OMG I just remembered!!!

It's Wednesday!!!! That means I can reinstate Wednesday Wish You Were Here!!!!!!!

This week....

The Bodleian Library in Oxford England!!!!

This is what every library in the world should strive to look like! The interior boasts warm dark wood and walls covered in bookshelves.

In which I was really excited about thursday...

See... I get paid on Thurdays, so I was really looking forward to going to the local horse equipment store and getting some paddock boots for myself. Well, I was sitting in traffic today pondering the funness that tomorrow was going to be when "screeeeeech" go my breaks. I let out an expletive that would make a sailor blush because I know what this means, no paddock boots for me, no no no I must go tomorrow and sacrifice my firstborn child so that my breaks can be fixed and I won't be in any wrecks!!!

*sigh* maybe I'll be able to spare $20 to make a run to goodwill...

So about my job...

I have what Douglas Coupland has called a Mcjob. Basically low-income, low-intelligence job. Anyway, I was working the other day and came up with a list of things I hate about the people that come into the store.

A very short list of things I hate about retail:

1. People who put money on the counter when my hand is held out for it.
2. People who walk past what they are looking for and then ask me where it is.
3. People who ask for a bag when all they have is a card
4. People who don’t read the fine print on coupons and signs, they hold important info.
5. People who spend hours in the store only to buy two items
6. People who return items after using them more than once.
7. People who don’t pay attention in line.

I'm broke but I'm happy I'm short but I'm healthy, I'm high but I'm grounded I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed I'm lost but I'm

So I have made a list of fave's for the summer, at least so far;

1. Hot Pink nail polish
2. Bright colorful eyeshadow
3. Aviator sunglasses
4. Reading books while in the sun
5. Trips to the beach
6. Late night trips to Starbucks

more are sure to come, I mean, the Summers just started!!!

I'M BACK!!!!!

Oh my bloggers! How I have missed you! The school year is finally over, the tests are taken, papers turned in and I can blog to my hearts content!

We have a lot to cover because, though I haven’t been able to get to the blogs to chronicle my reading and other adventures doesn’t mean they haven’t been happening!

First I would like to discuss Christine Freehan. She is the author of several series such as The Ghostwalkers, and The Drake Sisters. The series I was reading was about the Carpathians. They are what some may call “good” vampires. They suck blood and can’t go out in the sunlight but they are not evil. The males of the Carpathian race can’t see in color or feel emotion after two hundred years or so, and they will not gain back either without finding their lifemate. Feehan’s vampires are Carpathians that have not found their lifemate and refuse to walk into the sun choosing to be consumed by their naturally dark nature.
I read several of the books in this series (which incidentally, can be read out of order) and I have to say that I was extremely frustrated by most of them. All of them feature Carpathian men, but, of the ones I read, only one featured Carpathian women, and they were all extremely resistant to becoming the lifemate to their destined mate. Yes, the men are overbearing and have very set ideas about what their women should do; but they are devoted to the women from the very first second they lay eyes on them. Only after several tense (not sexually) encounters do the women accept what they are.
It was all very frustrating and I found myself yelling at the books quite a lot.

I have also developed a fondness for Manga. I’m reading three series right now, Demon Flowers, Vampire Knight, and Deathnote. I would describe the plots of each of the manga here but each plot is really complex and has so many layers that it would take all day long!


Then, of course, the thing I have been waiting months for…. Lover Avenged!!!!
I haven’t read the book or bought it yet, just because I know that it will consume my life once I buy it. Also, my family is going to Tybee in June!!! So I might read it there!!

That pretty much brings us up to speed! Be ready to hear lots from me as the summer continues!!
