welcome
No one ever followed his genius til it misled him. Though the result were bodily weakness, yet perhaps no one can say
that the consequences were to be regretted, for these were a life in conformity to higher principles. If the day and night are such
that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry,
more immortal,--that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The
greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them.
They are the highest reality....the true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints
of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.
--Henry David Thoreau

profile
There are two words to describe me: 'atheistic' and 'cynical'.
Anything else, you'll have to find out by yourself.
Don't like it, sue me.
And that's the awful truth.

Why is it I always seem to be short of money?
And why is it there are always so many good books to buy? Every time I go to Borders, there is just so much I want to buy, and so much I can't afford.
1. Wally Lamb's new hardcover book = $35 2. Stephen King's new hardcover book = $35 3. Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers guide series = $17 each Selected Classics (Jack London, H.G. Wells, etc.) = $17-$20 each W. H. Auden Poems = $50
Right now, I have about $26 , excluding the really thoughtful present that Cleo gave me (a Borders gift card worth $11), I save $17 a week, so next week I shall have $43. I shall borrow $50 from my mom, thus bringing grand total to $104. This means I will be able to afford 3-4 books, depending on the price. I HAVE to get Wally Lamb's book, so with a little give and take, I should be able to maximize my spending money. Still, I'll be in debt for a long time. Probably a month.
Chinese New Year couldn't come any sooner. I need that $180!
If anyone wants to donate to my book fund, I just want to let them know it would be greatly appreciated.
