Oh. Hah. I suppose I should tell you what these reasons are explaining. These are (whatever number it ends up to be) reasons why I'm convinced I'm a book-obsessed crazy person.
1) A little while ago, I was pondering whether or not I should buy capri pants before they sell out, or buy books. There really wasn't even much pondering. Books won.
2) I was watching some movie in which a couple became engaged & were going to pre-marriage counseling. I started wondering if, whenever I'm going to get married, I would go to pre-marriage counseling. I had pretty much convinced myself that I wouldn't need to, when a thought popped into my mind...
"Wait! Christy and Todd had to go to pre-marriage counseling! And they were like the most put together, best couple ever to walk this earth!! I'll definitely need it..."
Yeah, Christy and Todd are fictional characters.
3) When people ask me for advice, the wealth of my advice comes from books. Fictional books.Out of which I have never paused to wonder if the advice will actually translate well into the real world. Woops.
4) I'm most likely going to have to get a job soon. I recently hit the panic button when I realized that meant I wouldn't be able to sit around and read all summer.
5) Sometimes I'm talking to a person and I can't figure out who they remind me of. Fast forward a few hours and I realize it was this character from that book, or that character from this book.
6) I've spent many a Tuesdays (the busiest day of my week, homework-wise) procrastinating homework to read.
7) I've pulled quite a few all-nighters. Reading.
8) I treat my books much better than many of my other possessions that should probably get more respect. Too bad for them.
9) "What do you want for your Birthday?"
"Books."
"....Besides books..."
"....Money to buy books with?"
10) I often find my self in situations that require the question, "What would (insert random fictional character's name here) do in this situation?"
11) I cry over books. A lot.
12) Sometimes I'll be doing something and I'll start laughing randomly. Because I remembered a really funny quote from a book.
13) You know that feeling when you have a (pardon the term) crush? Not that you totally like (hate that word too) somebody. But just a smallllllllll attraction? Yeah, sometimes I have that feeling and I have no clue why.
...Do I even need to finish this statement? Didn't think so.
(But for
14) Sometimes I'm angry, like, really angry, and people ask me why I'm angry. I try to tell them, but apparently they think it's funny when I say, "Because Katniss kissed Gale when she shouldn't have and now the boy with the bread is really upset and he's supposed to be her soul mate and I've been rooting for Peeta all along and now it's all falling apart and I want more than anything to throw this book out my window, but I just can't yet because I figure I've gotten this far, I should just finish them, but I still really hate them, and yet I really love them and I just can't figure out if I like these books or not but all I know is that I'm angry that this author has to go and poke holes in perfect relationships!"
...Silly people.
15) I've slowly pieced together my picture of my "dream guy"...based solely upon my favorite male characters from books.
...And I would just like to say that the fact that I even wrote this post points to the fact that I'm just a teeny bit obsessed with books...
P.S....My recent favorite? Save the Date by Jenny B. Jones. Such a cute, hilarious book.
[I finished it on Tuesday ;)]
