reading

Thanks to some determined hours and that unquenching need for perspective I have finally been able to knock some books off my "to-read" list! Life of Pi was wrapped up back in may but since then homework has sucked the life and spare time from me. Once in a while I'd pick up The Book Thief and try making headway but my time was quickly ate up. Within the past couple days I have been able to just soak myself in words. The Book Thief? Finished, loved it- every last depressing German bombing of a word. One of my favorites, The Great Gatsby, also re-read. Next is 1984 by George Orwell. Also a crisp copy of Lord of the Flies is waiting for me as well. I've never read either 1984 or lord of the flies and I'm looking forward to them both. I've stashed a few copies of some more of my favorites to re-read like Ender's Game and the Catcher in the Rye. Something about classics makes me want to grab a cup of coffee (no matter how hot it is outside) and just read for hours.

Great Gatsby

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "Just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had"

what's up doc

Soo busy. Life has been just do busy- but good. Another best friend got married, car season is here and my summer classes are in full swing.

Whom have I

Relevant magazine's the drop introduced me to two new groups I have had on repeat the past week.
Right now listening to Ascend the Hill.
"Whom have I in heaven but you God? There is none on this earth that I desire besides you Lord! My flesh and my heart may fail, but you are my strength and my portion forever" praising my way through the day!

waiting for the sox to turn their game around (crossing my fingers) and putting off the cleaning I need to do.

all I can say is at least it's not monday right?

even though yesterday completely sucked (on a number of levels) I am so glad today didn't go the way it started out... ya know when people say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"? well in that case I am not a fan of being flattered. when someone (especially someone that calls you their friend) takes everything that makes you unique and tries to practically be you- it doesn't exactly delight me...
and when someone who is addicted to attention cannot lay off you for a minute- that gets old too. I don't want to be around people that only care about building themselves up and stepping on everyone else to do it.
when this is the type of bs that starts your day off you can only go up...
I don't like to use this to whine or vent, but today that's just the way it's going to be.
wednesday I really hope you pull through for me...
