I asked for Catch 22 for my birthday (which was 2 days ago), and I got it.
So I am now reading it.

I’m currently on page 54.
I usually read faster, but I can’t read too much of this book at once because…
I dunno.
I just get tired.
It’s a tiring book.
Good, but tiring.

also, I started reading “My Sister’s Keeper – Jodi Picoult” after starting. Which I don’t reccomend doing. (Reading one book in the middle of reading another book that is, not reading My Sister’s Keeper. I do reccomend reading my sister’s keeper. I really liked it. (not that I actually finished it, because I lost it halfway through reading it. >__< I really don’t recommend doing that either.)) It was just because I was reading Catch 22 so slowly and I really wanted to read My Sister’s Keeper soon.

But yeah.

Catch 22 is really not what I expected it to be.

First of all I expected the main character (Yossarian, but I didn’t actually know that at the time.) to be crazy to begin with. I thought he’d start of sane, and become crazy. But he seems to be crazy to begin with.
Which I’m kinda glad of. It makes it a lot less heavy.
...but maybe he becomes more crazy….

I also didn’t expect so many other people to be crazy. Seriously, It seems like literally everyone Yossarian sees is insane too. I guess it seems like this largely because Yossarian assumes everyone but him is crazy. But even so, a lot of people still seem to be pretty crazy.

Was it really like that?

Is that what war does to people?

I mean, I always knew it did that to some people, but I never thought that so many people go completely insane, (except I don’t know, maybe the book’s exaggerating?)

But even though Yossarian does often seem crazy, at times, at least to me, it seems like there are glimmers of sane-ness where he acts like a normal person.
I really like Sane-Yossarian.

But I dunno. Maybe it’s just me seeing the sane side.

But yeah,

So far, great book.

....’kay so not an incredible amount of effort.

But and incredibly amount of overcoming nerves. Actually, The only reason I went along with it to begin with is because my mum promised me I could redecorate the bathroom however I wanted, if I did (it’s gonna be orange. I don’t care what anyone says. I will have an orange bathroom.)

And yeah, It wasn’t live, and I had a script. But it was still scary for me. (especially seeing as I hate my voice SO much.)

Actually it was just for a radio advert.
Because the BBC (It was springwatch. Bill Oddie came and everything. XD) came to my area to plant some plants and give us some beetles and shit.

So I just had to talk about it. It was on BBC london 94.9….

I got to go to the station, which was pretty cool. I saw the BBC news studio, and almost walked up there when they were filming.
If anyone saw a disembodied finger float around on the backround of the news recently…. that was me. XD

so yeah….

P.S: You know, one of mt ‘things’ should be to stop ending every single entry with ‘so yeah….’ XD.
