I know where I stand...

I'm reading a lot more now thanks to babysitting.  Which is actually kind of funny now that I think of it.  I should be watching the children but I have my nose in books, all the fucking time.  The TV is out which is the main reason why I'm reading I'm ashamed to say, but it's good because I need to read anyway.

Fight Club-done in 3 days
The Bell Jar-reading for the second time.  Should be done by Saturday.
High Fidelity-bought today.  Will start on Monday when I go back
Valley of the Dolls-once I find it, I'll buy it and read it when I'm done with High Fidelity

I had forgotten how much I loved leisure reading.  All of my thoughts now are in novel form, really descriptive and obscure and always relating to some other experience I had before.  It's weird though because even draining out the water in the Slip 'N Slide, I was explaining it to myself, as if I were a reader that had no idea how difficult it was to drain a fucking Slip 'N Slide.  Maybe I'm just thinking in LiveJournal Mode...if that's even a mode.

But today I realized how much I really missed writing.  I found my journal from 2005-2006 and I'm ridiculous.  But at least I was writing.  I stopped writing in here even and I forgot how much I really loved it.  I didn't have an English class this past semester and I was barely writing any songs so I'm really rusty.  It's just nice to get words out now.

------------------------------------

I need to buy a new journal.  Too much has happened to pick up where I left off and I hate filling myself in because I feel like I'm only writing just to read it later, not really to vent or figure things out.  I have about three unfinished journals because of that very reason.  Too much happens, I crash, I slowly pick myself up, and then I get a new journal and start the process over.  There will be one less name in the new one though I can assure you that.  I won't talk about him as much.  His name was on every page in that journal.  I hated reading it.

So it's time to get a new one.  A new journal for my new life.
