I think I have a book fetish. I didn't think it was too bad but I realized that the last like 3-4 times that I went (or even just a place that sells books - like Costco), I've walked out with at least 2-3 books. -_- And what's worse, is I haven't yet to read a majority of them. I don't know what it is. I'm interested so I pick it up but then I don't get around to it and buy more books. I don't have any space really for those books anymore and I've still to finish a good 6 volumes (I'm in the middle of all of them 'cept I don't think I'll ever get around to some of them - like I'm 1/3 of the way through the sound and the fury. I just don't think it's going to happen).
Hm. I must say though, there is a certain amount of allure to these books and for some reason, they seem more valuable here since there's a smaller range of books I can buy and they're usually ridiculously overpriced...
Meh. I guess I'll just stop buying books until I finish the ones that I have (except I have to buy Steig Larsson's newest book. Apparently it's coming into Korea next week. :D :D :D) he he he
So it goes, so it goes.

Fashion
So I decided to take the plunge.
I only feel myself getting older and I hate that phrase "youth is wasted on the young". I may be young but I'm not going to waste it (and honestly, comparatively, I could be considered "old"). Meh.
At any rate, I decided to explore, not care if I look like crap and overall try to take care of my appearance somewhat and find my "image". I honestly used to be somewhat wary of doing this because I felt like I would become superficial. The "Omg, where did you get that like lipstick? It's so like y'know, cute! I was like looking for that exact shade. And omigosh, I went to the mall yesterday...." (and so on) but perhaps I just need to make sure to keep true to myself and I think I'll be fine. I don't want to brand myself with one particular style simply because I feel like a multitude of styles should define someone but I still want to match or at least be aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Hm.
I figured Korea was the best place to experiment because there's such a wide range of fashion here and even if I don't match, I'll just be one of the many people here that clash like crazy. *shrug* so it goes.
