NEW READING THREAD
I crossed the open yard and scaled the face of the house in half a second. Dangling from the eave above the window by one hand, I looked through the glass, and my breath stopped.
It was her room. I could see her in the one small bed, her covers on the floor and her sheets twisted around her legs. As I watched, she twitched restlessly and threw one arm over her head. She did not sleep soundly, at least not this night. Did she sense the danger near her?

I was repulsed by myself as I watched her toss again. How was I any better than some sick peeping tom? I wasn't any better. I was much, much worse.

I tried the window, and it was not locked, though it stuck due to long disuse. I slid it slowly aside, cringing at each faint groan of the metal frame. I would have to find some oil for next time...

hahaha

oh man

    He's pretty strong if he can hang from the eaves like that and still open a window silently.

    So, I had a dose of Nyquil last night and I started writing a book in my head during all of my weird, hallucinatory dreams. It became a bestseller for it's literary quality and social commentary; I ended up touring the globe and living the dream. The only thing I can remember of the text from the book is a reference to pegging and it's impact on the new sexual revolution.

    I spend too much time talking to you people.

    Donnie Darko was a good movie. It is one of those things that a fan base can ruin if you listen to them too much.

    But I hated how a majority of the way to understand the story is outside the movie in a separate larger spanning story. That is bullshit.

    i saw part of that with my friend a few months ago and it was damn good

    i didn't see any jennifer connelly parts, which is probably for the best, since it's impolite to start beating off in front of friends

    Donnie lives

    this is not the way things should be

    He goes back in time and dies after doing all kinds of things because he can see the paths people will take (the tentacle things)
