not good.

I finally finished reading 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close' after weeks of starting it. I don't know why it took me so long, there was never enough time to properly sit down and read it, I'd spend 10 minutes on it before going to bed, just enough time before my eyelids fail me. But the book is highly enjoyable and intriguing, Jonathan Safran Foer's writing is impeccable as always and by the end I was left immensely satisfied. If I had to choose though I'd still pick 'Everything is Illuminated' just because the way it was written was like nothing I'd ever come across. Eitherway, both books are definitely worth the time and money so thats my recommendation of the month/year.

On the issue of boys:
Is it too much of an assumption that boys will like any girl that they know are into them?
Boy finds out girl likes him and after a week, boy magically likes girl as well.
I find that happening alot.

On the issue of Instant Messaging (IM):
- It changes people into someone completely different. A=general population. 'person A' and 'person A on IM' are not alike at all. 'person A' is normal, but 'person A on IM' says the word 'huhu' and 'hehe' constantly, in a way that I've never seen them use in real life before. And I do it as well. Fancy words to compensate for lack of physical expressions and it never quite works. And I know its trivial but its weird and confusing.
-People who I can chat for hours with on IM, I can't hold a steady conversation with in real life.
-I don't chat well with close friends. I fail completely.

so there. I feel this to be my most uninteresting post but I'll put it up anyway, I can't be bothered.
