I can never think of anything to write about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been rereading East of Eden again. It is my favorite book. And each time I read it, something new comes out at me and makes me think even more on this beloved book of mine. To me, and Steinbeck, life is just a battle between good and evil. Scary to think about if that is all you think about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reading is the only thing that keeps me sane at this point in my life. I can get away from everything and everyone- friends, guys, school, and family. Sometimes I wonder if that will get worse with age, or if I will learn to deal with people face to face, not inside my head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My list of favorite books is getting longer and longer, and my library is growing, which I love of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is your favorite book and why?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7646524425223097868-3052319173713013527?l=bloomertimes2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bloomertimes2.blogspot.com/feeds/3052319173713013527/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7646524425223097868&amp;postID=3052319173713013527&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7646524425223097868/posts/default/3052319173713013527'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7646524425223097868/posts/default/3052319173713013527'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bloomertimes2.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-is-harder-than-i-thought.html' title='Books, Books, Books'/><author><name>Bloomer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12154145993549310429</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646524425223097868.post-1304561214257106889</id><published>2008-12-14T12:03:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-14T12:13:56.725-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Present and Future</title><content type='html'>This is the first post of my personal blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I have nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is much harder then I thought, so if I babble, sorry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My 5th semester of college just ended, and I will admit, it was the worst yet. Being an adult is much harder then I ever thought, and I just keep hearing "I told you so.." over and over. But still, I have to agree with the "I told you so's.." because they were right....ew never thought I would say that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So with the thought of school and life in general, it makes me realize that I still have no idea what I am going to do after college.......&lt;br /&gt;-Go to Grad School&lt;br /&gt;-Get married and have babies (eh)&lt;br /&gt;-Travel the world living out of a backpack&lt;br /&gt;-Sit on a couch and eat potato chips&lt;br /&gt;-Work as a waitress at a diner in New York&lt;br /&gt;-Buy a bookstore, close the doors, and never leave&lt;br /&gt;-Move to a beach and learn to surf&lt;br /&gt;-Go to Vegas and become a Showgirl&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I am asking myself, and the very few people who will ever see this blog, what should I do...or shouldn't.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7646524425223097868-1304561214257106889?l=bloomertimes2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bloomertimes2.blogspot.com/feeds/1304561214257106889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7646524425223097868&amp;postID=1304561214257106889&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7646524425223097868/posts/default/1304561214257106889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7646524425223097868/posts/default/1304561214257106889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bloomertimes2.blogspot.com/2008/12/present-and-future.html' title='Present and Future'/><author><name>Bloomer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12154145993549310429</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
