Books (continued)

Why don't people understand that some people, like me, like to read?  I don't have to go out and party all the time to have fun.  I am perfectly happy sitting at home with a cup of tea and a novel.  That's why I became an English major.  Ever since I was in 2nd grade I would pass on the opportunity (sometimes) to do something with friends so I could stay at home on a Saturday and read a book. When I was in second grade it was to read Goosebumps books. I do things with friends, but I don't have to surround myself with people all the time. I am not dependent on social interaction for my happiness. And I like to read. I enjoy spending time by myself and reading a book, and that's not going to change. Ever.

I spent over an hour in my Film professor's office yesterday discussing everything from film to literature to life to relationships, and we got onto the topic of birth signs (Aquarius and what have you). I guess that is one of my professor's hobbies, and he said that an Aquarius, which is what I am, is her own person and that she'll do what she damn well pleases, and most of the time, what she damn well pleases is something others might not understand. I think that's fairly applicable here.
