Petey's Piece of the World |

I am a mix of Bridget and Carl So, Here's what's up. I just finished reading a book and immediately picked up a new one and am 40 pages in. The thing is... books are too influential over me. When I read them I become the character in them. More-so than any movie or television show or even video games. I see, smell, taste, touch and even think what the person is thinking. It's weird. Yesterday, I read a part in the book I finished, right after the main character was tricked into wiping out an entire species and then I had to stop reading for class or something. But I found that I hated myself... because he, the main character, hated himself for killing. I was literally mad at the entire human race for being so selfish and hating. All night, I was extra cynical... I couldn't help it. The book was good though. I finished it today.I started reading "the perks of being a wallflower", which has been suggested to me by many people. The book is the letters of a 15 year-old kid. he talks about his experiences in high school and stuff. I really enjoy it. Sometimes, I'm afraid when I read a book like this that the things I read will become memories that I think are mine. I will forget that I read it in a book somewhere and tell it as if i have experienced it: even though I haven't. I also enjoy certain writing styles and try to imitate them. I'm usually not that good. But even the voice in my head is different depending how I'm feeling, what I'm reading, who is around. I don't mean like voices telling me what to do. But sometimes I think about what I'm going to say to you. What I'm going to write. so, in my head I speak it. and there is a voice that goes along with it. I am quite weird, I know. But I thought I share that with you. There is so much more I planned on writing, but I forgot what it was. I've been thinking about how I was going to lay out my thoughts for the last 15 minutes, but I don't think I wrote what I thought I was going to write. oh well, That's the human mind for you. utter craziness. --- "Bridget who is crazy said that sometimes she thought about suicide when commercials come on during TV. She was sincere and this puzzled the guidance counselors. Carl who is nice to everyone said that he felt very sad, but could never kill himself because it is a sin." -Charlie "the perks of being a wallflower"-
