it's the way he seems to stare right through my eyes

imagine having a library like that. actually just imagine being in a library like that.
oh and this is probably the first photo from the new camera that i'm showing you guys. although i am tearing my hair out and cannot begin to comprehend why sometimes numbers just keep flashing at me and why the camera refuses to take photos i am still having a lot of fun with it. too much fun, really, because it's a major distraction when i should probably be revising really hard for my placement test.
anyway to take that picture i accidentally made a new crease in the spine of the book. ):< don't know if i've told anyone else before (i know i told my sister though) but i really like my books to be nicely kept. it doesn't have to be completely pristine but i really don't like books with random creases down the spine or folded corners. that said, however, if it has to be old and well-read i'd rather it be extremely so. just not somewhere in the middle. okay i know i'm weird that way. stop thinking i'm weird i already know i am.
i hope this post works out to be a long one. yes, this is my attempt to prove that my brain is not yet completely twitterified and i can still think thoughts that are more than 140 characters long. actually, does anyone else find it difficult to encapsulate everything into 140 characters? i frequently find myself going over the limit and having to go back and type everything in short form or rephrasing everything altogether. and then it doesn't even feel like something i would type any more.
i'm not sure when i started typing in full sentences without abbreviations and all and with (dare i say it) decent grammar even for things like text messages and stuff online. but i think it's a good thing. at least it stops my language ability from degenerating any further, i suppose. although i guess it's probably not very good for people receiving my texts because they routinely end up several pages long. speaking of which, does anyone else find obscenely short messages annoying? this is not directed at anyone in particular, by the way. i don't think i have friends like this it's usually just people from school. anyway i just find really short texts very frustrating. it's like talking to someone who doesn't want to talk and just grunts in reply. especially people with iphones and blackberries. you know how the text message screen is styled like a chat window so in addition to obscenely short messages they send you several at one go. so for people like me still using ancient nokia phones i'll be halfway through typing my essay to you and i get 3 more messages.
okay i don't know why this is shaping out to be a post full of complaints but i didn't mean for it to be! anyway i realise i never really plan my posts at all. i usually have just a few things i want to talk about but then they're usually very disparate stuff so i end up with very disjointed posts that ramble on about nothing in particular. like this one that started with a library and that has ended up in complaints.
but it's not all bad i'm actually very happy these few days. (:
alright cliffhanger ending where i don't tell you why i'm happy.
