YAY for library books in the wilderness.

@DragonintheLibrary I know what you mean about watches, although I have to say this summer I've been getting more and more used to not wearing it, and that's nice. I find it kind of interesting that you noticed that I wear a watch, actually. It's something I consider normal, but it's true that not many young people do.

And by some amazing coincidence, I'm currently reading Love, Stargirl! It's wonderful, although it keeps making me cry.

@behindthesun02 Me too! It never used to be that way. I didn't used to wear my watch all the time, but now I do, and I feel so uncomfortable without it that I even wore it in my best friend's wedding (I was a bride's maid.) Actually Katie, one of the tiny and silly things I like about your videos is that you wear a watch, something not many people of our generation do anymore. Have you ever read "Love, Star Girl"? It's really good, and there's a fab poem about counting time.

It's weird how much time rules our lives. I feel like I would be so lost without knowing what time it was. And I always feel really confused when I don't pay attention to the time and all of a sudden it's hours later.

Unsurprisingly, the word "time" is one of the most used words in the English language. I think it may be in the top ten, but I'm not sure about that.

This is a really really interesting concept.

I've never been camping! I've always wanted to go though...It looks so peaceful! Time does freak me out... sometimes I love not knowing what time it is, other times I wish it would just stop, and other times I need to know. Funny, that.

I love camping. Though, when we go camping we usually go to camp sites so there ARE showers.

The point about knowing when we're gonna die is really interesting. I didn't think of that.

I think because of the fact that we live in such a fast-passed schedule orientated world, ever-present knowledge of time becomes more and more a necessity.

I don't like it when I don't know what time it is. That's the reason I wear my watch! I really hate it when I'm late, too, so I feel the need to constantly know what time it is. I just generally like everything to be all nice and timely so I guess knowing what time it is just a part of that. I've also just always had a fascination with time and watches and clocks and stuff, so there's that, too!

If I don't wear my watch I feel naked. No joke. Also, Katie, your video-making skills never cease to amaze and astound me. <3
