THINGS WEARING OFF:
Haruki Murakami: A Wild Sheep Chase: A Novel
It takes a master to make me identify with a male protagonist. Quickly becoming one of my favorite books.
Steve Martin: Pure Drivel
"....she gave me her number but since it was all sevens, I couldn't remember it."
Katherine Mansfield: Stories
'The Garden Party' has been my favorite short since I was like 12, but I just re-read this thing and it's still amazing. READ IT.
Norton Juster: The Phantom Tollbooth
A favorite book from when I was younger, still one of my favorites.
Vladimir Nabokov: Lolita
Not for the faint of heart, but fanfreakingtastic.
Andrea Seigel: Like The Red Panda
One of the best books I have ever read. GET IT.
Douglas Adams: The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
My all-time favorite books in one not-compact form.
Now this I call random.

Agreed about silver nail polish and glitter eyeliner. But is it wrong that I still lust after sparkly eyeshadow? I don't think that will ever wear off for my inner five year old.
Speaking of rice cakes, thanks for making me crave one. What toppings do you put? I'm partial to peanut butter. :p

Scientists and poets could have a discussion about your blog posts.

Oh, ice water and its strange powers. It can drive a person to MADNESS.

you go on a daily mile run!?!? id die!!
I can barely go on a two minute walk daily hahah
Posted by: tinaearls87 | July 03, 2009 at 03:03 PM
4 mile runs??? DAILY???
I wish I was capable of that.
Posted by: Olivia | July 03, 2009 at 03:36 PM
There is much to be said for someone who runs 4 miles a day, they either have very little to do or have seriousd ego problems. Much can eb said for someone who follows a "celeb" online though. They too either have a little to do or have a serious ego problem. for myself I reckon the latter.
As for rice cakes, not really that many of them in Scotland. As in none at all. I am quite happy about this a cake of rice doesn't sound too appealing to me.
Also Ice water is sucha strange thing, because ice and water are the same compound just in different states due to temperture or pressure.
Hhhhmmmm I really must get a personatily.

But you didn't show us the leaf...

its probably the summer heat thats causing your lips to bleed by drying up, maybe you should use lip-balm. i know, ive been through that path before, well more like a heat stroke from lawn mowering but im now more stronger to withstand the summer heat now.

currently my tolerance is 5 mile, but I'm so stranger this days that I don't wanna get out of my bed, but a day I'll come back to run and to make non diet of rice cake.

U should make a youtube video about why ur losing tolerance for moshing, maybe show bits of u moshing...
it would be BEASTLY!!!
Posted by: Christian Reaper | July 04, 2009 at 02:06 AM
I can't offer any advice on the eyeliner or nail polish, sorry -- just a couple of things outside of my limited realm of experience. Same thing with the four-mile runs and the mosh pits and the rice cakes and special new friends (or special old friends for that matter -- lost the instructions someplace)...
Hmmm...
Maybe if you combined all of the activities into one (or at least some -- except for the bleeding lip and making out with the lawnmower, of course) it could make the events much more interesting (well, challenging at the very least).
Manny's probably right about the heat dehydrating your lips. Lip balm should help you there.
Okay, I'm definitely out of my element here. Time to go back to my melon blend and "Married: With Children."
Posted by: Jon | July 04, 2009 at 02:13 AM
Nice to see that there are more people who like to write random stuff. Artichoke.
Well done with getting a new friend (elephant in the room bonus) and shame about the lip (wibble).

I eat the cinnamon rice cakes. Kudos on running four miles a day. I know I couldn't make myself do that.
