I wrote this on the flight home last night...
I have to go pee. The battery on my ipod died and I have to go pee. My ears hurt from my headphones and I have to go pee. I'm on an airplane and I have to go pee. I don't particularly enjoy getting up and going to the lavatory on a moving aircraft. It's not fun. I happen to be one of those types of people who can't fall asleep on airplanes, not that I could even if I were normal because the yackety-yacker ladies in the row behind me are yacking it up like a crescendo; their imitatingly analytical voices getting louder and louder with every forced analysis of a book they've read on their Kindles. Oh brother. Apparently moms are reading Harry Potter and Twilight these days. Of course this is of no importance to me with at least one hour left on the flight to Oakland and the torturous inability to render myself unconscious. Four tests in school tomorrow, but all I want to do is cuddle up in my jammies, lay on the couch, and read poetry with a white chocolate mocha in hand. And maybe a capuccino pie like the one I had last night. Yummy. I wrote down a list of random facts about me (a desperate attempt to make myself sleepy) and 75% of them had to do with food. Coincidence? I think not. I still have to go pee.

And....NOW!
Hello there!
I came up with the idea of having my own blog on a 4-hour flight home from vacation last night. If you don't like it blame my ipod battery's short life-span, and boredom. I have a feeling you're going to enjoy this, though. hehe Wow. The "hehes" are comin' out and it's not even the fourth sentence! I LOVE that phrase, just so you know and you'll be reading that quite often if you're brave enough to continue reading. Now I sound like Lemony Snicket! Oh dear. *sigh*
I might as well start with the meaning behind the oh-so-amazingly-fantastical title of this collection of writings. "Bookmarks and Doggie-Ears" Well the bookmarks part, that's easy. And if I have to explain the "Doggie-Ears" part then that most likely means you're a "clean reader" as I like to call it. :) When you fold down the top corner of a page in a book in a triangular-like shape/form in order to keep your place, that is what we clever human beings call doggie-eared pages, or just doggie-ears. Normal people probably say just "dog-ears", but we all know that "doggie" is significantly more silly, and therefore, necessary in my writing and every day speech! hehe There comes another one! Don't say I didn't warn you. Anyway, as I was musing over my stylistic choices as a prolific writer in today's society (cue the satire), I noticed that I have a lot of bookmarks in my room. I mean, A LOT! And I'm not a hoarder or one of those strange people that collects random objects out of sheer boredom, so the only other explanation for this fact is that I need more than one bookmark because I never always finish a book before moving on to the next. In fact, I hardly ever finish a book all the way through in one time frame. I flit and frolic from one story to the next, sometimes "pausing" in the middle of one book and proceeding to start another book that catches my eye. And when I say "pause" I mean I don't come back to it until the library circulation emails flood my inbox with urgency telling me I need to return it or die! Well, it's possible.
So I hope to entertain you with, and inform you of, my crazy relationship with literature/the world encompassing it. Forget about boyfriends and beaus, I've got books. :)
Let the blogging and random ranting commence....NOW!
