many characters that I have wondered, just what are you doing now. Nevermind that they are fictional. You can pretend along with me, right? I am not the only on this planet who imagines forgets  their favorite people aren't really living, breathing. That didn't sound so creepy in my head as it does reading outloud. Oops. Thanks The Broke and The Bookish for giving me a list that makes me look like I cannot delineate reality from fiction. Wanna meet some of the best people that exist only inside the pages of a book? (Here ya go.) Also beware of SPOILERS because uhm... yeah... these blurbs are what I hope is happening now that these books have ended. 1) Eleanor & Park If I were to check in on these two... I'd say that these two are still madly in love and have a small house togethe
