I saw the Princess Diaries tonight on TV. It's such a nice movie. I sort of identify with it on a special level, considering I found out that I'm a princess a year after I saw it for the first time in theaters. Anne Hathaway is even the actress I look the most like. I admit that I was a little surprised when I found out, but at least I knew that I didn't have the kind of responsibilities that Princess Mia has in the film. I guess that's the perk of being a princess of a fallen dynasty: you get the title, but you don't do anything with it. Although having the title does sometimes make me think I should be a better role model and live up to the expectations and legacy of my ancestors. Of course, if I was the princess I was meant to be, I would probably live in a harem like this one and I'd definitely have at least 5 kids by now. It's a trade-off, but my heritage does make me want to learn as much as I can about my family's past. It's one of the biggest motivators I've ever had.

Yeah, I'm from the same dynasty as the one in the book. What's weird is that she was born exactly 100 years before I was (1884), and she kept a journal which is now read by the world. Spooky, isn't it?
