"Give me sentences that are true,

sentences that are naked bodies.

Give me paragraphs that rush and yield

like a girl dancing alone.

Give me words that smell like autumn."

Hallows not Horcruxes plus KISSING

Currently reading ...


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows



You can make fun of me all you want, I have Potter mania. MANIA. I have now read Deathly Hallows about six and a half times.


And a half, you ask? Yes. My co-worker Josh is reading the series for the first time, so naturally, I peed my pants and started to re-read them with him. I tried to read at Josh's achingly slow pace, but after I cruised through Half-Blood Prince, I had generated such speed I couldn't stop. So now, a million years later, Josh got about halfway into Hallows, I started on the same chapter he was on and read from there. To the end.


Josh is only one chapter past where I re-re-started. Josh is the worst.
















Currently writing ...

a kissing scene between Neely and a particular boy


I told my friend Kristin that I was going to write a kissing scene to stand in for my sorry singleness. Because two made-up characters kissing on paper is just as good as the real thing.

Right.

At least I get to make the guy amazing. On my online dating site, the only men interested in me are 55 and divorced with elephantiasis.
