About
I'm an artist. Small girl, big dreams.I'm also currently a college student, and always, always broke. gonk I like the simpler things in life; ice cream, sleeping in, apples, and coffee with a thousand sugar cubes.
I'm an avid movie-watcher and book-reader. My latest obsession has been House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski. Do you have a favorite book or movie? Recommend me one. cool
*Note: My visits to Gaia are very sporadic, so I apologize if I reply to your comment or friend request really late. Real life has many demands. T__T

And aww, thank you. I miss him, but Moxie (my bunny mount) has helped move past the loss! heart
Yeah, I definitely know that feeling. I haven't been reading much fiction lately, mostly because of school, my cat getting sick, and then me getting sick, and what energy I have left I end up putting into my own writing.
It's the first book in a trilogy based on the mythology of King Arthur and set in post-Roman Britain. Normally I'm not very interested in Arthurian novels, but I was intrigued by the setting and have really enjoyed it so far. It's often intense, and Cornwell essentially throws you right into the story. He handles the historical aspect well (there's not a lot of expospeak, huzzah) I'm only halfway through, alas, but I'm eager to finish it and move onto the rest of the books.
I was actually looking for "House of Leaves" at my library last time I went! Turns out they don't have a single copy, which I find really odd, considering that it was a bestseller and receives a lot of praise. I'm eager to read it, so I suppose when I finish "The Winter King" I'll either find someone to borrow it from or actually cough up the cash for my own copy.
(Oh my, that does sound ominous; like the Grim Reaper has gone high-tech. At least all the boring Verizon captchas I get don't sound vaguely threatening. xD)
