I have less of a life right now, and more of a reading plan. There are just too many books, and I have neglected many too long! If I can finish the three I'm reading now, particularly 'The Da Vinci Code', by the end of this weekend, then I won't feel quite so weird when I go to the library to get 'Phantom of the Opera', 'Maurice' and 'Brideshead Revisited'. Thankfully, I have no work next week and only two papers to turn in, so I should have plenty of time. Yay! Maybe that's why I feel so unreasonably happy all the time; more reading makes me happy. I'm nuts.

Oh, and guess what my library has? 'Brideshead Revisited' as an audiobook read by Jeremy Irons! Yay! I'm getting it purely because I enjoy his voice *so* much, it's so soothing. It's the reason I was feeling all upset when they were talking of dismantling 'Spaceship Earth' in Epcot - it's narrated by him and it's the perfect way to take a few minutes to breath and relax; his voice is all calming and sweet, it's wonderful. Evelyn Waugh and Jeremy Irons, what better sound to fall asleep to? mmmm, I get all happy just thinking about it.

Had a discussion with my English teacher today about English A-level - he's considering reccomending me for lingual line English, which I'm considering, but I'm not sure I'd take it, if I got it; it seems quite arrogant to think I'm better than anyone else one might come upon in the science line of highschool. Also, I would like to be with people I know; it makes class more amusing.

Finally, let me icon rec:Poisoninjest has incredibly cool and pretty icon sets here. That's where my icon *thumbs towards it* Pretty girls! Pretty girls in love!

Also? Merchant of Venice, Phantom of the Opera, PoA, Princess Bride and muppets!

Reading plans work better than lives. I should know. Couldn't someone just hand me a reading plan? Then I could curl up in a good chair and not worry about anything.

Maybe you should take the offer; maybe not. That depends. You'll get held up to a higher standard if you take linguic line A-level English, which will probably mean better grades. On the other hand, there might be people there you can't stand. So, no, I can't really advise you. Sorry.

That they do; I wonder if that's why I've been so bouncy lately - the promise of a good book at the end of it all.

I don't know what to think, so I'll wait until he decides whether or not to recommend me, and whether the teachers accept his recommendation.

omg, books. *drools*

Yeah. Wait and see is the best course of action, I agree. *nods*

I couldn't go to the library even if I wanted to. It's closed. *sad*
