well i finally went to the library today
took a look at what they have by agatha christie
...don't have the book goldentruth talked about recently :(
not even at the other branches, i checked.
the books, besides "and then there were none" were all parts of her detective series
so... yeah whatever, maybe when i get to a bookstore again i'll buy it.
also looked at stephen king's books
DUNNO WHY I'M INTERESTED. HONESTLY.
those books are part of a childhood fear ;;
mom was in love with his books lol ._.
particularly pet semetary
...which they had and i kept glaring at it ;;;;;
we lived way up north for a year when i was 5
and uh my room was upstairs
riiight at the top of the stairs was mom's bookcase
i was always scared of going up alone... just because of those books?!
i like animals so pet semetary stood out to me. :/
then one time mom and dad watched the movie of IT
when i was still awake???
not cool
i remember clearly hiding in the kitchen, staring at the flickering clock light on the microwave and desperately ignoring all noises. :|
so, yeah, i've kinda... hated stephen king. for years and years.

but now i have a taste for the creepy. THANKS HIGURASHI UGH GOSH
and he's a well known name for horror books.

...personally, i was hoping they had "carrie" since that's interested me, if only because that's my name in pronunciation, though not spelling.
didn't have that. checked computer, it's at another branch... checked out. way back in january?? jeez

ended up getting a book of short stories. figured that's the best way to start getting into such books...


and now to talk about more cheery things~
last night i gave up on trying to think of a good idea to sprite for the vdex custom event
i posted one of my old sprites i made a few years back.

say hi to my Vaporizard~ \o/

On the note of Stephen King books, my grandmother had a big thing for them. Her whole house was full of them. I wasn't so much afraid of the books themselves, as I was afraid of the nightmares I could get if one of them was left open, and my curiousity got the best of me. Because I would let that happen. XD;

Now, Higurashi has done the same to me as it has done to you, and I would really like to read at least one of them.

Well, I was like 5. The books just... represented all that terrified me, to my 5-year-old brain.

So even the books just sitting in a bookshelf scared me. :/

As was I. I think the last time I was anywhere near that house was when I was seven or eight. I knew they were pretty scary, but as I said, I was more afraid of somehow knowing the content in detail.

I can see why you were scared of just them being there. They can be pretty menacing when it comes to really young children.

Hahaha I love Stephen King but yeah I can understand how his books can frighten young children. Oh love the Vaporizard!

OH, I MEANT TO SAY THIS EARLIER BUT SOMEHOW I COMPLETELY FORGOT WHEN I READ YOUR POST

BUT if you want a creepyish manga, read manhole. it's not GROSS, like it has no nail-ripping like Higurashi does or any gory death at all, but it's still rather gross and disturbing.

cool, i'll check it out.
