i did it. it's finished. i'm done.
i've finished reading harry potter and the deadly hallows. and i must admit, i'm going to miss harry, ron and hermione. i laughed. i cried. it was great. and i closed the book with a sigh and with satisfaction. books are odd specimens. we rush to complete them only to lament their finality. i feel that way about knitting sometimes, i knit-knit-knit til something is done, then when it's complete it feels anti-climatic. at least with knit-goods i get to wear it, but with books we place them on bookshelves like trophies we've collected.
as i'm enjoying escapism via books, i quickly rushed off to indigo for the next book on my list. i thought something light-hearted was in order after the intensity of the potter series, but i ended up getting something potentially dark. however, i've heard it's good so i'll trust the judgment of it's suggesters.
yesterday i had a flash of inspiration and rearranged the furniture in my bedroom. my desk is now facing the window. i think i'll buy a plant as it'll be a great sunny spot. facing the window makes for interesting viewing, i just saw a kid bike up the street with no seat on his bicycle. this new arrangement makes my room seem more spacious. funny that.
i feel like i've just woken from a long nap or broken out of a trance.
don't question why she needs to be so free,
she'll tell you its the only way to be.

i get that way sometimes when i finish a book. i get so lost in the book that it's like i'm asleep and dreaming. i don't know if that's what you meant, but i choose to interpret it that way. :)
i don't know if i was referring to anything in particular, but i have a sneaking suspicion it's book related.
Are you going to tell us what the new book is or leave us in suspense? :)
hm, i listed it on facebook. i don't want to be repetitive.
sorry, i hadn't seen that spot in your facebook. i didn't realize you were cross-referencing :)
not to worry. sometimes i create rules for myself. i'm weird.
