who AM i?

i'm acting like a teenager again. even though i just turned thirty-two. i wouldn't say it's necessarily a mid life crisis. on the contrary, these past few months i've been just about the happiest i've ever been. but i have been acting like a love-sick fool prone to excessive sighing, declarations of a certain boy's dreaminess, and the repetitious blaring of mopey music. absolutely ridiculous. i should be ashamed of myself, i know. but the great selenie is twitterpated and there is simply nothing that can be done, so i suggest we all just move along. go back inside your homes; nothing to see here, people.

in other news, i have become a reading fiend. i mean, i have always had a voracious appetite for books but Nick, the same sweet boy responsible for turning me into that pathetic, sappy mess mentioned above, also made the crucial mistake of buying me a nook for my birthday and now it's so much worse. in truth, my heart had longed for such a device, but i feared buying one for turning into some novel-obsessed beast. and now look at me. i crave it. i need it. i bring it with me wherever i go, reading whatever i damn well please. and because no one can tell what i'm reading, i've picked up the notebook because curiosity got the better of me. the notebook for crying out loud!!!! I'M A MONSTER!!! (cue buster bluth slashing down the "welcome home buster" banner)

ahem.

move along, people. move along.

in my defense, i'm just finishing up book three of the dragon tattoo series, and that's some heavy stuff, man. a little light-hearted mush fest is a welcome reprieve from all the stabby stabby with the axe-y axe-y that goes on with those crazy swedes. but it is a good series once you get into it. which i am. and which i am now going to return to. have yourself a lovely weekend.

here's your found item of the day:
