Computers, televisions and game consoles rot your brains.

Supposedly I'm known for being a bookworm.

Wiggle wiggle.

However, if I somehow do not seem like one, I beg to differ. For you have been strongly misled by my enthralling wit and charm. Now, prepare for the shock of the century.

I just spent RM 600 on books at the book fair.
*please insert jaw-dropping moment here*

What an irresponsible act! Reckless! How absolutely, positively audacious! How on earth did I spend such a ludicrous amount of money on mere books?! How distressing. I could have spent all that money on *gasp* clothes, shoes and manicures!

Now, see here. Books have proven to be a valuable asset over the centuries before the cries of, "BEHOLD! THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA!" erupted all over the world when computers were invented. Just so you know, these books are going to last me until AFTER the SPM.

God bless the day when we can finally free ourselves from the dreadful jaws and claws of public examinations. Amen.

But that's not the point of this whole post. The point is books are good for the soul. Especially when you're bored and/or depressed.

For as long as I have known, books have always been one of my escapes from reality, other than music of course. Problems that I've encountered in the past have merely added to my already voracious appetite for literary works that have been forever immortalized in pages and pages of crisp, white paper.

Despite all that, my command in the English language hasn't improved very much since my Lower-Secondary days. This can be clearly noted in my Literature homework. Atrocious. Utterly unacceptable! Now, that just depresses me considerably. That's not what's supposed to happen to someone who is capable of devouring book after book after book. But then again, I just have to blame the television, computer and the PS2 for ruining my relationship with books.

Dear children. Stay away from computers and game consoles especially, because once you start, you're never going to stop.
Also, don't drink and drive. Oh yes. And don't do drugs. Practice safe sex. Don't self-harm.
Oh poopie. Just don't be stupid. Now I'm being stupid.Gah.

Anyhow, I have lots of books now and I'm a happy camper. I also used "and" in the beginning of sentence. Someone fix my grammar for me? I also didn't plan on writing an entire essay on this.....
