Merry Christmas everyone!

1. Take five (random!) books off your bookshelf.
2. Book #1 -- first sentence
3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty
4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred
5. Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book
7. Make the five sentences into a paragraph

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come to pass, leaving memories that become legend. Comrade Ogilvy, who had never existed in the present, now existed in the past, and when once the act of forgery was forgotten, he would exist just as authentically, and upon the same evidence, as Charlemagne or Julius Caesar. And you know he was jolted rigid. This oath was no longer a vain menace; for the fastest sailer in the Medeterranean would have been unable to overtake the little tartane, that with every stitch of canvas set was flying before the wind to Leghorn. It was from there that we emerged, to see - once more - the stars.

Not too bad! Although it's disgustingly easy to pick out which books I used, if you've read them.

Wow, last night really hit the spot. Not that it was anything grand or extravangant, it was actually as low-key as things can get, but it was needed more than words can convey. Have you ever reached the point in a relationship (be it romantic or friendly) where it just doesn't seem like you're dating/friends anymore? And then something comes along and makes everything good again and it's the best feeling ever? Yah, I like it when that happens.

On Thursday I went to Bayshore and spent approximately $180 in about an hour or so. Do you know how good it felt?.          This good. Anyways. I bought a pink tank top with lace and it's really cool fabric and yay, and then I bought some new shoes. Yep, something other than skater shoes *gasp*. Then I bought myself a pair of expensive jeans, because I've spent 3 years of my life in mediocre Bluenotes jeans. I bought a pair of Mavi's that fit like heaven having sex with chocolate or something, and yay =) It made me feel REALLY GOOD.

So is anything going on tonight? Not that I need anything to do, but yah, if nothing comes up I think I'll end up seeing a movie with my Mum, which isn't a bad thing at all. I like going to see movies with my Mum, but I've done it too many times. Know what I mean? Speaking of parents, my Father started reading again. He's reading the Da Vinci Code, which is a fairly mediocre book in my opinion, but it's a start. I told him I'd lend him the Count of Monte Cristo when I wish finished with it, or Animal Farm or something. Speaking of books, this is my reading list:

• Brave New World
• 1984
• The Cather in the Rye (I have like 5 pages left to go in that book)
• Thus Spoke Zarathustra
• The Odyssey (sp?)
• Knide of Dreams (I will PEE myself when this is released)
• Animal Farm (read it already: check)
• The Count of Monte Cristo (650 pages in)
• Of Mice and Men
• A Handmaid's Tale
• Secret Life of Bees
• The Divine Comedy: Dante's Inferno
• Catch-22
• A Midsummer Night's Dream (check)
• Robinson Crusoe
• Grapes of Wrath
• Jonathan Strange& Mr. Norrell
• In the Place of Last Things
• Swallows and Amazons
• Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (not out yet, but I will also PEE myself when it comes out)

Any suggestions? I'm always on the hunt for a good book.

I played my oboe today for 3.5 hours straight. It was weird, I started playing when it was 1:30, and looked up again from it when it was like 5. Then a screw fell out of my oboe and a piece fell off and my heart stopped, my world crashed for about 20 minutes while I searched for the screw (which is the size of half of a housefly) and I actually found it again 0_____________0. How fucking lucky is that? Anyways, AND MY WATCH TICKS AGAIN!

I have work tomorrow. Boo. But I work with Matt. I like Matt. He has to wear a hairnet now and when I saw him on Thursday I laughed and laughed and he glared at me but it was ok.

I like classical music, did you know? *Sigh* I'm going to go read a book and eat some food now....or talk to people on MSN. Hi Steve!

Current Music: The Used-I Caught Fire

"In your eyes, I lost my place

Could stay awhile, and I'm melting

In your eyes...

Like my first time

That I caught fire

Just stay with me, lay with me now..."

I'm obsessed.

I haven't updated in awhile! Enh. I've had too much important, busyifying things to do. Umm...point form!

-I got the Loeb job. I need WHMIS and Customer Service briefing before I can actually work there though, so I'll be officially starting on Wednesday.

-I have 3 quizzes this week 0____________0 Eep.

-I still have panic attacks about my future, but I'm getting better. I think I'll be a forensic scientist.

-"You can stay and watch me fall, and of course I'll ask for help....just stay with me now."

-CSI Las Vegas has me totally entranced. I adore it. To hell with Dr.Phil when you can have autopsies and blood splatter fun and searching for dismembered limbs and appendages all over the filthy, gambling-ridden, booming metropolis of Las Vegas. *Heart sigh*

-PIT BAND...that is all.

-I was about 1/3 of the way through the Odessy of Homer....and I've lost the book *scowl*. Now I have to look for it and I'll forget everything I've read. All well though, I've got like 3 books on the go anyways, missing one is probably a good thing.

-Phantom of the Opera (movie version) comes out soooooon. Christmas. *psychotic episode*

-I have Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night...and I'm really not looking forward to it. I dunno why not, it just isn't appealing at all this year.

-Let's sleep till the sun goes out..."

I HAVE AN INTERVIEW AT LOEB FOR A JOB. MY LIFE IS GOOD.

*Falls over with bliss and happiness at the prospect of finally having a god damned job*
