reading and writing and no rhythmatic.

Okay so after the initial excitement of the screenplay outline, I realized how tired I am of the whole damn thing and that seven years is just too long to be working on something as short as a screenplay - obviously, something hasn't been clicking. I just need to let it go with love and embrace the new. Hopefully a novel of some sort.

These are some books I can read 8,000 times and underline the hell out of and never get tired of -

girl walking backwards, the wrestling party - bett williams
love is the drug - sarahbeth purcell
america the beautiful - moon zappa
wasted - marya hornbacher
prozac nation - elizabeth wurtzel
just checking - emily colas (the best book about ocd ever)
suicide blonde - darcy steinke

(strangely enough, i haven't really liked any of steinke's other books)

my favorite books in highschool were hey dollface and second star to the right both by debra hautzig. hey dollface was the first teen lesbiany book (well any) i had ever read and it's so good. and of course cat's eye by margaret atwood. cat's eye kindof ruled my universe in ninth grade and i made my school best friend, aimee, read it and we passed notes about it in government class. in middle school, i really loved ruth rendell mystery novels.

in sixth grade when i first transferred to hewitt my teachers used to confiscate my books because i would sit by myself and read at lunch in lieu of making friends. the same thing happened to my friend-to-be amanda, who transferred the same year and sometimes we would just sit together and read our books and ignore each other which i thought was bonding enough but alas no. regardless, a great friendship was born which lasted like ten years.

so basically i'm trying to keep myself awake after having stayed up all night so i'm rambling about random things to bore you with.
