I do. I will admit it has been a while though. Years in fact. I used to go to lose myself and join a fictional reality as i always needed carrying away from my own circumstances. Either absolute boredom growing up in a small Louisiana town and (at the time) parents who either ignored or criticized me daily, or an abusive boyfriend i had once who moved me far away from my only family with the promise of a new life, only to be a lazy, verbally abusive, destructive and cheating horror who i went through actual homelessness with in Colorado for a short time until i got a job and was able to leave him...(pre-kids, thank God,) or an ex-husband who kept his own children and wife poor through immaturity, bad decisions, no respect for decency (he was the epitome of sexually DEPRAVED) and finally chose crack over his family but not before i wasted almost 20 years of my life with him. My kids are the ONLY reason i don't regret ever laying eyes on that piece of shit.
Who wouldn't need a release from that?
As a kid i lived at the library. My library card was a prized possession i never left home without.
What happened to that?
I went to the library before my doctor's appointment today and saw roughly 20 other people. There was a bunch of them on a bank of computers. There were some at tables together with laptops conducting business and i think there were some kids visiting their probation officers in one of the rooms.
What i did not see, the entire time i was there, was someone reading a book. I sat down in a little alcove to read a chapter of one of the books i got, and at first felt out of place for not having a laptop in front of me.
But I was glad not to. I've said it many times before, I may be an IT tech for a living, but i could unplug for the rest of my life if that were even possible and be just fine.
Currently reading: Secret Brother by VC Andrews. I saw Flowers In The Attic and read that book years ago along with the others that followed for a while, but soon went on to other authors like Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Kim Harrison, Anne Rice, Poppy Z Brite and JR Rain.
Even though VC Andrews is dead there are some recent publications under her name i have been reading. I love twisted families who have enough money to do twisted messed up things to each other. I mean, in a nutshell that's all she really wrote about.
