I’m inputting old dreams into my dreamlog right now, and I found this one dream where I found some Fruit Stand drinks. Now I really want a Fruit Stand juice. >_> Even though the bottle mouth always bugged me and I was afraid I’d hurt myself on it.
It doesn’t help that I just had a chicken sandwich with salsa in it, all pretty salty.
Fruit Staaaaand … *drools*
*twitchtwitch* Something else I want. Must have. NEED. *snerk* But I don’t have $100, or even the $70 Amazon is selling it for.
I want a first edition though!! I’ve developed a taste for those things, ever since Neil Gaiman pointed out the differences between the first edition and second edition of Anansi Boys. At the time it didn’t matter much to me which one I bought, but since Waldenbooks Borders Express had the first edition, that’s the one I got. I grew very attached to it. When Fragile Things came out I made sure to get a first edition. Now Neil Gaiman has Absolute Sandman out and … and … I just NEED a first edition! ;_; *brat*
(Curse you, Neil! *shakes fist toward the sky*)

Right now I have my hair up in one of those things where the end of the ponytail isn’t pulled all the way through the hairtie. I don’t know what that style is called. Some sort of faux bun? I dunno. My hair isn’t actually long enough to all be pulled into a ponytail. I’ve finally caught on to the use of hair clips to catch those unattractive wisps of hair, though. *snerk*
Lately I’ve been thinking of letting my hair grow out and getting some sort of layered haircut, with sideswept bangs. Oooh, I want bangs! But I’m too lazy to maintain hair longer than shoulder length. Not even shoulder length. For some reason, if my hair is going to stay this length, I’m not brave enough to have any cut other than the one I’m currently sporting. Maybe because that would entail cutting my hair even shorter, and at the moment I don’t want that, I actually want longer hair, I just don’t have the patience to maintain it.
I watched Shimotsuma Monogatari tonight, aka Kamikaze Girls. Wahh, I want Momoko’s hair. ;.;
I found this book in the library called Camp 38: A Current Model of Northern Europe Before Christianity (something like that) by Jill Von Konen, and since someone(s) had checked out the book I was reading (and am still “reading”), Cat’s Cradle, I picked it up. This was during the spring.
Earlier this week I tried picking it up again to finish it, but I just had to stop reading. Normally I finish books that I start, even if it’s just an okay book. But that book, I really don’t enjoy it. >_> I can’t exactly place my finger on what I don’t like about it.
It’s about, it’s kind of like all those other books that comment on society or government or both by using a different society to compare with. This lady is taken away to some place in the woods where these people have left modern society and gone back to some basic social structure.
I guess what I don’t like about it is how the main character, the lady, keeps comparing this society to the other one, and she keeps insisting these people have it right, they’re superior to modern society and such, and that she’s wrong, no matter what she thinks. In other books I’ve read there’s no such direct commentary, it’s all supposed to be inferred by the reader. When I read Camp 38 I just have this knee-jerk reaction to what the lady is thinking, that she’s stupid and mindless and easily swayed, that I can’t even think for myself about the book’s ideas.
The other characters, too, they keep thinking they’re superior and they wait for the lady to fit in with them. That part’s not that bad, I guess, can’t explain it well, just adds to the annoyance somehow. I just can’t figure out exactly why I don’t like this book. ^_^;;

I did this a while ago, August 31. I just forgot about posting it here until I was cleaning out my e-mail inbox today. *snerk* Also I haven’t really updated this blog in a while, so … here’s something!
The main reason I didn’t sign up earlier than this summer was I wasn’t sure if a family member wanted my body for a funeral and a burial plot. >_> But meh. I just signed up for it. Before that, a minor reason I didn’t even put the pink dot on my driver’s license was that I had to fully accept that I’m really gonna die eventually. *laugh*
