Odd Excerpts

I was cleaning out some notebooks today and I came across something odd I had written. Three pages of a mostly blank notebook contained notes from a college business class (margin of safety/breakeven point), sketches of a two story house with a wrap-around veranda (for The Sims?), repetitions of a poem I was memorizing ("Wynken, Blynken, and Nod"), the opening paragraph of a letter to a pen-pal in Florida, a list of the people in my life that had died in the last month and half (6, including my childhood pet), a recipe for Tex-Mex Chicken Starter (great on lettuce or in a tortilla or both), and the oddest scrawl of all: "change me into Zeus' daughter."

What in the world does that mean!?

You know what, skip the novel I have outlined. I'll just write a scenario where all of those random notes are not random. It'll probably take me all 100 pages to come up with the theory. I'll use the enigmatic scrawl for a title and the book will probably involve an alien race, a government conspiracy, a time vortex, a character with Tourettes Syndrome, and a Greek goddess.
