"mountains of spices" ( because a friend is borrowing the first), i decided to read "the catcher in the rye." it's a book that's been suggested to me by several friends... i'm glad to finally read it. i like the holden kid. he talked about how he starts to talk corny when he's around corny people. isn't it the truth? do you ever do that? not in a deceitful way like you're trying to hide who you are... but when you're talking to someone you don't like or you think is stuck up you'll just kind of go along with them? there are too many ackley's and stradlater's in the world. who thought i would read on christmas break? this is my 3rd book in 4 days. i don't read. i think it's the whole concept of not having to read for a class... but for me." i think it's funny that 6.5 years later i just had a very similar conversation along these lines with arisa and ethan at work. i was saying how i still get nervous around certain people and all my insecurities come out and i just start having word vomit... and things are coming out of my mouth and i have no control over it and i am just... so... awkward. and a lot of times it's with people i KNOW. that bring out stuff in me that i didn't think was there anymore. but then i talk to them, and it's like i revert back to the way i was years ago. i hate that. but i'm working on it. confidence stephanie, confidence. (i also like that the main person suggesting "the catcher in the rye"was none other than charlie loup :)) |
