So last week I zipped straight through the first two Twilight books and dove into The Bell Jar, which I'm now about halfway through because I couldn't get to sleep last night and stayed up for a long time reading. All I want to do is read. In my bed, at a coffee shop, at my boyfriend's house, lounging in the living room, everywhere, all the time. My consciousness is telling me I'm trying to shut the rest of the world out and be something else for a while. My subconscious agrees I think.
But alas, that's not all I've been up to. I got a little bit of writing done, although I feel like I need to write MORE if this project is ever going to get some bulk to it. I've also made a list of daily sketches to make for the next 30 days (well, 28 now) to push myself in the drawing & visual thinking direction. It's an idea I picked up from old high school classes when our professor would give us a list of things to draw and each week we had to pick at least two things from the list to sketch. Anyway, I've got a small sketchbook at the moment, and I thought it would be simple enough to do some kind of sketch once a day. Since I've already planned out what to do each day, there's pretty much no excuse not to - which is what I feel like I need right now - no excuses.
OH! I also picked up these headphones yesterday which I'm pretty excited about:
Sure, they're pretty gaudy, but I'm okay with that. At least now I'll be able to hear the classical music I'm trying to listen to over whatever's playing at the coffee shop.
So, time to get things in order today and move on to....the next step of this whole joblessness thing...? I have no idea what I'm doing these days.

It's my first ever character in World of Warcraft. He's in the Moonglade, a place where Druids of both Horde and Alliance allegiance go to reflect.

I'm on the third twilight book right now. Someone just gave me the set and I can't seem to put them down till I read all of them.
