I've definetly got a problem. I'm addicted...
Last night found me anxious. I was all out, and I needed another one, or I couldn't sleep. I looked under my bed, in the guest room, I couldn't find any i hadnt used before. It wasnt until I was in my parents room with a flashlight, moving quietly so as not to wake my mom, rummaging through dusty piles of books that i realized only a truly sad individual would resort to such tactics at midnight in order to get their fix. My name is Kristy, and Im addicted to reading. I need something to read. something good, something worth while, not something sad trashy and juvenile. sorry, but my reading level is not that of an 8 year old. I need reccommendations, and I need them soon, because I leave for oregon on friday, and that will most likely require a LOT of good books. I'm thinking about a trip to the bookstore before I leave, but that will probably run me about a hundred dollars.
Speaking of leaving, I think I finally don't feel like I can live here any more. Its been about a week, and Ive started to become irritable with certain things. i still fit in easily in the family routine, but as much as I love my family, I think i would value weekends home to visit more than living at home.
next friday im off to corvallis, and i dont start work till tuesday or wednesday, so that gives me a few days to get my apt set up and explore the town. im gonna bring my bike down, so i think ill do a lot of running, biking, swimming, and working out at the gym in my brand new apt complex. I swear, after this summer and next year in brand new apts, i'm going to be spoiled...

I *heart* David Foster Wallace (and not just cause he teaches at Pomona)--if you're ambitious, Infinite Jest is a project book, but if not, his other work has either been enjoyed by me or highly recommended to me. I also like Philip Roth, Dave Eggers, and all those early 20th century American fiction writers (Steinbeck, Hemingway, Faulkner...). As far as the staying active goes, it sounds like we're saying similar things, but I hope for your sake you stick to your goals better than I am/will. Have a good move to Oregon!
