I hope I never figure out who broke your heart.

I'm reading a book where, as a kid, the main character was told stories by his grandfather. He grew to hate those stories and resented his grandpa for telling them. I recently watched a movie about the same thing. The stories, the resenting...it was sad. Because all I could think about was how I (and all my cousins) would kill to be able to remember Grandpa's stories. To have an actual substantial piece of paper with stories from 'Oo-bop-ba-ree-a-bam' would be amazing! I just wanted to yell at these characters to always remember and write them down because you're going to want to tell your kids, and they're going to want to tell their kids.

I was kind of reading last night. If there's a book I've read enough, I can speed read or just skim through it. Read the really good parts or the scenes stuck in my head. So I was doing this last night with Jennifer Echolls' Going Too Far, there was a moment where I really felt for these people, I had tears in my eyes. I couldn't believe I was crying, it felt like I was in that relationship. It was especially crazy considering I was only skimming and wasn't even completely into the story.

I'm thinking of starting some more daily challenges.
