…I knew jealousy would be the best ally I could call in for the furtherance of that end

—Mr. Rochester, Jane Eyre

I set jealousy traps. I don’t do it maliciously, and I don’t go out of my way to set them up. I just do it to gather information, to know where people stand. Does this make me a bad person? Perhaps, but I think that I’m as much at fault as the person who falls for such a thing. After all, jealousy to me is a superfluous emotion.

It’s AMAZING what some will do when they’re jealous.

Doesn’t it suck to find two copies of the same book with different translations, and the inferior translation is the one in hard-cover or the better design? I’m a sucker for a nice looking book.

I don’t make my bed more than once a week.

I sleep with two pillows. The bigger, fluffier one goes under my head, and the smaller, less fluffier one I hug. I’ve been sleeping with two pillows longer than I can remember, and it’s become difficult to fall asleep with just one, which makes crashing at friends places and hotels a bit of a hassle. Sometimes I sleep on my side with the smaller pillow on my back and pretend I’m sleeping next to someone.
