No, you don't. I would probably do the same. Wheneven I get marker on myself, I spend the whole rest of the day rubbing at it. Even when I don't notice that's what I'm doing.

You don't seem psycho to me, especially because I'm reading Bell Jar right now. The others reading the current bookclub book would probably agree with me when I say you're far from crazy.

It does make me feel a bit better. I've never read the book though. I ordered it on InterLibrary Loan, but that was in the end of August, and I still haven't got it yet.

However, my powerbooks battery has just been recalled, apparently it can cause minor burns and property damage! Better than Sony's laptop battery that got recalled, they said "it may overheat" with the "possibility" of catching on fire. there was a (real) video online of some Japanese men in a conference room where all of a sudden someone's Sony laptop exploded, luckily no one was too close to it. If someone had been using it, there face would have been fried off. Not to mention the condition of their hands.

I know macs are so much better than PCs, but I barely ever use them and then I get really confused when I have to. The thing that probably really ticks me off is that the mouse only has one button, not 2 like I need. That's a stupid reason to not like macs, I know, because they're so compatible, but I just don't use them enough to know what I need to know when I DO use them.

My mouse has two buttons, and when i'm using my touch pad you click on whatever you need, then press ctrl and it does the same thing as the second button.

1. I am not a baby or kid person, sadly (in general i mean. Of course there have been individual kids and babies i care very deeply for) To many this would render me some strange, tragic screw-up of the female sex. 2. I am an impulsive book-dvd-cd buyer. It's dangerous and any other beings surrounding me at the time need to wear padding. 3. I'm a 1st class daydreamer. Have been since i was old enough to realise that you could escape life without anyone else noticing your absence physically 4. I'm a movie-buff, yet a sort-of hypocrite to the title as i tend to watch only specified genres. I have always had a soft-spot for my Disney and movie musicals, and i shall never feel ashamed for loving either. 5. I hate peas. REALLY hate peas. 6. After only 5 mins of watching Gilmore Girls, i am talking at an accelerated pace for at least the next 2 hours. 7. I write. It's bad, but i do it anyway. 8. I am a major chocoholic; there is no cure. 9. I'm an alto wishing to God and anyone elee who will listen that i could wake up and be a soprano. I also used to dance (tap, jazz, modern) and took drama for 13 years. I' in love with the notion of one day being on the Great White Way 10. I'm a worrier and the founding member of Apologies Anonymous (just ask Poisonpen. It's annoying, eh?)

1. I love little kids. It's sad that they have to grow up 2. I don't have any kind of boyfriend, but I'd like a wonderful one 3. I share Neh's chocolate addiction 4. I speak English, and French pretty fluently. I can read and write in Hebrew but I can't speak it! 5. I work in publishing which is nice because I get free books, but my actual job sucks becuase I don't like the people I work with- so I want to move to a different office or a different department 6. I'll be paying off my student loans untill I'm about 100 so I'm living at home for a few years to save money 7. I think TV shows on DVD are a great invention 8. I have a stuffed Curious George doll that I've had since I was a baby. I used to take it everywhere with me. 9. I've always wished I were a little taller 10. I'm really scared of fire. Like I won't even use matches.

I can't use the matches that you have to strike on the back of the box because I would burn myself. I can use match books because I can put the match on the strip and fold the cover backwards so I just pull the match out and it catches. But I hate taking things out of the oven because it's too hot and I burn myself occasionally. (I'm scared of dogs that I don't know because I don't know how they will behave)

1.I am completely and utterly obsessed with Jeeps. I blame my boyfriend; he has two and they're his babies. 2.I have to steal Jefie's #2 simply because it's so true and I'm glad I'm not alone in this: I'd much rather buy a book than a piece of clothing, so my bookshelves are full but my wardrobe is in a sad state. 3.I love frogs. I have a frog-themed bathroom. 4.I'm a sorry excuse for a cook; I once burned soup and blew up an egg. My boyfriend cooks me a week's worth of food when he visits during the weekend because he knows I wouldn't eat otherwise. 5.My 2006 New Year's Resolution was to keep track of every single book I read from January 1 to December 31. I just finished my 25th and I'm hoping to make it to at least 30 before the end of the year. 6.My boyfriend is freakishly similar to my dad, which leads me to believe Freud was perhaps correct with his oedipus (sp?) complex theory. 7.I moved out on my own after college and couldn't afford a bed, so I slept on an air mattress for 3.5 months. 8.I have a twin brother and no, we're not identical. 9.My favorite place to eat out is in a former train station where, every time I eat there, I'm afraid a train is going to derail and crash into the building. 10.I've never been on a plane and only once have I left New England.
