Together, we can break the world record for longest book. When this challenge gets the necessary number of entries, it will expire and we will turn it into a book. Each entry will be its own chapter. Feel free to build from existing entries or write something radically different.

So, today's been a pretty normal day.  I can hear Megan and Sean in the kitchen again, talking and making a racket with the pots and pans clanging.  Roommates are fun.  Had another round of presentations in my Modern US class, lecture and discussion in American Lit I.  I need to work on my annotated bibliography for Shakespeare I.  Ugh.  Went to the library after class and grabbed some books for it.  I'm over my checkout limit again and had to get special permission to check out more books.  Nerd problems, God.  I found a couple of dollars from last winter when I took out my winter coat today, so I walked over to the dollar store after I dropped off my backpack at the apartment.  Bought some candy.  I was going to just get a bag of peanut brittle and save the other dollar, but then I saw the macaroons, so I got those, too.  Still only two dollars, so, not bad.  As I said, an exciting day.  I need to text Natalie, see if she'll be in for Thanksgiving Break, too.  Now Megan's doing that annoying screaming-laughing thing again.  God.  Why do people keep flirting when they're already dating?  And now they're beating on my door again.  What is it now?  I did the dishes.  Maybe I can pretend I'm not here.  Now one of them is sticking their hand under the door?  What the hell?  What is

You fall asleep leaning against my legs

After sinking another ship

I sit on the sofa and stare ahead

And hope we never grow old.
