Chocolate Haters Unite!

...Just for the record, I wouldn't be one of the uniters. I mean, yeah, in general I dislike chocolate. But it's okay in very small amounts. Or covered in peanut butter and/or caramel.

The first meeting of the anime club was yesterday.
It went well... All things considering. XD
Wee~ell, half the people didn't show up.
And a lot of them were because of miscommunication. xD
So the only people at this first meeting (where we decide on what we do/when to hold meetings!) the only people that came were me and Plushie (duh, we're the co-presidents/head peoples), and then Fetus and Melissa.
But like I said, it went very well! They all seemed to like the idea of the anime con coming up this June. ;D
Then Plush's mum dropped Fetus and I off at the corner gas station (he lives a few miles back, and I just wanted to walk because it was a niiice day), and he said he'd walk me home (even though I told him that it was not necessary... Why do guys always insist on walking me home?), but I enjoyed talking to him. :DD

And then Shae might be coming to youth group with me tonight~.
Hm, I think that's about it.

Wrap Your Name in Lace and Leather.

Last week (Tuesday?) Plushie and I went on a walk. I was bored, looking at some amazing pictures on Flickr, and decided that I wanted to have a 'photo shoot'. So I took my camera and my dog and met P-chan in the park. It was so much fun. I took a bunch of pictures of him doing strange stuff on the cannons, and at the elementary school's playground, too (that's actually where I took my blog's header).
Then yesterday we went out, too, but my camera's battery was dead, so the only pictures I took were on my Holga. (sigh) But it was a lot of fun, too! We went to the big hill, crunched pinecones ("nature's bubble wrap"), then hung out at the playground again. =D Okay, maybe not so much "hanging out" as "playing." Which is even better!!! (Then we sat on my porch and talked for three hours. XD)

Tuesday (?) pictures:

Waiting.

Because I'm just a rebel that way.


It looks so cool... But it was really a "I'mma screw up your picture!!!" sort of thing.


*dials phone* *listens for a few minutes, then hangs up angrily* "Well, that's rude!" "What?" "A lady was talking to me, saying something about inserting thirty-five cents, then just hung up on me!!!"


Sloth.


This is one of the cannons, btw.


"I don't think I can fit under here... Hey, I did it!" Later: "Crap, I don't think I can get out."




He stayed in this position for, what, thirty seconds?


I, however, fell down just as soon as I got up.


I used to play on this thing when I was in Kindergarten. (sighs)




Just... Sitting there.


"Courtney, I can't get down!"




The actual playground part of the school. The new one.




We just kinda... Tied her there. Then ran off to play. >.>;


That wavy thing is so cool.


Not this wavy thing, though. I don't get this one.


I do not understand.


XDD He fell.


Plushie.


Me.

And, of course, that awesome picture Plushie took of me.


Heheheh. Stupid elementary students.
I need to remember to take some white paint out there. I want to change 'Crips' to 'Chips'.

Reading Quirks

I just read this very interesting post by Megan Reid (guest blogger on Justine Labalestier's blog).

It got me thinking of reading quirks.
Megan Reid listed her quirks as:

1. "When I get really into books I tend to forget to breathe, and then make embarrassing dying goldfish-ish gasping noises every few minutes.
2. In my head, every protagonist has brown or red hair. I don’t know why, but they do. And it’s probably problematic, but that is a story for another post.
3. I don’t read last pages first."

I spent some time in the comments, and people really do have some interesting quirks! There's reading any time, any where, talking to the book, reading while laying down, complete silence, reading the last 100 pages or so (the "final stretch") all at once... So many quirks! And they're all so interesting! If you have the time, I recommend you stop by the post comments.

What about me?
Let's see...

1. I tend to read each page number when I turn to that page. I have no idea why, don't ask me. I've been doing it since I was ten. (^^;)
2. I say each word in my head as I read. I didn't even realize that this is why I'm such a slow reader until I read a comment on Megan's post, where somebody said they did this. I know no other way of reading! Honestly, I didn't even realize people read without reading every word.
3. I never read the last page. Apparently I'm in the minority? I never realized that, either. >.>; I used to read the very last word, when I was a lot younger, but I've learned that it isn't always the best idea. (laugh)
4. I read at least a little bit every night. Even if it's only a few words, I have to read before bed!
5. This probably isn't a quirk, but I love to curl up when I read. Reading at school is uncomfortable (even though I continue to do it) because of the desks. (I do, however, sit backwards on the bus in the afternoon and curl up that way.)

So what about the rest of you, my dear readers? What reading quirks do you have?*

*Hint, hint. Post a comment. Maybe a discussion will start up!
