51.0

I'm really bad at condensing things. Which sucks because that's my stylistic goal as a writer but whatever. I've got 10 years to work at it.

Anyway, I'm in between pass times at the moment. Trying to learn a simple song on the guitar and reading various exerpts of works that I should read completely. I'm switching back and forth in hopes that it will get my brain to think about something else other than my poor excuse for a research paper that I had the audacity to turn in... Whatever. This is all just material for my memoir.

I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday. I have a love-hate relationship with that place. Love because whenever I go there I end up staying for 4 hours at minimum just reading. Hate because they debunked Borders and everything there is so expensive. I came across a Billy Collins book and a Kurt Vonnegut novel that I just HAD to have but decided against it. I don't like spending my parents' money for anything superfluous (even though one can NEVER have too many books). I have guilt issues when it comes to anything financial.

This post had an initial subject but I forgot it. This is what happens when I let thoughts fester for too long. Either that or I've been eating a lot of ginger lately. Ginger makes you forget things. But I haven't consumed any ginger. Not even ginger tea! So I think I'm just very slow and forgetful. It may be my iron deficiency. I could always blame that.
See, that's one up side to the world today is one is never to far away from an excuse. From some magnificent external force that impedes you from doing whatever it is you're just too incompetent to do. Nothing is ever your fault. But excuses don't really serve their band-aid-like purpose. I always feel that they emphasize incompetence instead of mask it. I try so hard not to use them but everyone gives in at least a little.
So while I'm on the subject: I'm sorry. This was going to be more interesting but it didn't end up that way.
I blame excess ginger and lack of iron.
