it was much, much older than any of us

I think I burned myself out on books today. 0_o Read from the moment I woke up (somewhere around 9, I slept in today) till now-ish. That's what happens when I've got Ender's Shadow, Shadow Puppets, and Shadow of the Giant at the same time. I get carried away.
And you know, the only thing I find strange about this is that I just don't want to read anymore. ^^
I need to remember to go to the library tomorrow and get research books for my bio lab. And then write said lab. And then study for the biology test. I wish I could improve my hate/don'tparticularlycarefor relationship with biology.
On other news, my brother informed me this morning that my mom thinks it strange the way my friends and I only ever talk about school or books stuff when she drives us to school and never mention boys or other girlish things. Maybe I should tell her of the great anguish I felt today realizing that Orson Scott Card is already married. Or make up a crush or something, I'm kind of getting tired of her telling me that I never talk about my feelings. -_- No, seriously mom, I am not hiding great emotional drama from you, I swear.
Cobra Starship's new CD sounds all the same. :/

Date: 2007-11-18 01:21 am (UTC)Haha, I think my parents thought I was strange for not talking about girly stuff for a while either, but now I have tons of Jrock posters up in my room, and I think they're worried that I find boys that look like girls pretty. :'D
AND I COMPLETELY AGREE ON COBRAS NEW ALBUM. I'm so disappointed. ;_; I love Guilty Pleaasure (it really is a guilty pleasure. have you seen the video? o_o so bad. so addicting.) and The City Is At War, but other than that. It's like, "Oh, okay." nothing special. D:

Date: 2007-11-18 01:26 am (UTC)I wouldn't even mind if every once in awhile my mom didn't start talking about how she worries that I keep everything in and she won't believe when I say I'm not hiding anything. >_>
Those are the only two I really like too. All the others feel so derivative, whenever I hear the beginning of Kiss my Sass I feel like I should be hearing a line from The City Is At War and then I'm disappointed. =(

Date: 2007-11-18 01:34 am (UTC):P I guess it's just a moms job to worry needlessly like that. *sigh*
Derivative. Math term. Evil. *hides and cowers in corner* ;_; XD
Yeah, I know! They really do both start out the same... meh. And I was thinking about actually buying this album, I'm glad now I didn't. >_>;

That is pretty amusing. The only time my feelings come into a conversation with my mum is when the topic is revolved around, "DO YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND!?" Or something along those lines. Guess that's a pretty okay thing, since it means less scar conversation with my mum I don't want...xD
But as for you mum. She may just be a bit worried about you socially. Mothers tend to do that sometimes.

Date: 2007-11-19 12:15 am (UTC)Oh I know she is. It's just not all that fun going through the same conversation over and over again. ^^
no subject
Date: 2007-11-19 12:22 am (UTC)But anyways. I understand they pain. But all parents are like that. They worry over the same things all the time. I've been harassed about boyfriends too many times for me to not growl every time it comes up.
So, if it makes you feel better, in your head go, 'Yes mother, I am secretly being bullied by A TOOTHPICK! It's absolutely horrendous! Oh mum! How do you always know these things?!' And you may just find that the conversation in your head is more amusing than the one with your mother.

Date: 2007-11-19 12:37 am (UTC)See the funny thing is if I ever went and said 'why actually mom, there's this amazing dude I've met, would you mind if we dated?' she'd be horrified but as it is I think she's worried I'm missing essential teenage hormones. Maybe I will start imagining the toothpick story. xD

Date: 2007-11-19 12:50 am (UTC)Actually if I had that conversation in my head, "Why actually mum, I've met this amazing dude, mind if we dated?" I would have my mother reply, saying, "At Turner?" And then I would laugh my ass off.
Oh you should. Most definitely. Toothpicks are such assholes sometimes. Except for Dot. She's nice.

Date: 2007-11-19 12:56 am (UTC)See now I can imagine that and I'm laughing too. xD
Of course Dot's nice. Her name is Dot. have you ever met anyone (toothpick or otherwise) with a short name beginning with a D that wasn't nice? It's the Law of D(elight).

Date: 2007-11-19 05:09 am (UTC)I speak the truth. If our mothers were sensible women, which I'm not saying they aren't but sometimes you just wish they were a bit more sensible, they would know that the male population at Turner is best left at being described as...'a lot of brown boys.'
I do not think so. What a revelation! THIS IS EPIC! But I bet Dot the Toothpick is rather lonely being the only nice toothpick around. Poor thing.
It's the Law of D(elight) sounds like a very sensible thing indeed.
