Ramblings of an Immature Brat

Ugh, some poeple....

Just as soon as I got back someone wanted to borrow my printer to print a few coloured pages for her TITAS project. I didn't even unpacked yet. HELLO, there's a computer lab where you can actually print stuff there. Yeah yeah, I know they don't offer coloured pages, but you can make those pie charts in black and white. Ugh, so unimaginative *rolls eyes*. Just because I'm the only one in the block that has a printer doesn't mean you can abuse that priviledge.... *sigh* I feel like leaving that darn printer back at the BU house...

[Heck, she even asked me for the printer last Friday. I told her I left the wires at home... I thought she was smart enough to actually move her ass to the computer lab then. Mana tau on Sunday suddenly she comes knocking on my door. And guess what, she has to pass it up tomorrow D:]


Yes, I know I'm selfish. But the ink cartridges for that printer are expensive.... for me that is. Plus I'm a cheapo D: AND WE WEREN'T EVEN CLOSE. If you're a roommate or a close friend, I wouldn't mind printing for free D:

Someone please teach me how to refuse without telling them I'm a selfish bitch?

Diana Wynne Jones!

OMGOMGOMG she wrote 2 new books in the past two years
And I haven't got my hands on them yet! D:

Firstly, The Game. I saw it at MPH the other day...
But thought I'd get my a hands first on The Though Guide to Fantasyland.
And the second volume of the Chrestomanci series
[which contains The Magicians of Caprona and Witch Week]

I'll get The Game by this week.
I MUST as a fan of Diana Wynne Jones!
The other new book was just recently published this year.
It's called House of Many Ways.
I'm guessing the paperback version to come out in a few months time.
It's part of the Castle series xD
And has Howl and Sophie in it from Howl's Moving Castle.
Not forgetting Calcifer and Morgan.

If you haven't read any of her books yet.
I recommend you to start RIGHT AWAY!
But be warned!
You might never come out of her tangle of books.
[I know I never did since my friend introduced it to me when I was in Secondary two :B]

You can start with A Tale of Time City [a personal favourite]
Or Howl's Moving Castle
Or The Merlin Conspiracy.
Heck, read any of her books.
It's guaranteed satisfaction *wink*
