I love it when a book is so good that I can literally read for hours on end, often finishing said book in a day, if possible.

Ender's Game was that way. I sat in a bookstore for hours and read the whole damn thing. I felt sort of guilty afterwards, like I should buy it even though I finished it, mostly because it was...

Both those books are on my to get list. I'll probably just read them in Barnes & Noble. I read Eleanor Rigby, Love and other Demons, and Six all in a bookstore and I sure as hell didn't feel guilty about it. There's too many good books and not enough cha-ching in the world. wink

Killer socks!

My reading habits are so bizarre! I read at least eight books at a time and if i really love a book I parcel out pages so that I don't have to leave that world too fast--unless it's non-fiction. I gobble those.

I had sex today while still wearing my shoes, which I believe is a first for me. I'd done the mostly clothed thing before, but not with my shoes still on.

It was also against the fridge, which I think is another first, but a less notable one, in my opinion.

Just thought I'd share! biggrin
wildswan:
Well actually, fridges have been known to topple on to persons engaged in having sex on them! Yeah, and shoes can just be a bastard to get off and are mostly quite unnecessary to remove---unless, that is, unshod feet are essential to ones erotic experience. tongue

Yeah, and I'm pimping pics of my doggie 'cause Iove him so much. Check him out; he has his own folder of pics!

shoes, fridge, and sex...sounds like a great day! biggrin

I woke up this morning and thought, "I want to get pierced today."

So I did.

I've wanted my rook done ever since I found out what it was, so I just went to my piercer and did it. The decision was mostly impulsive, but I did do some quick math in my head to make sure I'd be able to pay my rent next...

Yep, the top one is the rook.

If getting pierced was a painless procedure, I'd have a lot more of them. A lot more! wink

Last night, as I was sitting on my bed with a summer reading book (I know, summer reading in college, whodathunk?), I heard a knock on the front door.

"Oh," I think to myself, "must be my girlfriend coming back from the gym. She said she didn't have her keys, so I'd better go let her in."

I thump down the stairs and open the...

Yeah, I am, and I love it. It's always cool to hear from someone who knows where the hell Evanston is, as opposed to me just saying it's near Chicago.
wildswan:
Evanston is gorg! My father-in-law headed the Nuclear Engineering Dept. there before he retired. I effing love that campus! Plus you get the bonus of being right on that ocean of a lake!... *sigh*

I suppose I should make use of this thing, so here it is.

After working two hellish weeks of canvassing for an environmental organization (READ: going door-to-door and selling my soul by asking people for money) and spending another three weeks unemployed, I found a job that shouldn't suck too badly. I will be a "barista" (READ: coffee wench) at the cafe of a very...

Roller derby, eh? As a spectator or combatant? Either way, that's awesome; it's a dying artform (no thanks to the movie Rollerball)

You should enjoy the coffee wench stuff. But, do try to put some decent music on for the guy like me. ( If I hear "I would walk five hundred miles"..one more time....)

pipersparrow:
Just a spectator at roller derby for now, unfortunately, because I've got a year to go before I meet the minimum age requirement. I love it though, and I can't wait to try out.

I wish I had control over the music at the cafe, but I doubt I will. It'll probably be the same elevator music that they play in the whole bookstore. Bah.
