		<description>Ah. Just finished updating my goodreads lists after getting back from Hastings!

First thing today, i went to the Post Office to mail some letters, had them weighed just in case as usual, and got mehself a page of those new prettiful lighthouse stamps. &amp;lt;3&amp;#039;s hee.

After that, went to Hastings to pick up mehz books that came in~ i was told only 4 came in, but after a look at my account on the computer, it appeared that EVERYTHING was in! haha. Well, one novel was a copy of the one i already found earlier (at Hastings. Kathy didn&amp;#039;t see it right away so she went ahead and ordered it just in case). And i&amp;#039;m missing the 1st vol. of the 1-800-WHERE-R-U series by Meg Cabot. I&amp;#039;ll be calling later, and also have to check up on a novel i THINK but am NOT SURE that i ordered. i think it&amp;#039;ll come in later, but i want to be sure.

Put two more novels on special order from Hasting: Gemma Doyle series vols. 1+2, The Great and Terrible Beauty and Rebel Angels.

I just recently counted the novels i bought TODAY and the novels i bought LAST WEEK (they&amp;#039;re on the table next to the computer desk. haha laziness), and came to  a startling 21 novels. In two fecking weeks. WTH. I&amp;#039;ve NEVER bought that many in a month, nonetheless only 2 weeks! @w@; Of course there was this one time with the stimulus check from Obama and i ended up with over 23 novels that month, but that was only a one-time deal. and i PLANNED to do that. this time, i just started buying and ordering on a whim and ended up with 21. rofl. Must be my lucky number-- i&amp;#039;m turning 21 on August 7th. xD;

Mom said to me earlier that i must have some sort of book fetish, and asked (sarcastically, of course) is i orgasm from smelling the pages or get off on them, and i buy more because i keep messing them up. ROFL. oh yeah bby. 

So as usual, &amp;#039;ze lists:

&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 160%;&quot;&gt;Bought Last Week:&lt;!--size--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;

		<description>i haven&apos;t watched anime/read manga since mid December last year (2008). yet i still gave my aunt a list of manga i&apos;d like for her to get from BookOff and Kinokuniya in NYC. i will not watch anime, ever again. i thought i wasn&apos;t going to read manga, ever again. will i read the manga my aunt sends me? i&apos;m not sure. i probably will, since i still like it. i probably will because i miss it, somewhat.

i don&apos;t listen to japanese music anymore!! omgwtfbbq! though, i keep getting the feeling i want to listen to Abingdon Boys School again. i won&apos;t, though. ever. i&apos;m done! done with that phase. i may have a few relapses with manga, but reading is different than my need for certain kinds of music. i breath pages of literature. i&apos;ll take it in any form i can get my hands on. if that means i read manga every now and then, then so be it. but i&apos;ll eventually fully move out of that phase as well.

i still have 25+ novels to read. but i haven&apos;t been in the reading mode in about two months now. sickeningly, i still buy books i&apos;d like to read whenever i see them at wal-mart. i haven&apos;t been to Hastings (my usual book supplier) in a long time. i really miss my beginning-of-the-month book splurges. i really really do. ;  -  ;! BUT-T!

i will be remodeling my room next month!(july!) new furniture yeeeeeeeey~ i&apos;ll be getting help from my stepfather, Robert, if the total goes above my $800. i&apos;ll be paying him back, of course. if anything i&apos;m good at paying what i owe. *nodnod* it&apos;ll have to start in September, though...

August is the month of birthdays! @w@;
mom=-6th
mine=7th
robert=13th
aunt margie=28th

and my usual $100 goes toward the DSL/phone bill. then i have $300 to split between mom and robert, and get my aunt a birthday card n&apos; maybe a little som&apos;n random. idk. perfume or something. i can&apos;t afford what she usually wants to get--her husband is the one that buys it for her those times. haha.
 for mom, robert agreed to split the cost of a silver chain necklace and a nice large turquoise pendant--make it a gift from the both of us. that way, we&apos;d be killing two birds with one stone: i don&apos;t have enough money on my own, robert doesn&apos;t know what to get her--and mom won&apos;t freak over the price if it was a joint project type thing. 

for robert, i was planning on looking around for fingerless gloves that heat up (or something similar to that).  since he doesn&apos;t celebrate his birthday, i told him ahead of time as a warning. he whined for a bit before agreeing that it would be perfect for his arthritic hands. keeping his hands warm is imperative when in a very air-conditioned room. *nodnod* it&apos;ll be a sort-of thank you gift for the help he&apos;ll be giving me with the lending of money for my room.

for me from mom: a DVD player that reads both standard and BluRay media.
for me from robert: a few charms for my nearly-bare charm bracelet (i told him to surprise me, but to make SURE to get the little turtle charm).
for me from my aunt: a new 120Gb iPod (wootwoot!)

&lt;strong&gt;Mood:&lt;/strong&gt; one, two, three. uhh..testing please. testing onetwothree.
&lt;strong&gt;Music:&lt;/strong&gt; David Cook - Bar-Ba-Sol
