Here's to Starting a Blog

Well. Why did I create a blog? Because work is a little slow, seeing as how it is Spring term, and I need something to fill up my time till the hands on the clock hit 5 o'clock. So here I am. That just shows you how desperate I am to fill up time, filling up a blog that probably no one will even read. So, basically I am just talking to myself. You know, smart people tend to talk to themselves (quoting my boss).

You know what else I do to fill up my time nowadays?  I read.  I didn't really enjoy reading, even if I read a good book here and there, but after reading the Fablehaven series and the Hunger Games, I find myself wandering the site of Goodreads.com and looking for books to read.  I think I actually enjoy reading now (minus school textbooks... yuck).  I just finished Mockingjay yesterday, and I mean, the ending wasn't TERRIBLE like I have heard from practically everyone, but it was kind of depressing.  Even though Katniss ended up with Peeta (yay!) and has two kids.  She just never found true happiness after her life of Hunger Games and war.  She was depressed till the end, which made me kind of depressed.

I also finished reading  The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks a week before I finished Mockingjay.  It wasn't his typical romance novel.  Sure, there was some romance here and there, but it was overall creepy.  I did some of the reading right when it started getting scary when I was home alone because Robert was at work.  And it was night.  It's about this girl whose husband dies, and four years later she starts dating again.  She dates boring Bob until she meets Richard.  Richard is the perfect man and takes her out on amazing dates.  Then there's Mike, who was her husband's best friend growing up, so she's known him for 12 years.  Everything's going great, until a creeper stalks her (it's kinda obvious as you read who it is, but I don't wanna give it away).  Yeah.  That's why I was getting scared all by my lonesome in my little apartment as night was approaching.  It's a good read, and I recommend it.  Just don't read it by yourself at night.
