Random Anxiety from books

I feel very anxious right now, and for a second I couldn't figure out for the life of me why. Well, once I started typing, I realized it was because I was reading Fearless by Francine Pascal, and I skipped ahead to book 27 (because it was book 3 and 27 in one...wha-), and it sucked. I'm not saying the story sucked and I didn't like the story, it was that I was really sad to hear Gaia's life sucked so bad now. Like, even worse. I dunno, I was just really hoping Gaia and Ed would be together, but I guess not.

Wow, I ended up reading the entire wiki on the series, and while it's interesting, I don't think I'd be able to deal with having it end, and the outcome. That's just the way I am with some books and stuff. I think I'll ask my mom to not bother getting me books from the series anymore. I'm kind of sad to give up the series, but I know I'm just avoiding future dissonance. I wish my friends would realize the impact books and stories will have on me. After I read Candor, by Pam Bachorz, the ending left me depressed, anxious, and stressed for days as I harped over it all, and how I wish it ended differently. Actually, Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer did that to me too. I ended up wishing there was a different ending, etc. You know, the whole "Oh I could have written this better" complex you might get after reading a book you feel passionate about.

I smell pretzels. Also, my pants are vibrating. I got a text message about call collecting or something. Also, I need to charge my phone.

This is why I'm actually afraid of good books. Now, don't get me wrong. I like good books. That's why I call them good. The problem is when they're so good, I start obsessing over them, wishing I was a character in the book, wishing it ended differently, yelling at characters in the book for not making decisions I would... It's especially horrible when I lose sense or lose my grip on reality, and it takes awhile for me to grasp where I am in the universe--my niche, my place in life, and just simple things like that. The good books have such addicting stories, they're just not quite healthy for me. It's like an addiction, and all these crazy things. Good books are horrible. But they're so good! They're addicting D;

All in all, avoid good books :P
