      I have several favorite places, mostly depending on my mood. Typically, I'd have to say that my room is my favorite place. It has all my computers docked in it, my television, and most of my gaming systems. It has my bookshelf as well, although I'm not typically a fan of buying books. I keep blankets over my window to help facilitate sleeping during the day. When I'm in my room, I'm usually laying in bed, either on my laptop or reading by lamplight. My room is my comfort zone, quite possibly the only place I can sleep in. When I moved elsewhere, I greatly missed the comfort of this room, which my brother tried to take over, rather unsuccessfully.

      Otherwise, my favorite place really changes. My father's old computer room was a fantastic place. I spent a lot of time in my preteen years playing Runescape there with the oddly fantastic smell of tea and fig newtons. For reading, I believe that my favorite place is the beach. The beach is one of the few places I don't listen to music as I read, as the typical sounds of the beach are relaxing enough for me.

      In fiction, I have a place that I just enjoy reading about. The Ireland that Nita Callahan experiences in the fourth book of the Young Wizard series is definitely the place with the best feel. The author really puts a lot of effort into describing the majesty of a rural Irish area, which she does well because I'm fairly sure she lives in such an area.

      On a side note, tonight was my last night of work, since I quit due to having a summer job lined up. This means that I can finally grow out my goatee again! I am kind of curious as to what became of my coworker who took an 8 day vacation and dropped out of college because she was 100% sure that the world was ending on the 21^st. I rather hope she doesn't kill herself, but I guess I'll never really know, eh?
