"Sell you beautiful...."
I like reading. I like the nerdy, I'm-so-intelligent feeling that I can earn when I am reading a superb book. I like knowing when I am reading a good book. I like knowing that this book will effect my way in a positive way. I like knowing that this positive effect will make me a happier person. When I open pages up and realize that I can relate to characters nothing like me, I am happy.
Books are great.
Everyone should read them.
So, today I didn't go to school because our car battery died and we had no other sufficient way of getting to school. Not to mention that I have some serious flem in my throat and am finding it difficult to breath.
I slept on and off until 1:30, when I pulled myself out of bed and decided to get some reading done for English. I finished up a good portion of Hi Fidelity, and answered all the lovely study questions that went a long with it. I now only have about fifty pages left that will be no real problem for me to get done. While I was reading Hi Fidelity I realized that I can completely see myself as Rob, the main character. True, I'd be the female version of him, and maybe a bit more sensitive, but none the less just like him. I never thought I would read a book where the main character had a similar obsession with music as me. Actually, he reminds me a bit of David as well. I can't wait to see the movie next week in class.
After finishing a good portion of Hi Fidelity, I moved on to catching up in Trainspotting. Talk about a truely inspiring book. I mean, not to go out and shoot up, but to stay in and never do drugs, ever. The main character Mark is so messed up and so confusing. The book is extremely well written, and you can find hidden meanings in just about every word written. I did, however, make the mistake of reading a very dark chapter of the book while trying to eat a bit of dinner at the same time. Big mistake. I think I almost threw up. It's kind of funny that I think that's good though, it means that I am into the book and it is effecting me. I'm excited to see where the end will lead to.
I am listening to RxBandits and they are really quite good. I enjoy their subtle ska sound a lot.
Yesterday Natalya and I purchased her Bright Eyes ticket, that is going to be a fabulous event. Thank you Martin Luther King Jr.
Currently I am more excited to go see Dope and Mushroomhead with Angela(finally kiddo!), Vince, penis Sam, and Gregory. We're going to have a fantastic time, and I think it's going to be a great experience.
I wrote my history paper last evening and because I was absent from school today I did not get to turn it in. The fools in that class probably think I did so on purpose. Rather, I did finish the paper and I bet that as usual, it will be the best in the class.
Or at least, I hope so.
I am such a suck up.
Kiss Kiss.
