Week 2 Reading Part 2

I am a sad, sad puppy! No one gets more carries away with stuff than me. I've read Harry Potter twice - all 7 books! (plus listened to the audio recordings) I've seen the Firefly series too many times to count. I love all things Joss Whedon. Twilight is my new addiction - songs, books, fanfics...but I have never created my own. I don't ever write my own stories or music. I'm not that creative.

In order to find a time in my life when I imitated something I was a fan of, I have to go all the way back to when I was 10 years old. The Monkees - they were the best to a 10-year-old in 1967. I read everything I could find, I listened to every song - such a simple time. I role-played the Monkees with my friends. We made up episodes and sang our own songs. I have no doubt that had there been digital media and web applications for me to access back then I would have been blogging and creating videos.

Actually, when I think about it - I don't think it's that I'm not creative enough. I just don't have the time. I think that's going to be a goal of mine - I have to create at least one of my own videos or write a fanfic episode - maybe of the Monkees!
