numberoneblindit's storming, and has been for a few hours now. yay for storms.
I've made it through two of my four summer reading books just today, which leaves me with just one left (I read 'Great Expectations' first, dooooooom). Surprisingly not bad... 'The Natural' was interesting enough for all that it was thoroughly sports-oriented. And 'Brave New World' sucked me in to the point where I just read it in a little over 2 hours, plowing straight through.
...Which maybe wasn't the greatest idea. Ever since I was a little kid the eye doctors were baffled by the fact that I was such a good/voracious reader, because of the way my vision is -- I should have had reading problems, and they wanted me to have bifocals, with reading glasses in the bottom, but I declined because A). I didn't want to be a 4th-grader with bifocals, and B). I had no problems with reading so obviously, to my mind, I didn't need them. But the truth, apparently, is just that I'm a bit of a masochist when it comes to reading... I'll read and read and read and completely disregard the fact that it makes me feel as though someone has just slammed an axe into my forehead. OH well. But yeah. Ow. Dammit.
...yeah. and the computer screen probably isn't helping... and no one's online anyway... so I think I'm just going to go... and... and READ MORE!! AHAHAHAaahhafsdyagghshgyargle. yeah. I'm stupid. x_x

Brave New World is simply pneumatic...

I'm really awfully glad I'm a beta.
