So, shock surprise and more shock, I just finished the book I mentioned in a previous post, Soon I Will Be Invicible. Didn't hate it. Didn't adore it. But I liked it. It held my attention, and didn't cheat on it's surprise ending. It introduced me to some pretty stereotypical hero archetypes that were quickly given depth and therefore made more engaging. The narrative switch between hero and villian ended up being the perfect way to tell this story. In fact, my only complaint was that every chapter had some kind of awkward flashback in the middle of it. Although this helped give more understanding to the current situation and overall plot, it felt like watching a season of Lost, and by now you probably all know what that show does to my normally chipper mood. If not, than when I feel ranty again I will unleash my wrath on that once promising piece of shit, and then... oh, um, yeah, back to the book.
All in all, an enjoyable read. Not a great work of literature, but it never aspired to be one in the first place. So look at that: I finished a book.
Oh, yeah, and I JUST HIT 30 POSTS IN 30 DAYS, BITCHES!!!!!! That's right, suck my balls, I did it - in less than 30 days, by the way. Oh yeah, I'm the man, I am the little gay blogging man, so throw your arms in the air like you just don't care. I'M A WINNER!

"She's the winner, and we're going to state."
"Yeah, big surprise... and she'll probably ride Becky's ass all the way to nationals too."
"I wonder how she's gonna fix that one."
"Are you going to the parade tomorrow?"
"No. I think I'm like, due."
Congrats! I knew you could do it. Well, no I didn't, cause Mary didn't do it and she said she would. I love you, Mary! :) Anyway, kudos Michael!
I'm more impressed with you finishing a book than you blogging 30 posts in 30 days, but semantics.
Stop hating on Lost. It is one of my few joys.
