There are a lot of characters that I would like to be for a day or even a month like Cinderella or Nikita (from the movie, not the show) and you know, Laurie from Oklahoma. But the thing about these characters is that I would only like to live part of their lives because some get boring and some have to kill people and I don't want that to happen to me.
I have come to the conclusion that Nancy Drew is the perfect middle; her life stays interesting but she never has to kill people. Plus she has a red convertible. If any of you were Hardy Boys fans, one you missed out, and two Nancy Drew is a girl in her early twenties who lives with her father and has two best friends named Bess and George (both are girls even though one is named George, which always confused me) and a boyfriend named Ned. But the interesting thing about her is that she solves mysteries. All the time. And she is really good. She has a pretty sweet life because she travels all over the world solving these mysteries and can bring all of her friends and she never goes broke. She also wrecks her convertible in every book and always gets a new one. The sad part of her life is that her mother died when she was very young but that's ok because she has a housekeeper that loves her like a mother and always makes her brownies.
The thing I have realized while I was thinking about this blog was that while I love reading about characters that have struggles and go through really hard times and come out the other side empowered and wise, I prefer to read about it than have it happen to me. Also there aren't many characters that have a super cool life where they travel everywhere and have adventures with out having struggles or having to kill people or avoid being killed by other people. Nancy Drew, on the other hand, gets all that and is always dressed like she is going to model for Vogue.
