Oh, no, you know... just being me

If you're a writer or a reader, you'll understand this.
     This is one of those little writer moments.
     So, as a writer, you know, I'm sitting in class, writing, as we writers like to do, and I'm about a page in when the kid next to me asks: "Do we have to take notes?"
     I dearly like to mess with people, so I look over at him thoughtfully and shake my head slowly. "No," I smile simply.
     "Then what are you doing?" he wonders, obviously confused.
     I give him a look. "Writing."
     "You're a writer?" he asks, now surprised.
     Sigh. If I'm writing, then yes, I'm a writer, but thank you for your interest.
     Or there's always the question the teacher asks after they make sure you're done with whatever you're supposed to be doing. "Are you writing a note?" my math teacher asks.
     I shake my head.
     "Taking notes?"
     I shake my head again. "I'm writing," I say simply. He nods, feigning interest and moves on. Math teachers definitely don't understand. They're always like "math is fun!" and I'm thinking no! No it's not! Besides, when an I, as a writer and hopefully eventually-to-be author, going to use math?
     Some people are so confused.
     And then there are the reader moments.
     The book I'm reading right now (for my English book report, no less) is The Way of Kings, by Brandon Sanderson. And whenever I pull it out, everyone gapes at it. I kid you not, the book is a thousand and one pages -- I checked. The thing is huge.
     These are the questions of confusion that I get:
     "You're reading that?"
     "How long is that thing?"
     "Is that your book?"
     "It's huge! How can you read something so big?"
     I'm a reader, people, it's kind of what I do. I bet if I read it non-stop, with minimal food and potty breaks (which won't happen--I'm always hungry and have to go to the bathroom when I get excited--sorry of that's a TMI moment), I could finish it in about three days. Maybe less. But, alas, due to school and writing, I have very little time for reading lately. I'm so behind.
    Anyway... there's my story for the day. Hey, look at that--it wasn't about my sisters! Amazing.
