Into the unknown

I think my icon perfectly sums up my mood at the moment.

The Friends of the Library had their annual book sale this weekend. Today, from 4 to 6 p.m., they had the $5.00 bag sale. I dragged [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] there, since we were already hanging out. xD I got a ton of books, including a cookbook and some ~romance~ novels. Overall, I was quite pleased.

[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and I were there for more than one reason, however. We've decided to... read Twilight. I, for one, am curious to see what the big deal is about, and if they do actually suck as much as people say they do.

The book sale didn't have any copies, so we got two copies of the first book from the library. We've already made it through the first two chapters, and right now I want to punch Bella in the face. She reminds me so much of a Mary Sue: all of the boys love her, everyone wants to talk to her and be her friend, and she's way too stuck up about how smart she is. She is also too whiny, and the dialogue in these first two chapters is so bad. Hopefully we can make it through the first book. xD

Work has been busy; school has been "meh." I need to start thinking about applying to CSU, even though there are so many things I need to do at Front Range first.


On the dating front- I've gone out on at least four (I think) coffee dates since I started doing the LoveBug thing. That's four more dates than I've had in the past year and a half. Too bad I haven't liked any of the guys I've been matched with. No chemistry whatsoever, and some of them have been jerks. Hopefully someone will come along that I'll actually feel something with.

On the plus side, I've lost a little over 18 pounds since the beginning of September.

Today was a pretty fun day! :D

I helped [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] out at her work~ Old Town was having its sidewalk sale today, so LotP recruited me to sit outside with a bunch of sale stuff and try to entice people into coming and looking in the store. I don't know how good sales were today, but I had a lot of fun talking to people and all that. xD In fact, I'm going to try applying at LotP for Halloween; it'll be a good way to make some extra money and get more job experience and all that.

BUT. Here's the confusing part. I was sitting in the shade of the building almost all day. When the sun finally was able to reach my spot (at around 5-ish), it was covered by clouds a lot of the time; and LotP closes at 6 so it's not like I was out in the sun a lot. Yet, I'm still badly sunburned on my nose, chest and arms. xD I'm quite annoyed at that. It looks like I'll be borrowing [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]'s aloe vera once she gets home.
