So this weekend I finally had some time to sit down to try and devote to reading something other then a textbook and I think I have a problem. Julian lent me his copy of House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, and I decided that I should read that first, since it does belong to someone else. I do believe, as Renny would say, that I have buggered(?) myself.
I can't put this thing down.
If it hadn't been recommended to me I probably never would have even picked it up save for to look at the cover. I don't generally like horror novels, or horror anything for that matter. The first line of the book even states "This is not for you", and it's right. It really isn't for me. It starts out with this guy talking about the nightmares that have plagued him since he came into possesion of the manuscript that is the very foundation of this book, of the bizzare death of the man who had it before him and such. The whole thing is vulgar and convoluted , printed in colored text with strikeouts. There's pages with only ONE word printed on the entire page, stuff printed in colored "plates" in the middle of pages that's written backwards and upside down. Just trying to read it is giving me a headache but... I can't put it down.
I seriously can't put it down.
Can't even sleep with the lights out anymore...
My poor copy of Brisingr, the newest release of Christopher Paolini is sitting abandoned on my desk, still in it's release date packaging from Amazon.com. I had been so excited before I started reading House that it was finally coming out and now I can't even be bothered to take it out of the box to look at it.
Anyone know where I can get a nightlight?
[[OOC: Seriously Jo, you've screwed me on this one! >.< Even the guys at work have to slap me and steal the book to get me to do my midnight Wawa run for food now.]]

How can people get through life being so rude and inconsiderate?
I took my bike into town for some things today, and decided to stop at the pizza place for lunch. The place was packed, and it's so nice outside I got it to go. While I was sitting there waiting this couple comes in, grumbles about having to wait, and then nearly cause a scene when they get seated. What was the problem?
Their table was wet.
There had been a mother with two small children and a baby in a high chair at that table before them. I'd just watched them leave and needless to say they had made a bit of a mess. The busboy had literally just cleaned the table off for them. Certainly not something to throw a fit about. And these people had acted like they'd been told to eat off someones filthy plates.
I'll never understand people

useless.
I've always known it, but I suppose I finally have the proof for what I've always suspected about myself. It's the real reason that father left. Why Parker talked mum into sending me away. And now why James shoved me aside as well.
I'm just not good enough.
Renny, I won't need to borrow that dress from you anymore. I won't be wasting your time with those dance lessons anymore either. I'm sorry I'm such a bother to everyone.
