Ah crap...

I know. I am terrible when it comes to schedules and I may have fogotten to post in the past couple of days, but to show my commitment to this whole thing and prove I'm not a failure, see all that text right there in Red? Including this lot? Well the reason it is red is because I am currently writing it. On my iPod. While on the toilet. That's right people. Blogging from the bog. That's serious commitment if I ever heard it...

Okay I'm back to my computer; and I get greeted by the new Coldplay album. No fucking way, I like my life. Skip please. Ahaha. MGMT. Much better.

I actually have something to talk about today - shock horror. It's this little thing called bookcrossing.
It's not as crap as it sounds, so let me explain. So your sitting down on the train. You spot a book just laying in the seat opposite you. Has a "Free Book!" post-it stuck to it. So you pick it up and start reading. Inside the front cover you see something like this...

What does that mean? Well you've just picked up a book left behind by someone else for the sole purpose of you finding it. Bookcrossing is a community of people all over the world that leave books behind with these little stickers, and a little personal message in them. Just so they can share them, and see how to travel; And oh boy do some of them travel. One book is documentated at moving from 384 different locations all over Europe. I know one of mine is in Canada -probably because I sent it there- but that's beside the point. The goal is that you give an awesome book that you really enjoyed to another person for them to enjoy, and this way you can track where it goes, and who's life it has entered.

Granted not everyone bothers going online and registering that they found the book, but that only takes away half of the fun. You still know they're reading it.
My favourite author is Raymond E. Feist. I read one of his books whem I was about 13, and I liked it so much that I set out on a quest to get as many people interested in him as possible. In school I managed to get about 10 people reading him, and being just as obsessed with him as me, just because I loaned them a book. That was just with an audience of a few people. Now my audience has just opened up to the rest of the world and I intend to keep going.

I have a shed load of books, I could probably start my own library, and I have put aside a pile of about 25 beside me that I have read again, and again, and again and now I intend to send them off. I get the train everyday to Uni, so I'll leave some there. I walk through the busiest Hospital in the country to get to class. I'll leave some there. And I go to the biggest university in the country. I'll leave some there.
Some people out there are about to get the best gift of thier lives soon.
