"...Okay, I've got my four dollars, so I can pay off my fines and get some movies. BOO-YAH! 3 days, though? Really, three days to return a movie? Ridiculous. Whatever.
Oh God, it's raining. Oh well, looks like I'm gonna be here awhile. What should I do? Do I need any books? I'm sure I could find someth... NO! Logan, NO! You're going outside and being with people next month. Plus, you've still got like five hundred pages in that psychology book; and Watchmen'll probably take you another day or two at least.
...On the other hand, I do have a block break coming up; I'm sure I could knock out a couple of novels then. I could, I don't know, stay up late for a couple nights, get caught up.
Hmm. No. I'm just gonna find a magazine or something... SHOOT! No Sports Illustrated. What, am I supposed to read Scientific American or something? Everybody knows its publishers are popularizers. Lulz, plus, I mean, I'm not a NERD or anthing like that! Haha, nerds. Nerds. Neeeerds. Nerds.
Alright, what's good? Vogue? Ha, yeah. Psychology Today? Pedantic! What am I gonna read, then? Okay. I've got it! Mad Magazine. There's an old stand-by for ya! I'm just gonna set my stuff down by this chair, sit down, and read for a while... "

"...God, I feel so unclean. I'm actually stupider for reading that; it's like watching Conan O'Briend without all that "comedy" to get in the way. Okay. I'm ready to look for some books now. Hmm. Do I really want to check anything out?
>Drools
You know, I really haven't checked out any horse-sword-fantasy books lately; I think Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series is calling my name. I've only read, what, the first four thousand pages of that series? That's the great thing about those books; it'll take me FOREVER to actually complete it.
...Do do do da dododadoodoo, do do do da dododadoodoo, do do do da dododadoodoo, do do do da dododadoodoo... can't stop addicted to the shindig, somethin' someth', says I'm gonna win big... god, I always hear that intro and think of a kayak sailing over a waterfall for some reason.
Hmm. What's this? It's short; looks readable. Camus? A Happy Death. I haven't read any of his stuff... How happy am I feeling right now? Happy enough; I can handle some existential whining. I'm gettin' it.
God! I feel like such a titan! Red Right Hand should totally be playing in the background right now. Haha, that's lame. Who gets a rush like the one I have right now? Two more books I'm about to master. Two more ticks on the checklist. Two more volumes of ideas and knowledge. Yeahhh buddy.
Okay. Get the movies and get out. What should I get? Oh, that's right. I have a list. That I made. So I don't end up panicking and getting three mangas, like last time. Okay, I'm walkin' I'm walkin' I'm walkin...
Who's that girl that keeps walking in front of me? God, she's doing my routine, scoping out the entire library like me. Introduce myself? Movies. Wait, girl. No, forget it, no compulsion. Movies. Wait. Focus. Smile at her. Approach. Okay, she put her head down and quickstepped past me. Hahaha. Okay, movie. Wait. Focus. Okay, that was disappointing, she definitely needs to lighten up when somebody's trying to introduce themselves. People need to stop reading so much and practice their social skills, geez. Whatevs for real this time.
Okay. We've got... okay. No Clockwork Orange. No Raging Bull. No Taxi Driver. Oh, werd. Indiana Jones. Werd, Dances With Wolves. Werd, wait, they have Tropic Thunder! Coup-ya!
Alright, I'm getting out of here before I get any bright ideas. This should be a fun block break. I'm gonna chill with the homies and watch a couple movies, should be a good time... Wait a second. Oh, geez. Oh my goodness. I just got an idea. A bright idea. But do I do it? Do I dare? No. Alright, that was pointless. My mouth actually said the word, "No," outloud, but my mind said yes. Okay, you know what? I'm doing it. Remember this day, world, as the day I started War and Peace! I've always wanted to... I think I'm ready... Oh, God! I just picked it up! I'm doing it! War and Peace! Alright, now I gotta get outta here before I do any more damage."
