Day of Reading
Read 159 pages today! I have no idea what happens in the book...but I only have to read 90 pages before class tomorrow! :)
Most of my day was spent at Barnes and Noble. When I wasn't reading I was looking for a book series that one of the girls from my lit club recommended to me. First I looked in the fiction section. Then I remembered that she had compared it to one of the chapters of my work in progress and to Harry Potter.
So I hit the children's section. No luck.
Young adult. Nada.
The same for mystery and fantasy.
So I rechecked everywhere.
Being stuborn, I employed my final option. I asked one of the employees. I was horrified when they led me to the romance section.
As a rule I avoid everything romance. Not my cup of tea. I'm the girl that snickers at the girls who read romance novels.
But the scariest part is that this girl compared my work to a romance novel. My innocent children's book has been tainted!
Speaking of my book, I wrote 2 paragraphs. Yeah! Very exciting considering I haven't added to it since the spring.
Called my dad again today in an attempt to reduce his craziness. I think it worked.
Hee hee hee. Am illegally downloading music. Shhhhhh! Don't tell anyone authoratative.
It was very beautiful today. But it was tainted, cause I SO know it's going to get cold again. Plus, I was totally overdressed, but when I went to class this morning, I could see my breath.
I've been feeling majorly disconnected from friends. Nobody that I know seems to be in the same place in their life as I am. My friends are either 2 to 5 years ahead of me or 1 to 2 behind. I guess it's not a big deal. I'm just used to the past...when everyone is going through the same thing at the same time. But never fear, I'll deal. Stumbling through the confusion alone. I just have to remember to read the fine print.
...it's not a mixed metaphor if it's 2 separate sentence. It demonstrates the fuzziness of my head. Just smile and nod.
Oh my goodness! I love Modest Mouse!!!!!!!!!!!
