Week 26

I get super geeky about a lot of things.

First of all...music...duh.
I love music. I absolutely relish the chance to get lost in someone else's ideas. Music is a universal language that everyone can comprehend. Music is a form of math because you have to count and divide and syncopate. Music is a science because sound waves have definitive effects on the human brain. Music is an art because it is so expressive of a composer's thoughts and emotions. Music is great.

Secondly, I'm a huge nerd when it comes to random facts. They don't actually have any use in life, but I know random stuff.

Thirdly, I love reading. Similar to music, a book can take you into the writer's mind. A well written story can tell you a lot about what the author is going through. If I could invent one thing, it would be a machine that transports the user into the universe of a book of their choice.
Imagine being put into the Wizarding world of Harry Potter. Being sorted into a house and learning magic and potions. Competing in the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Learning how to play Quidditch.
Imagine flying along with Maximum Ride. Feeling the wind flowing through your feathers. Flying with your favorite people in the world and feeling free.
Imagine fighting along side Percy Jackson. Joining Camp Half-Blood. Being claimed by a godly parent. Imagine learning how to fly a pegasus.

Books are windows into other possibilities.
