ASK YOURSELF in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple "I must," then build your life in accordance with this necessity..." - Rainer Maria Rilke
well, okay........
stayed after school today. i was fed up not understanding the math, so i stayed after for an hour and got everything sorted out. i know you guys will think i'm weird for it, but the test is tomorrow, and all this graphing in slope and standard.... it's so confusing. so most of the q's were cleared up, and i got all my late work passed in. a check minus is better than a zero, after all.
gaia is working on my laptop right now, which is kind of nice. i like doing everything on my laptop, and not the home one. it's slower and the chair is worse than my stiff computer one in my room. my bed is so squishy...... i love it. whee
what else? i never have a long journal entry unless i have something to complain about....
oh. well, we have to write an essay or something in la, but it's supposed to be a weird and somehow controvercial (the way you spell it?) way. so we need a biography on sone famous person that has made an impact on the world (positive. so no hitler (damn him) or something.) whatevah. i don't admire a lot of people. i guess i've never though about it. but if i had to admire anyone, it'd be someone with an unusual work path. artists, authors. that's it. of course stephenie has yet to have made a biography about her, so i settled with stephen king. he had one in the biography place in the library.
and of course, the library trip was nice during ramp. i liked that librarian..... not the short one...... but she had light hair, not brown.... i don't know her name (duh. big change) but at least she knew what she was talking about. i like librarians that know there way around. so i get to the desk, with nothing, so she asks me if i found everything i needed. 'no.' obviously. so i tell her my personal genres, (blood, vampires, gore, but a hint of romance and a happy ending 4laugh ) so she showed me the atwater-rhodes section. she had demon in my view and shattered mirror, amoung others like hawksong. i've read them. of course. i even own shattered mirror. amelia was an inspiration to me (got her first book published at fourteen. love her books, randi, you should read. yet another on your waiting list.......).
so then we steered to stephen king, and of course, they only owned one. one. i own four (i have yet to read them, though). i've read carrie and firestarter, too, so i thought i'd do my report on him. they were okay.
but then jesse came over, asking for a kind of mystery book that you only know what's going to happen at the very end. so while the librarian's trying to figure it out, i just start browsing through my own books under my belt, especially the authors in my library....... 'hey. jesse, have you ever read a duncan?' she said no, so taking my hunch, the librarian shows her to a pretty good collection of lois duncan books. (case ya didn't know, she's the one that did i know what you did last summer. i enjoyed it, and have completed a lot of others.) so after jesse leaves, the librarian thanks me and then reviews my fiction genre in her head and comes up with tenderness, since i had finished any kind of vampire book they had in there.
but i like that topsham public library better. huge walls of books and books. and of course they have adult books as well, which i am more than capable of reading. cujo creeped me out in sixth grade, though....... yeah. and cindy's there. courtney's mom. i knew her three or four years before i even met courtney. then there was another year until we got to the middle school and became friends. now that i think abou t it, she was a nice friend.... she didn't bother trying to make me read the 'proper' books all the other second graders were reading. no, hp was for me. then straight after that was my intro to fantasy....... vampires quickly followed..... shan. lowry. hunter. rowling. werlin. cleary. colfer. wooding. atwater-rhodes. nimmo. and of course, then there was a woman by the name of meyer............
ahh, how i loved the dark fantasies as a child........
i wonder if they found me creepy? eek the other librarians and the elementary kids?
i guess i couldn't really blame them...... and this was before all the dark music! now that i have that....... i think most of me is complete. yay for completeness!
