theorganasolo:What would I be if I weren’t Princess Leia? I would never give a celebrity lap dance or be considered a serious actress or have used the term “nerf herder” as though I understood it, though I didn’t at all, never have met Alec Guinness or been a hologram where I recited earnestly a speech I’ll remember all my life until I get dementia because I had to say it so many times, or shot a gun, or been shot, or not worn underwear because I was in space.Never never never (I’m sobbing as I write this) have been way overexposed. Or have adolescent male fans think about me up to four times a day in a private place, ever have had to lose huge quantities of weight, never have seen my face millions of feet high long past time when that’s a good idea, never have gotten a quarter of a point of the back end of a movie’s gross.Never have had the Force or a twin or been friends with a huge moody howling…not a monkey but…maybe a hairy creature. Never have been asked if I thought I’d been objectified by silently wearing a gold bikini, while seated on a giant laughing cruel slug, while everyone chatted gaily around me? Never have been in an airport and heard someone shout, “Princess!” as though that were my actual name, enabling and requiring me to turn around and politely respond, “Yes?” Never have had my entire planet blown up in front of me (including my mother and entire record collection), while looking at a small blackboard with a circle on it, never have talked to robots or teeny bearlike creatures whom I then feed snacks. Never have been asked, “Who do you think you would’ve turned out to be if you weren’t an intergalactic princess?”I’d be me.You know, Carrie.Just me. -- source link
