XIV : My idk Relationship with Books
When I was a young kid that was still innocent (ok, maybe not-*bricked*), I was very hyper.
I was told that I have ADHD. I couldn't stay at once place in one time, unless I'm in a library. Seriously, the library was the only place that could possibly contain me. I loved hanging around there when I'm bored; reading random books and playing with the puzzles and stuff. I (probably, can't remember) didn't care whether my friends were doing something more interesting outside, all I wanted to do is to finish my book.
My parents saw me reading books and decided,"Hey why not give her a buttload of books for her to read since she obviously seems more interested in those than in her SUPPOSEDLY PRECIOUS STUFFED TOYS AND BARBIES?" I got pretty upset when my parents starting dumping books on me (ESPECIALLY THE LARGE FAT ONES ARGH), and the statement above was probably what I thought they were thinking.
And Eventually BAM my old school's principal also saw me reading a lot and casually strode to me and (probably) said, "OH HEY Since you like reading books, why not try to make 100 BOOK REPORTS by the end of the year? Okay? Okay."
So book reading became kind of a chore for me since then. I could only enjoy a couple of books without feeling obliged to, one of them being a Greek mythology booklet that I really loved (and eventually lost. Great.).
I took a hiatus from reading books, after my cousin transferred and introduced me to Pokemon, and Japanese animation. I was having a fun time, especially being obsessed with anime and *le gasp* starting to FANGIRL about some...certain related stuff. It was certainly one of the most awesome things I ever saw, and from that day playing Pokemon and watching anime in Cartoon Network became one of the most awesome things in my whole childhood. I almost completely forgot about books, except that Greek mythology book that I never knew would change the course of my teenage mindset.
The TV was on, and we have nowhere to switch our channel to. The anime on Cartoon Network was still scheduled later and we had no anime channel. We were EXTREMELY BORED. Suddenly, a movie popped up in HBO, about GREEK MYTHOLOGY. Gasp!
I really expected it to be you know... Ancient Greece and stuff, but it turned out to be this really modern and "cool kids" version of that. I enjoyed the movie, SO MUCH. I watched almost all the reruns on HBO, I even WANTED THE SECOND MOVIE TO COME(not knowing how movies worked at that time). After watching what seemed like the tenth rerun, I saw in the corner of my eye:
IT CAME FROM A BOOK.
I was really pumped by that moment, like I was finally coming back to my old self, until I remembered those times I had to read a buttload of books. I dismissed the idea of getting it; I had no idea how to anyway, and it is probably one of those kids books anyway.
(I deeply regret what I thought.)
Coming back to my regular flow I was once again immersed in the world of anime. I was the one that introduced it to my friends, turning them into anime fans like myself, and enjoying ourselves watching anime in our free time. It was a wonderful 2013. It was probably the best year of anime, if I remember, and one of the most memorable years of my life. Then after that it all went downhill. I didn't know what to watch, if there was something good anymore. I watched enough anime to tell.
Suddenly I wanted to come back reading.
Summer 2014:I finally got to have an awesome vacation with my awesome cousins! One of them had been my bestest and closest cousin since birth. She had the same interests as me, like it always has been, unfortunately for me, she chose books over anime.
One day in vacation we decided to go to the bookstore. Browsing through it I saw that nothing except the books were open, not even the graphic novels or manga. My cousin was just reading a rather thick book, and she gave me one of her favorites to read. I was curious of what it's about. Every single day of vacation I see her search about it in her laptop, and the books... THE BOOKS...GAH
It began on October last year. I finally called a hiatus on anime. I have entered the book fandoms. I have finally read what they call "Harry Potter." I have finally read what they call "The Hobbit." I have finally read what they call "The Diary of a Wimpy Kid." I finally read the book from that movie. And...
Haha.
You thought I was getting emotional.
I need a friking life.
Oh, and that movie turned out to be DAM TERRIBLE after reading the book. Books ftw.
(It's obvious but guess what was the book hahah)
