I think writer-types have a tendancy to accept anything that happens that maybe isn't the best as at least a useful experience to write about later. Plus, writing about such experience likely lessens the emotional impact, i.e. you work out the unhappiness you might experience more quickly. True :-)

I recently read in Psychology Today that happiness stays fairly consistent throughout ones life... regardless of the circumstances one is in (unless of course a series of devastating occurrences keeps happening). Interesting post, made me think about a few things myself. I don’t know… panic sometimes is important to survival as well. :)

]]> Comment on Aqua Books to serve its own soup by Heather http://bookscribeblog.com/?p=195&cpage=1#comment-155 Heather Sun, 09 Dec 2007 01:21:43 +0000 http://bookscribeblog.com/?p=195#comment-155 I was at the Grant McNally location (I love their kids' section) and it was busy too. I do shop there for new books for school, and, because I'm buying for my library by purchase order don't have to stand in the long lineups :-) I try and get my second hand books for school and personally from Aqua. As long as you can wait (and sometimes the kids can't for such books as Harry Potter #7 and Small Steps, the sequel to Holes, for example)you can get books in near excellent condition for great prices.

I was at McNally's today and there was a (not kidding) 20 minute lineup... they had plenty of registers going but just too many people shopping there. cool, I am going to have to check them out at their new place.
