You heard me, this sucks!

I want something to DO!!! I have nothing to read, no way to get anything. I can’t get to the library, don’t WANT to rererererereread any of the books I have, as I’ve rererereread them so many fucking times!

This SUCKS!  
☹

You want something to read? If you don’t mind reading an entire book off the computer screen, there’s plenty of books you can read off the 'net:

It’s not so much nothing to DO, per se, but nothing to READ.  
I did get Triumph of the Straight Dope last night, but I’m about finished with it-I read fast. Every couple weeks I have to go to the library, or I go insane. I’m a reader-I read while I’m on the net (my computer is so fucking slow), while waiting for class to begin, while getting ready for school, eating, etc.  
I need something to READ.

Thanks for the link-I’ll have to check it out!
