the little prince

i can't tell you how excited i am to finally know how to upload pictures on my blog. now i promise you that even though i now know how to add photos, i won't cut out my verbal-frenzy-whipping-topics of discussion! but i may go a little crazy at first, cause it's so damn fun!!!

now the reason i decided to have my first picture be one of "the little prince", or for all you francophones (and for those of you who simply read the book in french) "le petit prince", he's the most wonderful character in literature today!! written by antoine de-saint-exupéry as what started out as a childrens novel, "the little prince" evolved into one of the most lovely stories ever told. yours truly read it in grade 12 french class, and fell in love with the story on the spot.

it tells the tale of a little prince who lives on a small little planet, all by himself somewhere out there in the galaxy. it chronicles his search for a friend in a universe that seems too vast. along the way he meets many a different character all the while trying to avoid the baobabs (the bad guys).

the great thing about it, is that while originally written for children, it evolved into a HUGE cult classic novel adored by the likes of many. melanie used to come home from raves and get all cuddled up on the coach (still whacked) and smoke cigarettes and read the little prince!!! too much fun! we even had a theory that the little prince was a raver; why just look at his spiky hair and wide pants!!

from a certain angle, he kinda looks like me! don't you think?

anyways, the wee book is available on the internet if you google "the little prince" it comes right up. so you have no excuse not to read it. i urge you all to indulge, and enjoy the magic that is...the little prince!
