I never posted while in Dove Creek about my thoughts on The Count of Monte Cristo.
That book was so beautiful, you have no idea.

There are a lot of books that really make you think. The Count of Monte Cristo is one. Edmond, the main character, goes through so many emotions and so many horrible things, that you can't help but feel for him. The woman he loves marries another- not for love but for money, for she is poor. She bears Edmond's enemy a son. For this, he believes that he can never forgive her.

How can you blame him?

While he was locked away in some dungeon on a deserted island, his accusers laid in the lap of luxury. Even though they were false accusations, he still spent thirteen years rotting away.

In then end, he finds he must forgive them for revenge is never sweet.

I want to squeeze the light out of the sun.

at least a little.
get some more in this room.

Maybe some heat too.

Um...started up Freakonomics. It is pretty decent.
Finished Case Histories. It is really fsked up.
Continued Hitler's Niece. It is written to give Hitler an almost...nice image. At least toward his niece.
Started Howl's Moving Castle. Stayed up reading that. Until like...eleven.
Picked up Catch-22 for the outside reading. I heard it was awesome from multiple sources so I will believe them...and pick up the movie (made in 1970) because that is part of the project...

Books keep me busy.

Michelle Flynn from across the street called. I'm babysiting Feb. 3 from 4:45 to 11 at ten dollars an hour for three little boys.
they are sooo cute. omg. If I wasn't against having children I would want one.

But kids are annoying. And I'm farrrrrr too young to even THINK about any.


My hair is almost down to my chin! :D

With all the stress lately I thought it would all fall out!

Um...nothing else new...besides me FREEZING. Outside today was warmer than my room is now! sheeesh!

Using a lot of dots lately...

I bet this looks like I'm eleven or something.

Great thing about books:
they take your mind off everything.

I really love reading.
