of books and guilt trips
Jan. 28th, 2003 11:49 pmI've been reading over everyone else's opening lines from favorite books meme and they're all so interesting and remind me of what cool, interesting, super-smart people I've got on my friends list. It makes me nervous to even try to come up with my own list, because I know it'll be so boring and lame in comparison! I've been trying anyway, if only to give myself something to space out over at work other than JC, but so far I've only got a few for-sures and about thirty possibles. I always suck at narrowing such things down, and I'm sure by the time I've thought about it enough, I'll have lost interest and the list will never get posted.
The whole endeavor is worth it, though, even if no list is created, because in my book hunt I came across my old copy of Wuthering Heights, which I haven't opened in years, and found a note written in my fourteen-year-old print saying "If you find this book, please call me and let me know because it is my favorite book. ~Jessica [MyLastName] [My phone number]" I was such a dork! I used to leave notes in all of my belongings that had special meaning to me, especially if they were gifts, telling the person who found/stole it how much it meant to me and to please return it to me. I knew how powerful guilt could be and I was not afraid to use it as a weapon against others!
Oh, it's so late! Must go to bed. It's just as well, I'm feeling excessively boring tonight. Maybe I'll wake up more interesting tomorrow. A girl can hope!
