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!
