the afternoon after an all-nighter

Well I was planning on just posting a few brief thoughts while I'm still delirious from having not slept last night. stupid finals. But alas, my finals are over and I can't sleep so, enjoy the ramblings of an insomniac, the afternoon after an all-nighter. We'll start with some ideas I thought might be brief... apparently "living better through chemistry" can lead you to spend an hour writing on your blog even though you haven't slept since umm...

Idea #1: At first I was intimidated by being, what seemed like the only girly, non-SG Gainesville blog out there, I'm beginning to like it. I feel somewhat connected and I like being different. However, I think I might make same changes, which leads me to idea #2.

Idea #2: I think I would like to make a shift from insomniac ramblings, to a group project. Basically, I can't possibly be entertaining enough on my own, and my potential blogging partners have much different interests and can bring in tons of new topics.

Idea #3: Okay I think I'm done with the ideas section. Let's move on.

Random thought: Harry Potter. Wow. The 6th book was amazing, I can't wait for the next one. Its a really dirty trick to make us wait so long...

I just read this blog post about H Pots, and I couldn't even think of what to comment, but I felt like I had to. I have been trying to say the exact same thing for years now.
I actually hated reading in high school. I never read for fun, ever. I actually ended up liking a few High School books, like the Great Gatsby, but only because my English teacher was amazing and she made me like those books.
My freshman year of college, I stumbled into reading the second Harry Potter book. My boyfriend was reading them and he was seriously tearing through them. It was making me so angry that he was reading them so fast, and he would not put them down.
Anyway, he was just always reading these, what I thought to be at the time, stupid books, and he wouldn't stop. So while I was sitting there watching him read, I started reading the pages with him because I was bored.
So as soon as he finished the second one, I picked it up and read it. This was like four years ago and I have loved reading ever since. I tore through those books in like three weeks and was so excited to have read them so fast that I wanted to keep reading, and I have.

So check out that post about Harry Potter. Let me know what you think. I have some friends that are just as obsessed with H Pots as I am, but I still have some that are nay-sayers, and refuse to read the "children's books." I've been trying to get my 16 yr. old brother to read Harry Potter since he was about 12 and he still refuses. He's the same way I was with reading, and I really wish he would at least try to read the book. Stupid baseball players, they think they are so macho. bah.

Okay well CLEARLY I've digressed a tad.

Oh! Greek on a Leash cracked my shit up again today! I know its like the GoaL fan club everywhere you turn, but come on, we all try to be funny, and GoaL is just knocking them dead! My favorite part in GoaL's latest post is definitely, "This is so crazy - I guess I picked the wrong day to quit taking amphetamines..." ha! okay well maybe it wasn't meant in the funny way I thought it was funny, but then again maybe it was.

Well that is all for now. Apparently I'm going to Texas this Thursday, via a train, to pick up a car in Houston, and drive it back here. We will be stopping in New Orleans Sat night and possibly in Ft. Walton Beach Sunday night.
Yes, it is complicated and crazy. It should be a very interesting road trip. I'm sure there will be many stories- possibly some from the train, as I will be taking the laptop with us as our main source of entertainment... I should really start getting some pirated movies.

rock out.
