I also love to read, and have read the complete Lord of the Rings trilogy at least ten times, as well as seeing the movies at least that many times too. (Fantasy geek I know.)
Among my other favorite Fantasy book series would be the Wheel of time series by Robert Jordan. I also have all Terry Goodkind's in the Sword of Truth series. And of course I wouldn't be complete without the Harry Potter series, or more recently, the Time Quintet by Madeleine L'Engle.
I relish books that happen to be over 600 pages long, though on occasion do not mind reading a shorter book if it catches my fancy.
Many young people today are not able to get through classic literature. I personally LOVE it. Charles Dickens is one of my all time favorite writers; I love his wit. I also love Jane Austen, Steven Crane and Fyodor Dostoevsky.
I am very patient and stick with things much longer than most people. However, I am a rather quiet cancer person who has some rat in her sign to kick the cancer/rabbit into high gear and go out on a limb for some daring. (Albeit small) Oh, about my patience, sometimes I have absolutely none when it comes to adults that seem silly to me or otherwise lack comprehension of (what seems to me)incredibly basic things. I try to be patient though and not bite their heads off, but I suppose I don't always do a very good job of it and that is one of my weakest traits. I never get impatient with kids though, because I don't expect them to know better. I don't immediately like or warm up to most people I don't know, and I really dislike nosy questions from said people as well. In my mind, if I like you well enough, you won't have to pry me for answers because I'll give them freely. But I'm very particular about whom I befriend, and I suppose if you are my friend, there must be something special about you, because I don't like most people. That is to say, I am mostly indifferent unless you give me reason to like or dislike you in some way. And yet, as it has been with some people that never got the hint and stopped prying that I eventually gave in and stopped being so secretive because they obviously liked me and made me like them with their interest.
Another thing I have a certain knack for would be remembering things. Whether it be choreography, useless information, numbers or the meanings of new words in any language.
I'm a rather internal person, and those who know me and perhaps would be patient enough to read all this jargen would say, "I never thought of you as being that gabby a person!" (I was once told by a teacher that I needed to go in my room and learn how to yell, that perhaps I would improve my dancing that way if I learned to dance loud. Otherwise I might as well forget about having an audition anywhere, because I would simply blend into the wall, (Granted, I do have pale skin, but I'm not an albino!) and the only way I could be noticed is to get a big sign and red bow that says, "PICK ME!!....please?") Granted, she did have a point, and it's really not until you stop taking it so literally and apply it as useful information (whether it was meant to be or not) that you improve, particularly and most satisfactorily when it wasn't constructive to begin with but you manage to turn it around and make it so.
If there is something I want badly enough, I will get it, but I have to want it very badly to be motivated, and then I won't stop trying until I accomplish what I set out to do. This hasn't happened very often, but that doesn't mean it won't in the near future. I'm always keeping my eyes and ears open.
I have thus far read all of this rambling back to myself, and find myself giggling in amusement(sometimes) at my own silly words. For one, I am in a way making "fun" of this "blog" business. And have written this long string of words in such a way, as I'm not even using my own voice to write, beacause I can't speak very well in person for the life of me...the world is too distracting and my mind draws a blank so I end up saying very little, if I say anything at all. I suppose if you imagine me speaking the words aloud, it might sound a bit more like me, at least it would to me. I am not such a bookworm as to not realize my reality and continue speaking in the language of the written word, but I do have a sense of humor that I have been unable to find in anyone except perhaps my sister who shares it exactly.
Do I sound stuck on myself? As I write all this jargon, I realize I may actually be sounding rather pompous!!! (As before mentioned, my sense of humor is lacking in most other people's tastes, but I for one absolutely know my sister will be cracking up by now.)
I don't mean to be pompous, but sometimes I am. Sorry. Maybe that's why I like Ben from LOST? He's a Rabbit too, and we share a lot of freaky similarities, but unlike him, I don't kill people or have a strange obsession with my unrequited love, though everything else is pretty close, lol! Thankfully, no one beats me up either. I love Willie from Dark Shadows too, because he's another side of me I suppose, and I feel sorry for him being prisoner to that mean Barnabas Collins.Anyway, enough babbling. Hopefully my 'update' isn't too redundant or unintentionally negative. Ha ha!
