True Confessions, Part II.

When I’m at the library (or the grocery store, or the drugstore, or any other place that requires me to carry things), I always carry my books with my left hand. I’m right-handed, and have notoriously weak arms; my left arm is especially weak. Every little bit counts, right?

Frequently, when faced with a classic book, I choose the fluffy one instead.

I carry around my journal all the time, but rarely write in it. I need to get back in the habit.

When I come home from seeing a Harry Potter movie for the first time, I cry a little because the movies are such pale imitations of the books. 

I can never remember whether to use ‘affect’ or ‘effect’ and have to say the sentence out loud before I can figure it out.

When I read my old journal entires, I am so embarrassed by my 13-year-old self that I wriggle around in embarrassment. 

I’m pretty sure Louise Rennison’s Georgia Nicholson series are the funniest books I’ve ever read. At least, 1-3. 

Many of my poetry drafts end with “NOOO IT’S ALL WRONGGGGGGGGGGGG”.

I hate Jane Austen. 

I’ve never been able to get through a book of Leonard Cohen’s poetry. It always ends in me throwing the book at the wall. 

I am still waiting for my Hogwarts letter.
