Book Review!!!!
It's told from the perspective of five year old Jack, a boy who has lived his entire life confined in a 11 by 11-foot cell with his mother. To him, room is the entire world, it is all he has ever known. But to his mother, it is the chamber that she has been held captive for the past seven years, her own personal hell. Every night his mother shuts him away in Wardrobe where he is to remain while the ominous figure known as "Old Nick" comes to visit her.
Since it's told from the perspective of an incredibly naive 5-year-old, the book starts off as somewhat of a mystery that begins to unfold as Jack learns more and more about the reality of his situation.
I kind of found it a bit annoying following the story at first just because it was narrated the way a 5-year-old would actually talk, although you'll come to find that Jack is exceptionally intelligent for his age. However, I got used to the way he talked and quickly stopped noticing it entirely.
This book is similar to the real-life Fritzl case in Amstetten, Austria. Over all, I highly reccomend reading it if you are looking for a bit of new fiction to make your morning commute pass by much more quickly, or just something to keep you up at night until you finish every last page. I haven't read any other of Emma Donoghue's books but I'm certainly looking into them after finishing this.

the bed is empty and i feel crazy
Get More: MTV Supervideo, Music, Best Coast
I've been listening to Best Coast a lot lately. The songs on this album all kind of sound the same, but it's just a nice summery surf/pop band. They go great with this time of year, and I'm sure they'll make me yearn for this when I'm ass-deep in snow in a few months.
It's been a while since I've posted something remotely interesting. Mainly because summer gets so fucking repetitive. What did I do today? I worked. Then what did I do? Smoked. Ate. Watched TV. Maybe some yoga? Maybe I went out and drank with my friends. Maybe I did something outside. I probably cooked something for myself. Or went out to eat. But in all likelihood, I did all of those things. Just like the day before, and the day before that.
I've come to realize I don't really like the extreme seasons very much at all, I prefer the seasons of transition. Not just because of the mild weather but because no matter what, life always feels new and different in those seasons. I don't understand how everyone in those hot states can put up with this monotonous weather all year long. I would probably grow deeply, deeply depressed and lonely and sick of everything in my life.
So I don't think I've made it clear enough, but I'm excited for fall. I wanna go back to school, and be busy with fun stuff to do on weekends and great shows and starting my junior year and buying new clothes and learning to play this accordion I've acquired. Maybe try to style my hair like that chick above.
Hoped you enjoyed the video. Talk to you soon. Hopefully.

Summer Rage Part 2

So he's still acting like a dramatic yo-yo of emotion, and probably will continue to act this way for a while. Just got re-friended on facebook by him again, not surprised in the least. I wrote him a letter (speaking out loud isn't my forte) and I'm about to send it as soon as I finish this post. I basically told him that he's acting like he cares a lot more that he does, or should. Also, that if he continues to act like a soap opera star I won't be continuing to communicate with him. If that pisses him off he can suck it I guess, I'm really done feeling bad about this. I would have felt way worse if he wasn't such a shithead these past couple of weeks. But as it is, I don't see myself giving a shit for a while.
Amazingly enough, something good came out of this too. New man-friend, whatever you wanna call it. He's totally adorable (albeit skinny), plays like 7 different instruments and is ridiculous in the sack. Not to mention he's funny as hell (a must in my book) and somehow manages to treat me like a princess but respect me and treat me like a real human being all at the same time. He kind of just kicks ass in every way possible. I was kind of scared at first cause I didn't want him to start liking me as anything more than a hookup. Too bad I started liking him too. Even though we are more than a strictly sexual relationship, we're both totally on the same page as far as keeping this thing we have un-complicated. No drama, no jealousy, no bitchy texts, no drunk dials, no worrying about "what we are" or whatever bullshit people like to use to fuck up their relationships.
We went to six flags the other day with one of my main bitches from high school and her new man-friend and it couldn't have been more fun. At one point a group of guys started hitting on me and instead of being an annoying jealous guy about it he just smiled at me and ignored it. How refreshing right? I'm also pretty sure he's the first guy I've been with that my friends also think is cute. As if he didn't kick enough ass.
I'm gushing like a total loser right now but it feels good to be more positive at the end of a long, hate-filled rant. I'm gonna go back to writing my normal shit in a few days, I promise. I've just had a lot on my plate lately (these past two posts have barely scratched the surface) and once my affairs are in order I will be back with vengeance. See ya soon? Hello? Anybody?
