well apparently the terrible show on last night instead of the family guy was love cruise, not temptation island. but how could i have known.
i got out early from visual culture today (group project plus time to work during class equals everyone makes sure they know what they have to do and we all leave. oh, and i’m in a group with the heartbreakingly beautiful girl from the other day, who is also pretty bright it would seem. so at least now she hopefully knows my name, although probably has no idea the incapacitating crush i have on her), so i went to the bookstore to buy a book to follow good omens. then i sat outside the building of my next class in the shade on a mild, breezy, and wonderful afternoon and read good omens for a while, which i absolutely adore. it’s so enjoybable to read, and it’s so funny and quirky. not always in a laugh out loud way — though it’s sometimes that too — but usually in an “oh my, that was really clever” way, or that way that you smile inwardly because you get it and appreciate it. and there was a really spectacular line in it from what i read this afternoon that went something like, “she was beautiful, but she was beautiful in the way a forest fire was beautiful; something to be admired from a distance, not up close”. i thought that was such a cool description of this girl, not because she wasn’t beautiful up close, but because she was just so beautiful (and dangerous, in the case of this character) that you shouldn’t or couldn’t get close. and i think it hit me extra hard because ms. heartbreaker has this amazing maroon-red hair. ouch.
see, i can’t even keep my mind on books for very long, and i’m a reputed bookworm.
