Checking in

I actually don't really have much to talk about. However, I'm mildly bored, so here goes.
Hmm.
Well. It's another snow day. This time, the phone rang at a reasonable hour so it's a little easier to enjoy.
I'm at the library again. I was actually going to go talk to one of the librarians, but I didn't think I was coming today, so I didn't mention it--and I really don't want to be that terrible person who shows up randomly. Oh well, I still might.
I'm reading this:

Which is actually kind of good. It's not techincally my favorite genre, but I'm weirdly attracted to it.
On another, more random note, I CANNOT WAIT For this movie!!
I'm sitting here watching the movie trailer and it looks
sooooo good. I cannot wait. I love that series.
Greek Mythology is amazing. I love books about it--that really is my favorite sort of genre.
I'm off to go stare at the trailer. The main guy looks remarkably like Zac Efron to me. . .

Library bound


A couple days ago, my sister bought World Of WarCraft, a game where the girls kill monsters and yet don't have the sensibility to wear real clothes:


However, you cannot play this game at my house. Why? Well, the internet connection just isn't good enough. (Thank god.) So, now, and for the last three hours and the next two hours of my life, I am at the local library.

It's not that I don't love the library. I do. Really. I even read a book.


But after this much time, it's starting to get old.
Of course, I do have a my sister's friend here with me, who happens to be quite lovely. (Yes, she is reading over my shoulder. Hiya, other, older Sam.) She's currently on my phone and looking at epicfail.com



I think I've created an adict.

Anyway. I wanted to thank Kendra for the website that gave me the new background. I really love the site, and I might not stick with this particular background, but I probably will stick with 'Dotty Dot Dot.' :)
That's pretty much it for now. I'm off to wander the library. It's a really great one; it's huge, for one thing, and the windows have these quotes on them inside. The first time I saw them, I kind of sighed. I mean, come on, quotes about reading are wonderful, but they can be kind of . . . Well, cheesy. (I still love them. I just wasn't impressed.)
Then I actually looked at them.
These are a couple.
What you do, the way think, that's what makes you beautiful. --Uglies
Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth. --Dumbledore
Wise? No, I simply learned to think. --Eldest
It is easier to floss with barbed wire than to admit you like someone in middle school. --Speak.
The last is true in highschool, too.
Anyway, I quite approve. I want those stenciled on my walls. :D
(Sam, if you're reading this, that is NOT an invitation to start using sharpie to draw on my bedroom walls.)
The best part? In the Dumbledore quote, all of the 'i's are dotted with pretty star thingys that are VERY harry potter esque.
Gah. The library just got invaded by loud teenage boys. I'm running away into the booth we snagged earlier.
More later.
