Pride

-
I went to pride Saturday! It was alright, but overwhelming. I saw 4 people from school, and managed to avoid interaction with 3 of them! (I tried to find Sylvia and Ivan, but I failed.) I split up from my little group with Finn and his VCS friends to just wander freely, which felt good. Large social settings seem better, oddly enough, when I am alone and there's not pressure to move or exist at anyone's pace but my own. I ended up just doing laps around all the rainbows and excitement, which is totally weird and not a Thing Normal People Do, but I mean? Whatever? It felt good, so leave me alone.

Also, I got to pet a very small (like, malkin sized) pig wearing a rainbow tutu, named Kevin. So, that's a big success right there!

Emergency Contact

It's the middle of Tech Week , so I don't really have time to read, but I managed to finish Emergency Contact by M. H. K. Choi anyway, because it's extremely overdue. This book is literally just Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl. No joke. Rainbow Rowell actually blurbed it ("blurbed" is totally a word, right?), and I can see why she liked it- it's basically just her own book. The main character, Penny, is a bit of a sort of awkward, introverted nerd, but still decently pretty. She's heading off into her freshman year of college. Her roommate and her roommate's bestfriend are both pretty and extroverted and fond of pushing Penny into social situations. Penny meets a guy. They text a lot. And also, she has a broken relationship with her mother and is writing a big thing because she is at college to be a writer. So yeah, it's just pretty much Fangirl . I was a little bit disappointed about the heterosexualness, because while Fangirl had a wonder...

Afterworlds- S. Westerfeld

It's finally time for another edition of "What's Delilah Been Reading?"! After reading approximately 1 book in 3 months, Librarian Lisa knocked some sense into me and I finished 3 books over break. To quickly talk about the other two: Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introverts Story - D. Tung This one's a small little graphic novel! It's short, but adorable and was nicely relatable, though straighter than I was hoping for. (Don't) Call Me Crazy- 33 Voices Start the Conversation about Mental Health - K. Jensen This was a collection of pieces from different authors about their experiences with mental health. Some parts were kind of boring, and I think it needed more poetry. The main reason I read it was because Adam Silvera had a piece in it. His piece was amazing. I love Adam Silvera. Also, the rest was pretty good. But! Back to the point. I was so desperate to start reading again that I took whatever Lisa recommended and just went in and starte...
