this isn't going to go over well, but

I've secretly been enjoying Ingrid Michaelson, for the last nine months or so. She's on the NPR music page, right now. Today. And today has been a wonderful day so far. I've been listening to NPR all morning, drinking coffee and looking at the bountiful books of next semester. Contemplating reading Are You There God? It's me, Margaret early, just for the sake of it. The J said that she read it growing up and for some reason, and why I can't figure out, I envy her for that. The first thing ever that I envy her of and it sort of fits this coming-of-age-twelve-year-old-girl frame of thought I've had going on. Now, I could blame the playlist I've set up, but I'm sure it'll all pass in about twenty minutes when IM's set is up.













For now, my teeth are unbrushed and brazed with yesterday and I'll now post the list of books I've purchased for next semester and paid a mere $75 to get all of them. They're not all here yet, but that's all I paid. Later on after work, I plan on doing some poeting in a poem-off Boots challenged me to. We've agreed on the first line reading Tommy was the shit in High School. Probably in a nice font. Iambic Pentameter. We've also agreed that we're both writing two songs before the end of January to have a song-off. Anyway, it reads:

*Are You There God? It's me, Margaret.
*The Bluest Eye
*Handmaid's Tale
*Vision Quest
*Slaughterhouse-Five (had it.)
*Harry Potter (this one I'm more confused about than anything. Damn you, Gwen Griffin, there better be good reasoning behind this, or I'll have the Native Americans curse you. They really don't like you. And yes, as long as we're reading High School books, I'll adopt a High School mentality though I'm sure I never had one. The only reason I'd ever read a story about wizards and closets would be because it were mildly sexual, but this one isn't, so I'm probably going to have a difficult time.)
*And Tango Makes Three
*The Things They Carried

*The Triggering Town
*At The Drive-in Volcano (And I am Jazzed.)
*Pax Atomica

*Complete Stories of Flannery O'Connor
*Mystery+Manners
*Two or Three Things I Know For Sure
*Wise Blood
*Bastard Out of Carolina
*The Color Purple
*In Love+Trouble

Have a wonderful day, everyone.
Damnit, I have to shower now.
