between the pages

I felt the need for a "chatty post". A hodge podge of things, in a rather informal (what other style do I have?) way to get thoughts on the page...

Reading-
I tore through, Running with Scissors, in a day. Loved it, hated it (not really, just didn't like what happened to the main "character"- just a child) , it got my brain working. And that part made me love the book more. It's sort of like "a fix". I get a taste and want more. I used to read in that way as a teen. Back before there were bills to be paid, clothes (more than my own) that needed to be washed, dinner to make and all that day-to-day stuff that makes me push those things I like a little further down on my to get to list. I love to stitch but sometimes, I feel the need to go elsewhere outside my own head. Which means books!
Well I want to read, Dry,by Augusten Burroughs, but my library doesn't have it. I would have to fill out a little form to request it via interlibrary loan. It could be a week or more.... I also want to get my hands on Twilight, by Stephanie Meyer, which has a waiting list at the library- it could mean months of being on the list. And I don't think I will wait that long. I think I would just break down and either buy it or ask around to see if anyone has a copy they'd be willing to part with for about a week.


Blogging-
I had the perfect blog name for a new, more private and personal blog - in addition to this one-but every version I could come up with was taken.
Back to the drawing board.

Oh! Gotta scoot!
