Sorry for being absent for so long. I haven't very 'social' online lately.

I have decided,after looking at many pretty 'Lucy in Narnia' wallpapers, I'm going to read the books again. And read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings again. I just can't read normal fiction, biographics, or anymore of The Great Gatsby. Am I the only one who doesn't like this "wonderful piece of American literature?" I've read two chapters already and already had the desire to throw the book against the room.

Oh, well, this has been my life... battling books...eating too many boxes of Pillsbury strudel...playing too many games of various forms of solitaire.

I've also been writing Gunsmoke fanfiction, of all things! And the first chapter for a LOTR book-love filled Bonanza fic, too! O____o I fear I am spiraling into a world of crushes on the oldest Cartwright brother, Adam. In a game of Screw, Marry, Throw Off a Cliff, he's my 'marry' choice. ^____^ ....isn't this going a little strange?!?!

Anyway, I'm off to hunt for more sites I have forgtten to bookmark. I deleted my old account on here and made a new one and named myself 'Galadriel' for the computer.

Sorry for not posting much the past couple of weeks. I've been confused/depressed (mental illness style) and I've finally figured out tonight that if I'm busy, I don't become depressed or confused and actually act like a real mutated-human* being! Yay!

Anyway, I have read some "new" fantasy fiction. It's a compilation of short stories by this gal Meredith Pierce.** The stories all have some sort of water theme with them, like snow or ice or water or whatever. I really enjoyed the first two stories and I'm now on the third, Icerose.

I finally installed Sims 3 again the other day. And again, I haven't played it yet. Do any of you play the Sims games? I used to have some of the Nintendo DS ones like Sims Kingdom and Sims Castaway(this one was pretty cool).

It's funny...I usually read more than book at a time. This session is:

• Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (light reading)
• The Portable Dorothy Parker (love, love this gal's work!)
• Miss Emily ( a novel about Emily Dickinson and her maid Ada...it is Ada right?)
• Waters Luminous and Deep (my water book)

I need to get started reading my National Geographics. It automatically reissued itself this month and I already have over 20 issues to read. I've only complete two, the dolphin and Pluto issues. I also meant to go back and look at the foldout graphs about the dolphins and never did. .... It's been well over a year and a half.....  >_<

Anyway, I'm going to get off now. I'm getting sleepy, but I'm not sleepy. I think I'll blame the lullaby of Cllickey operating on the letter 'C', which sounds like an old typewriter.***

*Autism is a cell mutation(yay for reading HHMI!), every time I think about it, I realized I'm basically a mutant!
**The author's name makes me think of that classic movie Mildred Pierce. Love it!
***Go have fun with your soon-to-be noisy keyboard!

 Would you lookie there? I'm not posting on my tablet, but on my computer! Finally, I say!

Thanks to all who posted nice comments to me! :D *hugs*

How is everyone??? I'm feeling wonderful today. I am just jammin' to Carole King, waiting for the mail to come by, and I plan on installing some awesome games on this machine, I went to the thrift store Friday, and guess what i got for $2? World of Warcraft with a thick  Bradygames(sp?) game guide. To me. it looks like an online version of the original Neverwinter Nights, you know, the one that was solely offline. I once had the platinum version (original game and two expansion packs) and it didn't like me after owning it for about eight years. :P I eventually had to make notes on how to install it correctly or else it was attack me instead of that drow in the corner.

In other news, I have been very mean to myself, beating myself up and doubting a lot. I don't know why I do that. And it is always worse at night. O__o I don't get it.

Been rereading Harry Potter lately. At some point, I had donated a lot of my books, HP along with them. So, I'm getting them slowly back in beat-up paperback form. ((( Something about a really used book makes me want to love it more. Anyone else like this?  )))  I only have books 1-3 so far, but that's okay. Oh! If you have read the Harry Potter series, what is your favorite book? Mine used to be book three, but after a few years, it drifted to book two. Now, I like books 1-4 the best.

Has anyone read the Inkheart Trilogy, the Earthsea series, or the Enchanted Forest Chronicles? I had Inkheart,  but that too was donated. I'm just wondering as I really want to read these. I did start Earthsea and Enchanted FC with books from the library but there's this thing that happens when I like a library book: I love it and want to own the book, so I put it back, knowing I might kidnap the damn book......I would never do that, as the library is a place where I can print things off at and yell at the librarian about how the library's edition of Jane Eyre is a child's edition with only 15 some odd pages. ((( they really cater to the older women who go to the library; every new book is like an Amish or Christian romance novel. Nothing wrong with that, but there are hardly any new books for other genres.)))

Now I feel like going there! They open at odd times, the library that is. On Tuesdays, it's ten o'clock. Monday and Wednesday thru Friday the library opens at either twelve or one o'clock. O_O Very hard to keep up with! 

I will leave you with that mini-library rant and go check the mail. 

*hugs to all!*
