Having a couch is fun!
Seriously, having a couch makes everything better. I can be comfier while watching TV or reading, and if I want to eat dinner while watching "Friends" it's a lot easier than the armchair. I need to get some fun pillows for the couch though. *Rainman* Definately need pillows to lean on and stuff. D-Definitely need pillows. Maybe when I go home Mom will have some she doesn't want. She always did have a plethora of pillows. Heehee.
Today was nice, I had a lovely breakfast and then watched "Tarzan," which was a lot better than I thought it would be. Then I hunkered down with the Encyclopedia Of Urban Legends and it was very educational. Turns out that almost all the stories in the "Scary Stories" series are based on urban legends! I kept reading urban legend after legend and I recognized a lot of them. It was a fun read though. I had heard of a lot of them but I can't remember who told me them. Funny how stories float around forever and no one knows when they started and who started them or anything. S'very interesting really. It was a big book, so that took a few hours to read. I also watched "The Aristocats" which I hadn't seen in years. That was a really good Disney movie that I'd forgotten about. All the kittens were so cute!
Oh! I finished I Am Legend, and thank you to aryll for recommending it, t'was very good! It was actually the novella, and then another 10 or so short stories, so I was pleasantly surprised by that! I really like this guy's style of writing. All his short stories were different but they were all well written and creepy. I'd definitely get more of his work. So tomorrow I'll be starting on Weaveworld which was recommended to me by Brad. I want to read Imajica but it's still out! Stupid people and their over due books. So Brad recommended this one to me until the other comes in. Both are written by Clive Barker.
Also planned for tomorrow is laundry, and watching "Ordinary People." I watched "Dancer In The Dark" last night and I was practically hysterical. People weren't kidding when they said it was sad. But it was a really wonderful movie, and Bjork was very very good in it. Brad said OP would be even worse, so I'm a little anxious about watching it now. But I'm sure I'll enjoy it nevertheless. I enjoy crying during movies...cathartic or something. Did I spell that right? You get my drift anyway.
Brad is gonna be here in about a day and a half. I am petrified beyond belief. I warned him that I'll most likely be nervous and edgy at first, but I should calm down after about 10 minutes. He kept telling me not to be nervous, but I cannot help it. Because we've practically been dating online and on the phone for like, 2 months now and I'll finally be seeing him on Friday, after not having seen him for 9 months. I am absolutely terrified. I mean, what if I don't like him anymore? What if he changes his mind about me? What if we get bored with each other? What if there's an instant connection? I have so many "what ifs" flying through my head, it's amazing I haven't imploded yet. I know I should try to be calm and not stress about it, but that is just so not possible. I think I might be physically sick at some point.
Oh lordy help me get through this.
