Hey. I'm back. Not that anyone missed me. Exam week, you see. Blah.
My friend Olga broke her leg and thus can't go anywhere till the end of July. She has bought tickets for Placebo next week. I just want to say, life sucks.
I'm broke and if I want to go abroad this summer, I'm gonna have to work. In my favourite bookstore.
Hey, I got invited to a party this Saturday. It's the second one I've been invited to since I was thirteen. Hoorayy. I have to beg my sister to come along though, or I'll be talking to the wall for the whole night. She was invited too. Probably before me.

"Special topics in calamity physics" and other books
@ 2007-06-02 – 18:09:10
I’ve heard that the characters and the plot in a book can only be as smart as the writer. If that is true, Marissa Pessl must be one extremely smart lady. If you haven’t read “Special topics in calamity physics”, buy it now. I couldn’t put it down. It was more than suspense that kept me up all night reading. It was the fact that the characters seemed so interesting and new and familiar at the same time. And after reading the last page I still couldn’t be absolutely certain of what had happened. The reader is actually left to choose what to believe.
The story is about Blue, a seventeen-year-old girl who witnesses her teacher and friend hanging from an electrical cord in an apparent suicide. Only Blue has reasons to suspect foul play. As she tries to figure out what happened, the reader starts to wonder just how sane the heroine really is. With what I now consider as one of my favourite endings, this is a book I recommend to anyone in my age group or older.I wish there were more books like this one.
I’m reading “The Shadow of the Wind” now. When I finish it I’ll tell you if I liked it.Also, I would like to recommend the following books to anyone who hasn’t had a chance to read them yet:
The little prince by Antoine de Saint…Something
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Pride and prejudice by Jane Austen*
Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre
Twilight by Stephanie Meyer*
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo*If you’re not a girl you may not like these.
If someone has read any of these (some of them are pretty basic, so I expect you have), please tell me what you thought. And feel free to point out whatever book you think should be in my List of Catchy Books Everyone Should Read.

My friends (0)

It's just depressing. "This user has no friends yet" it says. No kidding. It only annoys me because it's true. Let me tell you about my last best friend.
We went to school together for a while, so that's where we met. She was the new girl and didn't know anyone, and I guess I looked friendly, because she started hanging out with me. Long story short, we ended up being best friends. We would go to the cinema together, recommend books to each other, watch "Prisonbreak" and "CSI" at each other's place. Boring stuff we both liked to do.
Like the depressed individual I am, I sometimes expressed my concerns about the meaning of life and death. I mean, that's what you're supposed to do with your best friend, isn't it? Share everything? During the last year, with the pressure of the upcoming exams piling up, I got bluer and bluer. So what does she decide to do?
Around Christmas, she says she wants to tell me her BIG secret. I say spill it. She says when she was about ten a friend of her (a girl friend, that is) mollested her. And that she now thought she might be bysexual (my friend, I mean. Not the other girl). I say, ok. Who cares? I'm open minded. I cried at the end of "Brokeback Mountain". And we're still good.
A month after that, she starts telling me she's in love with someone smarter than her, with a really beautiful name, and a girl. When I try harder for her to tell me her name, I get stonewalled. I say fine. And keep talking about my crush on a guy with an IQ of 147 and a girlfriend.
A couple of weeks after that, she comes by my house, crying, saying she's in love with me. Please don't judge me, but I felt sick. I sent her a message the next day to tell her that I didn't want to be her friend anymore. She came by a week later to talk to me.
She said that I might not believe her, but she had been lying. She was not bysexual. She was not in love with me. She said: "Don't take me wrong, but even if I were "by", I would fall for someone prettier".
I asked her why she lied. She said it was driving her crazy to see me so desperate and so close to a melt down. She said she wanted to give me a reason to refrain from hanging myself from the ceiling (I so wouldnt do that-I have prescription pills). The only thing she could think of(she said) was to pretend she was so in love with me, she would kill herself in case I commited suicide.
Haven't seen her since.
So, maybe having zero friends isn't as bad as having one psychotic one. -

I don't know who really gives a damn, but I'm decorating my new place and just bought two beige coutches (have I spelled it right? don't think so). I'm gonna have to keep my old dining-room table, though, seeing as I'm no billionaire. It's an ugly old thing. It's brown wood and it's boring.
Hey, decorating tips may help.
Anyway, gotta go. May be back later(who cares?).
See ya.
