Through the Letterbox (11)

Jul 26, 2009 21:58

I met a very cute guy yesterday. He is also working during the holidays. We were together in one stall for almost 2 hours and decided to play hangman. He didn't know who Marilyn Monroe was. Or Audrey Hepburn. I haven't laughed so much in ages. I think he likes me too. At least I hope he does. There si also another guy who sings constantly. All these crappy songs that really irritate me. He thinks he has the voice of some sexy angel. He really does not.

And yesterday a security guard asked me if I was married, if my Dad was around or if any of my male relatives were. No they weren't. He was happy with that answer.

Anyway this week there aren't all that many books in my lettetbox. Actually there are only two. Work has been hectic and I'm still not used to all the hours. Hence I haven't been able to go to the library. But my sister did and she came home with stuff for me.

Through the Letterbox explores the contents of my mailbox on a weekly basis. Of course I only mention the really cool things, like books! If you would like to participate and have your own “In My Mailbox” post, you can find more information here. (This post was inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie.) Thanks The Story Siren for this!



Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? By Louise Rennison

Oh yes, the hilariosity goes on for one last time. Here it is ... maybe probably ... pants for the memories!
My marvy Luuurve God boyfriend has got the full Humpty Dumpty with me for accidentally twisting with Dave the Laugh.

Which is not actually my fault. I cannot be expected to control my body parts, they pop out unexpectedly and so on.

For instance my lips do ad-hoc puckering up every time Dave the Laugh comes near them, I don't know why.

Ditto jelloid knickers.

Anyway shut up about Dave the Laugh, he has got a GIRLFRIEND.

Not that I care. Or do I?

Oh I don't know, so many boys, so little time ...

[YAY!!!!]




Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult

Charlotte O'Keefe's beautiful, much-longed-for, adored daughter Willow is born with osteogenesis imperfecta - a very severe form of brittle bone disease. If she slips on a crisp packet she could break both her legs, and spend six months in a half body cast. After years of caring for Willow, her family faces financial disaster. Then Charlotte is offered a lifeline. She could sue her obstetrician for wrongful birth - for not having diagnosed Willow's condition early enough in the pregnancy to be able to abort the child. The payout could secure Willow's future. But to get it would mean Charlotte suing her best friend. And standing up in court to declare that she would have prefered that Willow had never been born...

[I know this is going to be a tear jerker, but I do love her books. Nineteen Minutes  has to be one of the most amazing things I read during university.]

And that's it!

What did you all get?

Live Long and Prosper
