Weekend, FINALLY!
Wow. I have almost 250 friends on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/garseewrites
Of course, I do know they're not really my "friends" lol (I don't live in my parents' basement, remember?). But I've met some amazing people on MySpace--authors, reviewers, musicians, teachers, librarians, and just regular people, plus a few family members from out of town whom I haven't seen in years. It's fun! Thankfully, I'm not as addicted as I was--meaning I'm not till dawn every night farting with the graphics and stealing friends.
I worked last night, and of course TBFP did it to me again: I wanted to scream, Stop with the bowels, already! My God, don't you realize how annoying you are? That you're making me so crazy, I'm actually blogging about you? But now I'm off to Borders both days this weekend (big surpise) to hopefully plow through to the end of Shawna's story.
Which reminds me: How many of you cheat and read the ENDINGS of books before you read the entire book? I'm amazed at the number of people who do this. WHY-Y-Y? Would you fast forward a movie and watch the end, then rewind and start over at the beginning? We got into this discussion on Kosher Christmas; the artist I told you about had sneakily turned to the end while we were at the table. He said he always reads the the endings of books first. I flipped out and commanded him not to read the end, which of course cracked him up.
"But I always read the end first!" he insisted.
"I don't care!" I screeched. "You CANNOT read the end of the book right in front of author, dude!"
Seriously, it freaked me out--and finally, his wife slapped him into submission. I never did "get" that whole "reading the end first" bit. I mean, I'll flip through to the end if the book really sucks and yet I'm curious to know how it ends. But if I intend to read the whole book? No way.
