I would like to send to the Shire the fact that Headache Week (the week before Finals Week) lasts only for a week.

See? You can rant while remaining positive!

Actually, I think Headache 'Week' (or Hell Week as some call it) lasts a fortnight.

*sigh* There's always a critic.

A beautiful queen who wakes you up in the middle of the night and makes you smile.

Tall trees with thick foliage.

Free manga--so even though I miss episodes due to class, I still know the story.

LEGO.

Frees.

The 2-hour commute home--it allows me to gather thoughts and actually try to finish my writing.

Squatter and Rimbaud's exchange in Tolkien's Letters.

Hugs--even hugs from giant spiders are nice.

A day when you have nothing to do and you can simply curl up in a chair and read a good book.

Alcarillo · 10-01-2005, 02:49 PM

A day when you can stay in pajamas till 1 in the afternoon.

Moleskine notebooks.

Bookstores and libraries, especially the big ones that cover city blocks and have their own parking garages.

Playing my clarinet with the window open and a slight breeze coming through.

And traveling by ferry.

A cozy little room with an endless library of books and CD's. And of course, The hobbit hole Cafe (http://www.stp.uh.edu/vol61/951013/7a.html) located just around the corner

Oh, and of course, Maple Street Bookstore (www.maplestreetbookshop.com/) It's a great store where the people there know you and care about you. It's divided into a children's bookstore and a regular bookstore. It's a great place where people grow up and remember it. It's filled with great books, at fairly good prices. If I'm going to buy an important book that's on the bestsellers, I'm going to buy it there! Plus, their motto (which is also a free bumper sticker they give away) is 'Fight the Stupids!'

Not my car, but the only one I could find with the bumper sticker

'I care', and 'Fight teh Stupids' next to a 'W' bumper sticker. Ironic?

A beautiful queen who will not tell you off.

People who can forgive you for your procrastinating. (There's quite a lot of 'em in the Downs.

)

The fact that Headache Week is over.

Yeah, but now Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Week* begins.

Well, yeah, but that too shall pass.
