My mom.


What is the wierdest dream you've had?

I'm being slammed with work also. I have this huge project to work on plus a few tests this week. I don't know if all my professors just meet and decide to have everythign all on the same day/week..but this is ridiculous.

I think I'm going to go back to school although I have been thinking about just taking off and traveling. I'll need to get a job before I do that. lol

Wow..I feeel old too. I think I was one of the first people to join this group. I haven't been on in a while and I am sooo surprised to see how large it has grown. :)

I guess I'll take the last spot.

I haven't been on here in a while.I just kinda forgot about Goodreads but I'm happy to be back! :)

Anyways, because I'm trying to tackle the 1001 reads before you die list, I'm going to nominate:

The Story of Lucy Gault by William Trevor

Wow! I just might have to join in on this one!

I've been lurking alot. Sometimes I don't come here for a while and then I get too self conscious because there are so many new people and I don't want to just jump right into a conversation. I should get over that one.

category 1: Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

I'd rather be the hare.

Would rather work for a magazine or for a movie producer?

good: they entertain children at the beach
bad: they get destroyed by the waves!


Lizards

I couldn't put I am the Messenger down as well as Pride and Prejudice.

I've never read Gone With The Wind either!! I feel like I should have read that by now.

Hmm good topic.

I really like the first line of Slaughterhouse Five-- All this happened, more or less.


Another good first line I remember liking was from Cat's Eye:

Time is not a line but a dimension, like the dimensions of space.

Brown.

What did you have for dinner last night?

I'm an only child so I guess that would explain why I hate having roommates at school! lol

I regret not learning to change a flat tire ( I needed this skill last month), not taking drawing classes, and not learning certain math skills but rather copying homework when i was in middle school/high school. haha

I would rather be invisible.

Would you rather have a horrible sunburn or mild frostbite?

ham

One time I came out of the bathroom at a party with toilet paper hanging out of my pants. I may have been slightly drunk. lol
