Reviewing
You know, I think I'm too critical. I love nitpicking every story that fall into my hands. The problem is that I'm a better critic than I'm a writer. I guess that's why I don't write that much, I mean, I do write, but I throw most of it away. I'm the kind of person who can't read a book without writing something on it, be it a spelling correction or a comment on a paragraph. To make matters worse, I'm a bookworm. And a compulsive book buyer. Indeed, I buy books beyond my means. I imagine myself in the future, starving and homeless, but with a stack of brand-new books by my side. Besides, when I get obsessed over an author, I gotta have all of his/her books. And I'm deadly jealous of my books - I don't like to lend them to anyone, even to my parents. When I do lend them to someone, I feel broken-hearted for days. No wonder people think I'm eccentric. Well, I just love my books.

Well, getting back to reviewing. I love reviewing, especially if I like what's written or when there're so many errors I can't help but correcting them. Not that I think I'm the one who has to teach all of the poor wanna-be writers out there. Hey, I'm a wanna-be writer. I'm not perfect... yet.^^ Kidding. It's just something embedded into my DNA. Somehow, I always blame it all on the DNA. Science has made life so much easier, hasn't it? :P
