Lord of the Rings...try #3

So I first tried to read LOTR 2 years ago ( age 13) and barely made it through The Fellowship of the Ring. Skipped through it really. Stepping-stone read it, if you like. I just read what I deemed important and skipped what I deemed not. As a result I had no idea what was going on.
I took another jab at it last year (14). I made it to the second chapter of Two Towers...sigh. I couldn't do it. I still had no understanding or interest of what was going on in the book.
So now, it's time for try three. I'm going to take my time. I'm not going to skim. I realized that I needed to know that I had *not* memorized LOTR like I had pretty much done HP and could *not* just skip the uninteresting bits. I did this slow, thorough reading with The Hobbit and thoroughly enjoyed it. Hopefully I will feel the same after The Fellowship of the Ring.
So I shall dive in.
I decided the prologue was of little to no importance and I could skip it entirely. The Internet agrees with me (how trustworthy).
I might give updates about how I am fairing with tackling this book. Wish me luck!

Why Pinterest is deadly

So all of us have had that one sorry sort of moment in life when we are supposed to be doing something productive but we choose to waste that time creeping around Pinterest? Yep. I do it ahh...daily. Supposed to be studying? I'll do that after a check out what's up on Pinterest. Oh I need a color scheme for a project? Lets look on Pinterest! And the list goes on and on for my ridiculous excuses.
For example, I have been meaning to get my learners permit for like 2.75 months. But whenever I get a chance to study for it, my iPod is sitting over there charging, looking oh so tempting...and then I see a notification from Pinterest pop up...I'm done, there no chance resisting.
Why does his happen? This plague completely controls the female species! It's just like the nonsense on there is so dang irresistible. Why? Why do I want to look at some other girls hair for and hour when I am well aware that my hair could never look like that? Or all the humorous e cards, I've probably aren't them all like ten times but it won't hurt to look through them again! Or the HP quotes and the clothes that are way to expensive to think about owning. It just is irresistible. I don't even look at the wedding stuff because I looked through it once...and hour and a half later I realized I had math homework. Now I love Pinterest. Have nothing against something that can bring me hours of pleasure. But mark my words,Pinterest will be the end of human females!!
