Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun

As I sit here barely breathing and trying to decipher what the fuck I am doing with this ridiculously awful ad, I just sit and stare at the computer. Images of perfumes and watches on sale flood my screen. I sit and I stare and then I stop. I stop staring and I get lost in thought, what the hell am I doing? What is this? How did I end up here? Do I want to stay here? Is this it? These people that I talk to on a daily basis, how well do I know them? How well do they know me? Can they hear my struggling to breathe? Can they see that I am lost? All these things in my head, I get lost in thought.

Somehow, I drown myself out and start to get lost in something else. I get lost in the music—and this, my friends, is the best kind of lost. The music always saves me. No matter where I am in my life, who I am with or what is happening around (or to) me, the music always comes to my rescue. I know that I can listen to Shine On You Crazy Diamond and for 13 minutes I am comfortable. It’s an odd feeling that I honestly find quite hard to describe, but it’s along the lines of  peaceful; it’s clear it’s … it’s okay. For those 13 minutes I am perfectly sane and okay. If life still sucks or I still have a head full of thoughts or worries at the end of those 13 minutes, guess what? I just hit ‘play’ again and I’m sane for another 13.

I wish I could explain how my mind works, but I can’t.

Socks, Count Chocula cereal, pads, Gansitos (Mexican equivalent of little Debbie treats, Google them), Vitamin C (a little late, I know), Real Simple Magazine and Orange juice. This all makes perfect sense in my head.

Also, I ran into my ex and his new girlfriend at Target while I did my crazy woman shopping and of course look/feel like crap. Life is awesome.

Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms  in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right  hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are  all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the  elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that  matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of  time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only  way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to  explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today. — Lawrence M. Krauss

Heh. Made me giggle.

More than 5,000 of you nominated. More than 60,000 of you voted.  And now the results are in. The winners of NPR’s Top 100  Science-Fiction and Fantasy survey are an intriguing mix of classic and  contemporary titles. Over on NPR’s pop culture blog, Monkey See, you can find one fan’s thoughts on how the list shaped up, get our experts’ take, and have the chance to share your own.
A quick word about what’s here, and what’s not: Our panel of experts reviewed hundreds of the most popular nominations and tossed out those  that didn’t fit the survey’s criteria  (after — we assure you — much passionate, thoughtful, gleefully nerdy discussion). You’ll notice  there are no young adult or horror books on this list, but sit tight,  dear reader, we’re saving those genres for summers yet to come.
So, at last, here are your favorite science-fiction and fantasy novels. (And a printable version, to take with you to the bookstore.)

I’ve read 11 of the top 20 books and 23 of the 100 books listed on here. Seeing this list makes me want to revisit them all over again, but I guess I should use my time to read the ones I have not read, right? Or maybe I should start the ones I have sitting on my ‘to read’ pile from a little over a year ago.
So many books, so little time.
