Defeat?

I'm removing the words supposed to and should be from my vocabulary. (Feels like defeat).

There only exists what is and what will be and what can be.

Nostalgia

I'm currently caught in a whirlwind of nostalgia for college. For the days that to many people, end up being the best of their lives. It's only been about 11 months since school ended, but it already seems so distant, fading into the past.

I think it's a lot easier to deal with the end of something if you have solid rock to stand on with regards to the future. But when the future is uncertain, and the past is ebbing away - like today - you tend to feel a little lost. If nothing else, I am a girl who likes the ground under her feet. If only so that I can leap off it towards the unknown.

Everything aside, what I would love tonight would be my old friends back together, the beach, good music and incredible food.

Oh, nostalgia. 

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked this book.

Having grown up reading, Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl and Harry Potter - this book was sort of a tongue-in-cheek tribute to all three without really trying to be.

I can't remember the last time I read a book that was so light-hearted without being trite.

However, since the last time I read books seriously was in American lit centered school, this book felt a little foreign. Not in a bad way, but just, like something amusing, but not quite familiar. Like a funny exchange student I'd love to get to know. Of course, the very considerate authors helped me out with their frequent footnotes for "Americans and other city-dweller/heathens/etc."

I wouldn't quite call this the sort of book to take with you on a beach vacation, but rather, the sort of book you can carry around with you through life knowing that in it's pages is a sort of continuous private joke only you, the reader, are privileged enough to be a part of.

Hehe.
