Cover Boy

Tonight my friend had his photo shoot for his album cover. I was there, helping out, but I refused to be in any pictures. I recruited a couple of my friends to be in it instead. I know that I made the right choice.

All of my life, I have shied away from things that bring me close to the spotlight. I think that I would hate being famous more than anything. I always see these celebrity magazines, and their loss of privacy leaves an ache inside of me. Yes, I know that it is doubtful that I would become famous from a couple of pictures, but you never know.

And about my friend: I want him to succeed, but at the same time, I don't. He is one of the sweetest, most compassionate people I have ever met. I am afraid what the industry will do to him. But I will always be there, behind the scenes, to let him know that he has a friend. I only hope that I am not being selfish by kind of hoping that this isn't his path.

Reading

Books of Booky Past: these are books that I have recently (or not so recently) read, and recommend.

the plain truth: jodi picoult
This book provided a wealth of information about the Amish community. It was wonderful.

the time traveler's wife: audrey niffenegger (sp?)
This book is like the movie Serendipity. Wow! the first time around, still pretty great for consequent readings.

Present Booky Books: do I really need to explain what this is?

dragon haven: robin hobb
Yeah, it's fantasy. So is Edward Cullen.
