Emi's Reading Habits

     Because of my ADHD, I always need to keep my hands busy. You can imagine how annoying that must be, especially when I need to do schoolwork. Reading, for one thing, is something I must sometimes force myself to do. The thing is, I love reading, but if there's anything else going on, I'll get distracted. This doesn't seem too weird, except that in any other situation I have to have the TV on or there's no way I'll be able to concentrate. Reading is the only thing I do that requires complete silence. However, I can't ever sit still, even when I am reading. A lot of the time when I read, I'll sit in my desk chair and swivel about absentmindedly while I nibble on almonds. It's a problem when my girlfriend gets a hold of my desk chair first because that means I have to sit in a normal chair that doesn't move, and so I end up tapping and twitching my foot which shakes the whole room. I think my favorite reading habit of all though, is when it's really late, all the lights are off, everyone else is in bed and I get to read with my book light. I enjoy this because it feels like I'm getting away with something I shouldn't be doing.
