My little blog

Some thoughts that I have from time to time:

Monday, July 18, 2005

If you asked me to describe the characters from a book that I had read, I could go into very detailed descriptions of the characters I imagine living out these stories from the book. Except I always have one character that I can never descibe cause even while I read the book, I have only the feeling of him, but no idea what he looks like. He's always the hero or major love interest.
I guess maybe this goes along with Jung's Archetype theory, and for some reason I have no Hero Archetype.
Which is weird cause I was raised in a very balanced family with a mom, a dad, and a brother.
I have had play boyfriends , and real boyfriends as an adult...but still no hero.
Although as a kid I would say to my play boyriends..."You are the knight/prince/mighty mouse and you need to beat up the evil wizard/mean man/or ugly warlock (my brother) and save me from the top of the castle (monkey bars).

But in my overly imaginative mind I believe that my grown up "hero" only comes out when I read..and that one day I'll meet him and when I do meet him, every story I have ever read will finally be complete.
I guess I shouldn't be so focused on this god knows I have so many other things that need attention..but for some reason I feel like my soul is begging for someone to come out and rescue me from the top of the monkey bars.
I've been up here for way too long.
