My Life Most Decidedly Should Be a Movie - Cas Young

There are lots of times when I wish I was in a movie or a TV show, but then I watch Game of Thrones and quickly change my mind. Being a fictional character must be hard. There's always so much action and so many secrets and so many responsibilities, I don't know if I'd make it a day in King's Landing... or anywhere else for that matter. Hogwarts? Forget it. As much as I like magic, fighting in the battle of Hogwarts would make me pee my pants. So where exactly do I fit in in the fictional world?

The Hundred Acre Wood.

I've already expressed my love for A. A. Milne, he is my favourite author because he created such a wonderful little world. Every character is so quaint and content to take life as it comes. They solve problems, maybe a little more eccentrically than usual, but they do it together and I think that so cute and precious.

This is my way of saying I want to be Winnie the Pooh. I think he is my soul. And I am his. He will do anything for food, he is always hungry, and favors sweet foods over others. He loves all his friends in the hundred acre woods so genuinely, he looks past all their perceived faults and sees the value in them as (people? animals?).

He also has minimal responsibility. I really want minimal responsibility...

And he tries really hard to make his friends' lives better. He moved Eeyore's house when it was winter to the not-windy side of the forest, even though he was just fine where he was just so his friend could be a little warmer. And his plan backfired a little, and the house took a while to reconstruct, but his intentions were good, and all was forgiven.

He is so easily pleased and easily entertained, I can't help but already think we're the same person. Throwing sticks into the river and watching them float to the other side? What a simple pleasure, and doing it with a friend like piglet must have made it all the more fun.
