I SURVIVED

After three days of turkey and pie for every meal I have escaped back to the prosaic world of school lunch (it's chicken nuggets today woot woot!). I have probably gained some mass in my lower mid-section and should probably go for a run but I won't because i'm lazy it's snowing and running laps around my living room doesn't sound quite as tantalizing as sitting on the couch with hot chocolate.

Anywaysies. Vanessa is...somewhere. I don't know (as you can tell we're quite organized here). So imma do a music monday. Vanessa. If you want to you can put some up too.

I have a confession. I'm ashamed to say that I may like One Direction. I try not to. I usually hate pop music and boy bands. But I can't help it. I'm sorry. I can't stop listening to Take Me Home (their new album). Seriously, I never gave them a chance until this weekend. And I regret (haha who am I kidding) every hour that I spent watching their video diaries. But I have to say that Over Again is fantastic (along with last First Kiss and Little Things and Heart Attack and Rock You and Kiss You and all of it). Seriously. Look it up. Enjoy it. Get Spotify if you don't have it already (seriously it's a lifesaver/moneysaver).

My Weird Obsession (besides books)

So...now that you've realized my weird obsession with anything literary, I should probably clue you in on something else that peaks my interest. 

Quantum Mechanics. Yes, I know. But I love it. I watch documentaries on it, I read all the news. I sit in Chemistry class after the bell rings and I discus it with my science teacher. I'm a full blown nerd when it comes to this stuff. The fact that light is both a particle and a wave...at the same time. Yeah. 

Like this.
I literally died from excitement...but seriously. I quantum computer. THIS IS FANTASTIC. 
I'm sorry. I just had to share my excitement. Don't feel obligated to read the article ;)

Obsession

"Life is nothing if you're not obsessed." 

-John Waters

Sometimes people don't understand why I spend so much time reading books. They don't understand why I research the settings and motifs behind the plot. But that's what makes it so great. Being completely and sincerely obsessed with the characters. Books are nothing unless you are invested in the  plot. That's what I love about books. You have the privilege of creating a world all your own. Yes, the author creates a landscape for you, but it's up to the reader to fill in the details. To add color to the black and white page in front of them.
