So…I’m probably the worst person to be around if I’m reading. Normally, I’m either really bitchy sarcastic or just silent. But when I’m reading…when I’m reading I seem to forgot that I’m an actual human being. You want me to act civilized? You’re lucky if I’ll set down the book for a minute to listen to what your saying.
What? A fire? A cute guy? Food? I’M SORRY, BUT CAN’T YOU SEE I’M IN THE MIDDLE OF IMPORTANT SOMETHING!?
The characters are running away from a bad guy/having a serious conversation/acting adorable/kissing. That’s what’s really important. Obviously.
While reading a book, I also have a habit to forget how to form actual words. I will make half laughing/screeching noises, whale noises, squees, extensive cusses, and many “I knew it”s. For the sake of this post, cusses and “I knew it” don’t count as actual words, even though they do.
Thankfully, my sister’s learned to ignore me by now or else I’d be in a lot of trouble. If something awkward or awesome happens, I’ll jump, dance, run up and down the stairs, cackle like a maniac, or all of the above. My family probably thinks I’m insane, but whatever.
Because I’m talking about books, guys. BOOKS.
Yeah, so I probably shouldn’t read in a library. Ever.
I do exactly the same thing!! At a particularly exciting place I sometimes just have to get up, jump up and down , and squeal.
