You know what I hate about blogging? There's so much you can't say. This is what I will say...
I am in limbo in life right now...overcoming an entirely too long past of addictions that I thought were normal up until now. The three main vices...had a problem with them all. And no one was there to tell me to quit. Now I'm 24 years old and finally finding out for myself that I need to, and hoping it doesn't hold me back from the rest of my life.
Have I ever expressed how much this world of organizations (of all kinds) and corporate greed ticks me off on a day-to-day basis? Maybe once or twice.
I work for a company in which you get places by schmoozing and having the right things to say and being in the right place at the right time. This means I am completely and utterly STUCK. And it's funny because I am a social person, and I do get along with pretty much everyone. But I've never learned how to be selfish. Why didn't anyone tell me growing up that it was the bad traits- dishonesty, impatience, greed; that I needed to get where I wanted to go? But it's mainly because I am not in the right place. Clicking, it's about being comfortable, and the drama that goes on in my area is one for the books, so it's very difficult to feel adequate, especially when you're a newbie.
Actually let me rephrase that: a female newbie.
On another note, I just finished (finally) Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and loved it. It's been a long time since I've read a mystery that I liked this much, guess this means I'll have to invest my precious time in reading the next two books. There is already a film, in subtitles, which I have debated watching, but am afraid it will ruin the book. Probably not as much as the American version undoubtedly will, although the casting is interesting.
Lisbeth Salander has definitely become one of my new fictional role models...if only I could be a mysterious genius like her. Maybe one day...
