Usually, I love night, because usually, being alone is kind of comforting. I'm probably a ridiculously strange person for that, but whatever. That's me.

But tonight (almost 3 am, so it's not really night) is one of those times when I hate night, because everyone's asleep when I want to talk and being alone sucks instead of being comforting.

So I'm posting on LJ.

Actually, I considered sneaking into my sister's room and sleeping on her trundle bed (yes, she has a trundle bed, and I, Laura Ingalls Wilder freak that I am, am insanely jealous), but it was too dark to read and I can't sleep without reading. I spent a couple of minutes in there anyway, just because I really did want to talk and that was about as close as I was going to get. I stopped short of waking her up. Maybe I'll talk to her tomorrow.

Anyway, with this pointless post out of the way, I think I'll go read. With luck, I can finish this book and start on The Scarlet Letter (for summer reading) tomorrow.

I know what you mean. I hate going to bed anymore because nighttime is very awesome. But since I've been stuck home sick lately it's just sort of depressing. :(

Trundle beds! Now I want to do a Laura Ingalls Wilder reread. I never finished the Rose books, now that I think of it...

I never finished the Rose books, either. I read Little House in the Ozarks, I know, and Little House on Rocky Ridge, but I don't think I ever got to the one where she moves to San Francisco.

The Laura books, though, I read them all about a thousand times. (My copy of The Long Winter is missing its cover. That one was always my favorite, although I'm not sure why.)

Oy, The Scarlet Letter? I must warn you, it's not an easy read, in case you haven't noticed already. It's all in 1600's English, so you have to mentally translated every "thou" and "thee". On the other hand, for me at least, once I decided to focus on what the book was about, I actually somewhat enjoyed it. And the unintentional slash references are love. (You'll know what I mean when you get into it.)

I've developed a pretty good mental translator, so that shouldn't be too big of a problem. The problem is that the introduction is 46 pages long. I like reading introductions, out of courtesy, but...no. That's extravagant.

:[ you know you can call me any time you really need to. i just feel bad cause i was out of town.

Actually, I probably would have called you except your cell phone is broken. (And I don't even have the number anyway. Oh well.) I should have called Kirsten, but my phone was in Holly's room, which was dark, which is not exactly helpful when one is looking for small black objects.

Come home soon. Seriously. I need someone to squee with over all the developments on House.
