narcissistic pleasure

I want this so much I can taste it.
And because I want this SO MUCH, I'm so afraid if it falls through.

It's been a long time since I bothered to fight, bothered to act, for something that I want.
It's refreshing.

Not sure why exactly, but I'm finding it increasingly hard to get through a Dan Brown book in one sitting. It's been two days since I started The Lost Symbol (yes I know I'm damn lag; I'm still catching up on all the books that I've bought over the past 2.5years but never got the time to read) and I'm not even halfway through. And I'm the kind who usually can't put down a book until I finish the whole thing (yes I don't sleep for two days straight with each potter book). It's been... what, four? five? years since my last Dan Brown novel, and I used to just let the words wash through me and the story bring me along. But now? I find myself stopping at almost every other chapter, just to google about a certain topic and read up to see if it made sense in the context of the story. The intention theory. Noetic science. The Zohar. The Apotheosis of Washington. And then I end up reading about THAT particular topic and it's another hour before I get back to the book at hand. More cynical? Maybe. I think it's cos I'm so free now that I've taken interest in everything, every single mundane thing. I feel like reading, and reading, and reading, anything I can get my hands on. For now, I need to continuously remind myself that it's a work of fiction.

Also, I really don't get the bieber fever. Was watching Diary (bieber edition) on MTV the other day, and I couldn't help the goosebumps that popped when I watched all those kids, teens, adults, parents, aunties, ahmas crying over him omggg. On another note, his songs make excellent gym workout companions. Everytime I hear 'baby baby baby ohhhhh', it makes me paddle the stationary bike that much harder cos it pisses me off and I just want him to shut up.
