Happy Birthday, Jesus. Sorry your party is so lame.




Hello all.

Felt like updating....well, it's more like I don't want to get up and get ready for bed, but whateverr. It's all the same. :)

So new stuff:

Bought new books. Mostly classics. I'll list them, maybe yous guys have read some (probably) and can tell me your opinions.

As I Lay Dying
Teh Catcher in the Rye
Teh Illuminator
Teh Metamorphasis
A Farewell to Arms
Jane Eyre

I also have and need to read:
Frankenstein
The Inferno
Murder in the Cathedral
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy [interesting story]
The Jungle
Beowolf
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

...Listing all those, I probably shouldn't have bought all those books. I've got enough to read as it is.

The interesting story being the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy (put in upper cases mentally, please) is that I found the book on a midnight tour of my campus in a ziplock bag and a note reading, "I'M NOT LOST! PLEASE READ ME! DETAILS INSIDE!"

Inside, it gives you the address of an organization's website that distributes books. People find the books, read it, log the location they found it in onto the website, and then "drop" it somewhere else. I think the farthest this book has been in California. I'll record the address if you're interested. I'm guessing it was a professor at my university..or something, IDK. But the night I found it and logged into the website, I found a comment from a man who had just posted the he dropped it off outside the Chemistry building of my uni. So that was exciting.

Here it is:
bookcrossing.com
and the BookCrossingID or BCID for the book is: 103-5972904.

I should really get on that. I'll make it a priority. I may be going to Missouri to visit family and that would be the perfect opportunity.

Anyway, hope you guys have a wonderful holiday! And pray for some snow for deprived Texan children pleaseeee! :)

Don't be scared,


Don't be scared,
The spiders are only
the size of a small elephaaant*fade out*

-Harry and the Potters.

That relates. Don't worry.

I had my first real nightmare in a while. (See.)
I took a 3 hour nap today at 5 because I had stayed up till 4 last night to finish an English paper.
Anyway, it was a really weird dream, man. The scary part: I was walking through either a small town or large college campus, thinking it's Halloween. I walk in between this brick building and row of leaf-less bushes. But as I'm walking out of there and turning the corner, I do a double take and see what I think is a poster with a picture of a large spider on something like a telephone pole in between that building and row of bushes. So I turn back and examine it more closely and suddenly I realize that it's a real tarantula. But I'm not frightened. I turn back around to continue on my way and come face-to-face with another large spider web with a large spider on it. Suddenly, there are webs all around me teeming with spiders. One in particular was a large white spider. I tried to go through the bushes but saw millions of tiny spiders appearing all over them. I was so scared. I screamed. I don't know if I did in real life. I was saved I think.

Something else that was kind of funny is that by the end of my nap, I was hovering between consciousness and dreaming as my little sisters were being really REALLY loud and annoying. And in the dream, I got a telephone call. The voice that speaks is male and in the dream, it was familiar, but idk who that would be now.

Anyway, he says something like, "Hi. I'm just gunna put this out there. I think you should do a medical degree-" and he cuts off. I'm waiting for the rest and suddenly get patient and say "Hello?" The thing is that I say it out loud. And that was when I decided to WAKE UP! WAKE UP!

I think it's a cool dream.

Thing is I'm not usually scared of spiders. Well, half the time. When I see one, I'm initially alarmed a little but if it isn't moving my curiosity overpowers that and I can look at it. But as soon as it so much as twitches, I'm outta there.

:) Anyone have any phobias?
