Confessions of a Bookaholic - 1

I got Pinterest recently. Yesterday in fact. I only got it 'cause my cousin told me I should. I'd never really bothered about it before, so only got it for her sake. And boy am I glad she told me to get it! I actually think I'm addicted (But then again, I do tend to be over fascinated with things at first then I get over it, so my over enthusiasm over Pinterest should calm down soon).

Anyhoo, there's just so much of cool stuff on Pinterest! My mind is completely blown away. And more especially by the stuff I've found that so relate to me. When it comes to books I can be a bit, um, 'creepy', I guess. Well that's how my friends and family sort of call it... So when I found all these  pictures 'pinned' by others about their personal feelings and beliefs and what not towards books, I was just over the moon! I pinned just about everything like a crazy person on ecstasy.

I'm just so super excited about this that I felt I had to share it here on "Rapture My Life". So I decided that there are far too many pictures to have them all in a single post, so I'll do a series: "Confessions of a Bookaholic". The term "readaholic" was toyed around with, but I just prefer "bookaholic" for varying reasons. Also, most of the pictures have numbers on them. I'm assuming that that is so because whoever originally 'made' the pictures numbered them as they were done... and seen as I don't know where they originate from and do not have access to them all, the picture number's and my post number's will not correlate.

So here is the first pic (which is in no order of importance, just sort of how I found them):

The car that stole my heart...

So we were online today, because Sahil was looking for Monza's AGAIN. And we chanced upon a car that just called out to me! Its the car I WANT! I have to have it! But, alas, I can't :( Its R12 000 and not in the best shape. Now, I know absolutely nothing about cars. I'm entirely shallow about them, so this was all about the looks. So all I know about this car is what is stated in the ad by the owner (and what I can find out on google). So, MY DREAM is a 1971 Mini Austin 1000 cc. So I get that its not a fast car, but I don't need fast. It will obviously need a lot of work. And it has some serious rusting which needs to be sorted out. Hence, I wish I were rich enough to afford it :(

My current plan is to take any work, odds and ends, whatever it takes, to save up 12 grand so I can buy the car. I can then just keep it, use it every now and then, but keep it around for when I'm eventually rich and can afford to restore it thoroughly and do it up properly...

I'm all for the hope...
And prayers...
So please hope and pray for me...
Kind donations welcome... :)

My baby (well one day... I hope)

Sniff sniff....

Middlemarch quotes

An abstract from Middlemarch, by George Eliot:

"We mortals, men and women, devour many a disappointment between breakfast and dinner-time; keep back the tears and look a little pale about the lips, and in answer to inquiries say, 'Oh, nothing!' Pride helps us; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our own hurts - not to hurt others."
