well i'm sitting here stewing in my parents house in Royal city. i'm not stewing because i'm at my parents house, because I could leave if I wanted to. No, i'm stewing because i'm dumb.
Why am I dumb, you ask? (or some of you might have just nodded your heads silently, to which I reply "you suck") well... in 2002 my parents took me to Moscow idaho to a rennaisance fair. While we were wandering around the colorful booths and knick knacks of the ren fair a guy a little younger than me, bedecked in rennaisance attire, walked up to me and started pitching a book that he was trying to get into circulation that he started writing when he was fifteen. His family owned a publishing company, and they sorta 'home published' his book, so now he's wandering aorund trying to spread the word on his book. He said it had Magic, dragons, elves, and pure evil. Sounded interesting, although I was dubious on how good this book would be. So I handed him twelve bucks, he took a white hardback-sized paperback out of his backpack, signed it, handed it to me, thanked me, and headed off.
Might sound unremarkable to you, I suppose. but consider this. The name of the Author was Christopher Paulini. The book? a preliminary copy of 'Eragon'. His book is now a best seller, and they're about ot make a freakin' MOVIE about his book.
Here's where the stupid part comes in. I can't find the damn book anywhere. i know its here in my parents house, but for the life of me I cannot find it. After the movie comes out that book is gonna be worth a fortune. >_
