Well I don't know what else I'm feeling, but as soon as I figure out how to put myself into words, I shall write something on here.

Mind games
I think mind games are quite fun.
It started with "My train runs". Then I learned "Johnny Whoop", "Snaps", "Around the World", and this other one I THINK I figured out (I'll call it "A puppy can go through the door, but a dog can't").
They sure make you think outside the box. You just can't think too hard into these games or you won't get it. It took me EXACTLY 1 day to figure out "My train runs". Hahaha.

Wicked
Almost a month ago, I bought Wicked by Gregory Maguire. It took me a while to read it and I finally finished it last night. Not that it was boring, it was a little bit hard to get into at first but I found it got better as I got more into the story. The reason why it took me such a long time to finish was because I was busy with a whole bunch of stuff and I couldn't read it consistently as I would've liked to.
Anyways, the book basically tells the life story of the Wicked Witch of the West, her real name - Elphaba. I definitely have new insight of this so-called wicked witch because Maguire takes a different take from the Wizard of Oz movie. Her life story to me was quite sad. Apart from the preconceived notion that she was a completely bad person, there were actually some good aspects of her character. She pretty much had a downfall...hmm you'd have to read it to see. I'd give the book probably a 3.5 or a 4 out of 5 stars.
Now onto The Kite Runner :)
