  If they start playing The Ring on HBO, I will die. Seeing a decomposing girl or hearing the hair-raising score when I channel surf... it will really mess with me.
I've been reading Fahrenheit 451 today. I'm terribly proud because I am almost finished. Though I was planning on tackling The Great Gatsby over break, but 451 is very good. Next I might move on to Clockwork Orange or something by Chuck Palahniuk. I'm planning on becoming a hoity-toity elitist intellectual reader for the New Year.
Ha. In the New Year, there will be some things that I want to change, I guess. It’s so convenient to resolve to change because I have a new calendar (Actually, it’s a lovely Audrey Hepburn calendar. My Mom saw it at Boo Radleys and, quite rightfully, knew I would love it. ) I have turned over all sorts of resolutions in my head. Floss more? Drink less pop? Be more diligent in my homework production? I have, I think, come up with a good one. I am going to take more chances . Currently, I am the play it safe girl, and I am so over that whole shtick. This resolution lends itself to all other sorts of self-improvements. It will make me more honest, more decisive, less whiny and boring.
Ultimately, it may just make me happier. That, or maybe I’ll drop the resolution mid-January. But at least I will have given it a try. Affectionately… Anna
