Recap
I bought The Beautiful and the Damned and Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Island by Aldous Huxley. Best money I’ve spent in a while. Oh! And my new laptop came in. It’s so perfect for me.

What did I do Today?
I played Pokemon for like twelve hours…I beat the Elite Four and leveled my Alakazam up to 99. Yep…my life is one big bowl of excitement.

Going over to one of my best friend’s houses to watch movies! So. Excited. Here’s the preliminary list of what we’re watching:
Away We Go
Repo! The Genetic Opera
Never Let Me Go (hopefully, we’re checking Redbox)
500 Days of Summer
And whatever else we can find.
Yaaaaaay!

Me: Ugh, why are there so many people on the road?
Morgan: Sometimes I wish that I had a helicopter so I could just fly over all of this traffic.
Me: Sometimes I wish that I had an atomic bomb so that I could just...ya know...boom...
Morgan: ...I worry about you.

Happiness
Would it be in bad taste to name my future child Ophelia?…maybe. Oh well. In the meantime, I have 19th Century Russian Literature to keep me company! The Brothers Karamazov is really good so far. My friends and I are going on a trip tomorrow so I’ll have plenty of time to read. This is a much needed break from school.

So, for Christmas, I want hard-cover copies of all of my favorite books. Here’s a list:
The Fountainhead
Catcher in the Rye
The Great Gatsby
Atlas Shrugged
Fahrenheit 451
Fight Club
Brave New World
On a side note: The remake of The Great Gatsby better be perfect. If it isn’t, there will be hell paid in the form of blood and dead directors. I kinda wish that Fitzgerald could...

Uncertainty
I’m not sure if I should re-read The Fountainhead or start The Brothers Karamazov. The Fountainhead I already know and love, but it would be nice to start something new and compelling — I know Dostoevsky is compelling only to a select few. I think I’ll end up reading both…My nerdiness is showing. In the meantime, I still have Never Let Me Go to finish reading.

Catch Me I'm Falling
I think I’m losing my mind. Midterms. College. Musical. Work. Everything’s piling up and driving me insane. It doesn’t help that my parents are not supportive at all or that I have no idea what I want to do with my life. On the flipside, I’m hoping that something good is going to happen. My friend delivered some news which could either leave me devistated or esctatic.

Sobbing
I have to get glasses because I can no longer see clearly. I tried doing homework and all the words in my textbook — which has like 18 point font — blurred together. My mother is scheduling an appointment for me…how do I read books now?
