House of Leaves

So, the book House of Leaves was recommended to me by quite a few people. It's not necessarily an easy read. It is sort of difficult because of the layout. There are different fonts and sentences going diagonally or backwards across the page. I must say though Danielewski is a fucking genius. I cant even begin to explain how intelligent and enlightening he can be. This book is a combination of horror, surrealism, and love. It was fantastic.

Birthday time

So, yesterday was my birthday. It was a pretty fun and relaxing day.. I woke up to my parents pretty much shoving gifts in my face. That's not something to wake up to everyday. It was nice. No drama from my parents for once. Aside from a relaxing birthday it was also eventful too. Two parties and two family get togethers.

.. I always feel slightly awkward at parties (even if I know everyone there)
Anxiety issues I suppose.

One thing I am pretty excited about- I am probably going to receive a ton of Polaroid film from my Grandparents on Sunday. I don't know what it is about Polaroids, I just love them. Also, I talked my dad into giving me his old film camera from the 60's or 70's. We'll see if it works.
