My Original Lifetime Movie.

               My life is nothing like a Lifetime movie. I don’t have a stalker, I’m not a 17 year old stripper, I’ve never made a pregnancy pact, and I most defiantly am not “A divorced mother approaching her 40^th birthday that takes a vacation to Hawaii and soon finds herself in an unexpected romance with a much younger man.” I bet you could never guess the title of that movie—Flirting With Forty—yup.

                It’s not that I hate my life, but for once I would like to have an adventure. What if I want to find my long lost imaginary friend and marry him? What if I want to lead a double life in a huge house in Canada? What if I want to form a relationship with a male prostitute and later be blackmailed because of it and lose my chances at becoming the Supreme Court judge? Okay, maybe not that last one…or any of the others for that matter.

 All I am asking for is a little adventure or at least the chance to take my average life and make into a movie. With that being said, the title of my Original Lifetime Movie would be—Young and Bored. I’m not entirely sure what the climax of the plot would be, all I know is that the ending scene would show me with a witty smirk on my face reading a self-help book titled- How To Make Friends And Keep Them. Also, during the end credits Sarah McLaughlin would whale “In the Arms of an Angel”.

If Lifetime doesn’t pick up my movie rights, I’ll shoot for HBO. In that case, I’d be able to portray myself as a nudist who uses far too many curse words. The title of that movie would be – Nakie and Don’t Care. Expect the screen play for that second one within the year.
