I started and finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower last night because I was feeling infinite. My parents were out for a late night swim on a warm night so I had thw house to myself. I was just sitting there on the floor of the living room listening to my radio and reading this book. Usually I stay up at night because I don't want to wake up early and make my day longer. But last night I stayed up all night because of the reason stated above and it felt so refreshing. I even heard a new song by a band called Starting Line and absolutely loved it.
The thing is last time I read Wallflower I didn't like it much because I couldn't quite understand it. But when I read it this time, I understand it fully and hated it. It's not that I didn't disagree with it; it was about this boy who is alot like me in many ways. I guess I shouldn't say that exactly; it's just that the author really makes you feel like the boy is like you and it really cuts you up. Now that I look back on it I can't pinpoint exactly why I hated it. I guess it's because since I thought I was alot like Charlie I didn't want to change like he did at the end. I didn't like the change. I dunno. It was strange.
After I finished reading it I watched Barney Miller and The Bob Newhart Show before I got this really, really strong urge to watch It's a Wonderful Life like I used to. So I did until 4:30, by which I went to bed for fear of the wrath of my parents.
My aunt called my mom because she's taking a college writing exam tomorrow. I didn't even know she was in college.
I told my mom about possibly maybe not really moving in with Kat next year, the first person I've ever told about it including Kat. I didn't tell her though that Kat lives in the Bronx. Still my mom's depressed since both my sisters already live far away and now I want to, too. I'm sorry.
