Books keep me Sane O_0

“Just because it is 1in the morning, that shouldn’t mean that TV networks must be incapable of showing different or at least decent movies during this time.” -Me

I do not have classes on Friday. So I like to stay up late. But who am I kidding I sleep late on school nights too. But Thursday nights I can relax without worrying about home work that’s due or something. Well I like staying up and watching TV. Once in awhile they show a good movie. The channels in particular is tbs and USA. Now I can’t remember how many times or when it first started but they have been showing the same exact movie like every night it seems. Or at least every Friday morning. Now I wouldn’t be bothered by it if it was a movie I at least liked. The movie in question is…. Screwed.

I am annoyed by this movie, sorry to the people who actually like this movie. But enough is enough. Why must they keep showing this movie? There is like a million other movies they could show. I mean I know there are people who can’t sleep, or who are like me and are just accustomed to sleeping late. But I mean come on. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SHOW A DIFFERENT MOVIE! At least for my sanity.

But this is where I turn off the TV and read a good book. I have so many books I want to buy at the moment. I am currently reading three books at the same time because I couldn’t decided which one to read first. I know I’m terrible. So far its going ok I am keeping up with them. My book wishlist just keeps growing and growing. sigh. There are way too many books and I read way too slow. >_<

I just wanted to share this with you Mija and Kat. Because I know you both can appreciate and understand where I am coming from. Plus you can justify that this isn’t just crazy talk.

I’m not crazy. Right?

BOOKS GALORE!

“Like, I will probably never get struck by lightning, or win a Nobel Prize, or become the dictator of a small nation in the Pacific Islands, or contract terminal ear cancer, or spontaneously combust. But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to each of us.” – Paper Towns, John Green

I just purchased Paper Towns. I wanted sad Margo cover, but Borders didn’t have it. And I really wanted to buy it so I had no choice but to take happy Margo. Which there is absolutely nothing wrong with Happy Margo cover, I just like sad Margo…more. I can always buy sad Margo when it comes out on paper back. Which I really wish they brought books on paper back first. But I know they make more money in hard back. Plus the book will last much longer. But I hate it when it has a dust jacket. I wanted the cover to be on the book itself. I am extremely picky when it comes to books. I want to read 13 Little Blue Envelopes but I had to pick one. Sigh. I know I should have just waited on Paper Towns, so I could have bought the cover I wanted but what I can I say I am impatient along with indecisive. sigh. Along with Paper Towns I got Undine in the mail the day before. I love getting things in the mail. lol Because I bought it used it is from like a library or something so its hard back but with the protective paper they put on library books. I wish I could put that on my Paper Towns book. Anyway focus Kim. So yeah I have three books I want to read, but I am such a slow reader. I like to take my time and soak it all in. Because books are awesome! I still have to finish Katherines but I’m actually considering reading all three at the same time. lol Dumb idea? >_<

I have History home work to do. I should go to sleep its 4 in the morning. I’m visiting my sister at the moment. I had to put her cat in the bathroom he is annoying. lol But cute too. Ok well good night.

I was feeling a little glum but PAPER TOWNS TOTALLY CHANGED THAT!

“DFTBA! -Don’t forget to be awesome!” – John and Hank Green

PAPER TOWNS!

“I guess I’m not as good at masking my pain as you are.”-words from Kim

I am in pain. (I was in pain. I’m better now.)

Basically this whole paragraph is old news. I just didn’t post this right away. >_<
I woke up Sunday morning with a crick in my neck.My neck hurts so much. Then again not as bad as it did the night before. It was horrible, I laid down on my back while using a neck pillow (which didn’t help and I ripped it)>_< Sad really. I couldn’t turn over after that, I finally got back to my side. I probably looked ridiculous. So anyway its getting better. I just need another day or so, to be completely back to normal. This is practically how my neck and back is every time I am on the computer. More than a bad habit right? I read that cricks are caused by muscle spasms, or chill or cool air hitting the area that has the crick, and poor sleeping posture. I never thought I had poor sleeping posture. I sleep normal I thought. lol Head on pillow, sometimes on my side or back. How could that be poor?


I can’t decide which cover to buy. But I really want it. I doubt I can get it right away (and I doubt I can get both covers), because I just bought AAoK, and Undine. Here’s hoping *crosses fingers* I love John Green’s style of writing. At first I wasn’t sure if I would but I love it. I found another favorite author and that’s surprising. I usually don’t make an author a fav. until I finish their book. He is hilarious. You should read his books too! I hope I can buy it. If not I will complete the note in cover step. watch youtube link to understand that.

Wanted-Books!

““All else being equal, past officeholders ought to have an advantage, but all things are rarely equal.” – John Green

Ok.

I am pissed off at Hastings.

Why, you ask? Ok. Well I love books. I love reading books. (That’s a given) Well I looked up books on the Borders website because I was going to buy a book online but I am so indecisive when it comes to things like this. So my wishlist grew within minutes of browsing the lists of books. Authors from Robin McKinley to Maryrose Wood. I found so many books I really want to read. Now the one I went to Hastings in search of was Undine by Penni Russon. I really wanted this book.I went to Hastings to find said book.

And all I got was NOT CURRENTLY IN STOCK. Pffft! I hate it. Why is it that when I know the title and the author of the book I want and I’m not just browsing they never have the book I want. Or they say they have the book but its not where it says it should be. Now I am aware that it must be difficult to keep books where they are supposed to be, especially when customers move things around. (Déjà vu) Anyway so I looked and looked for a book to buy. And discovered that John Green’s books were on display. It is John and Hank Green’s Youtube channel aka The Vlogbrother’s channel. So I have recently purchased, “An Abundance of Katherines.” By John Green. Thanks to the FiveAwesomeGirls who have gave John Green’s books wonderful reviews; which is what made me buy this book. I do wish I could have this book with this cover. But I have a different cover. Because I have bought this I have subscribed to his youtube videos which I wonder why I never did that to begin with. Well anyway so yeah I haven’t started reading yet but I am looking forward to it. But….I came home and bought Undine online anyway. lol Which should arrive October 23rd if all goes well. o^_^o
