The Beginning

      The nickname Goddess came from a drunken rant by the same guy who introduced me as not a donator to charity even though that's my name. He was disappointed in women, drank too many Jack and cokes, and I was the only female at his pity party. We were at this imaginative place called Mr. Pizza, which was one of three places you could eat late in Savannah and it was close to our dorms. He was saying that all women were so lame and then he looks at me and says, "Except you. You're like a goddess." Best compliment ever?! And then that started a whole thing of having worshipers and who was the best and well it still gets mentioned in a lot of catch up text messages.
     Charity is my name and Goddess is my nickname and charity is a wonderful attribute to preside over. Goddesses did not always live up to their attributes, so I don't necessarily have to talk about love, but I am going to discuss my love for books and other amazing things.
     But first here is an example of Goddesses not being very nice. There was a competition of who was prettier between Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena, and they turned to a man named Paris to judge the competition because he was said to be an excellent appraiser of beauty. All the goddesses offered him different things if he chose her. Hera promised to make him king of Europe and Asia, Athena promised that the Trojans would win against the Greeks, and Aphrodite promised that the prettiest woman in the world would be his. He picked Aphrodite's bribe and that lead to the Trojan War.

      The goddesses started by fighting with each other and ended with fighting, when they really should have just said, "Screw it. We are GODDESSES! We do not need some mere mortal telling us who is hotter. We are all beautiful." That really would have been the better moral, but those Greeks were all drooling for the gossip of their gods personal lives and tragedies.
     But I am going to be a goddess in a different since than a Greek and Roman goddesses. I am going to give the attribute of book love. I have a wild, untamed passion for reading. Mostly fiction, art history, psychology, and I'll dip into other genres, but that is the meat of it. I've racked my brain to figure out how to turn this passion into a career without the writing part, but now I have come to terms with writing. I want to remember the books I read, I want to take them to a whole new level, and well, nothing is worth anything unless it is shared.
