I’ve been terrible with keeping up with my blog. And I’ve been even worse keeping up with other people’s blogs. If I haven’t visited you in a while, I’m sorry. I haven’t abandoned you, I’m just super lazy.
Lately I’ve just been working and enjoying my summer. There’s nothing major going on with me. I’ve been reading a lot. My summer reading goal/list goes as follows:
-Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (done)
-Bossypants by Tina Fey (done)
-Middlemarch by George Eliot
-The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
-A Room With A View by E.M. Forster
-This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald
-The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
I just realized that I have two Oscar Wilde’s in there. Oops. I tried my best to mix time periods and to read both male and female authors. I’m excited to embark on Middlemarch soon. It’s a monster of a novel.
I’ve also been writing! Not very well. But it’s the first idea I’ve had in a long while. Most likely it will end up being a short story– I don’t think I have the capacity to write a full book. I’ve written about 5 pages so far, which is the longest I’ve made a story in a while (maybe ever?). I kind of want to post what I have, but it’s really not very good yet. The moment I’m finished, I promise to post it here.
Sorry for being a lazy slob. Part of the reason I haven’t been around is that my laptop charger is broken. So I haven’t been on the computer much. I’ve been stealing my mom’s charger in short bursts, but it doesn’t quite fit my laptop and never gives me a full charge. Whatever! I’m making excuses for my laze.
I will be back soon, all of you! I look forward to catching up with your blogs once my laptop actually has power.

I can relate. I have not been keeping up either and I don’t have as impressive a list as that. Actually, I have no list at all. Perhaps I should get a list. It is a rather good idea. You have some good books on there. Mine would not be so fine….perhaps a bit too self analytical. At least you have a list…I have NO list and am lazy. That is like ….well….lazy ass lazy. Thanks for the subliminal shove to be less lazy!! Can’t wait to read the story.
Hey, thanks for commenting! I was sure that no one would care about this post haha.
You should definitely make a list! The summer months make me so lazy. I think I would just lay around in bed all day if I didn’t have lists.
However, freedom and spontaneity are just as important as structure, so I try not to take list-making too far.
Thanks again for coming by!
