| OH MY GOODNESS! So, to no avail do I find myself slowing down in the
consumption of Pride and prejudice, just the opposite in fact (I
believe I only have, what, 4 or so chapters left? and Half of the BBC
mini series).
Why, oh cruel world, must all good things come to an end?
Actually,
I know that answer- it wouldn't be good if it continued forever, and no
one with any sense and wit to them would ever pick it up.
Woe.
To be read after the conclusion of P&P:
Bridget Jones's Diary
BJ's Diary: Edge of Reason
Sense and Sensibility
Emma
Good Omens
etc... | | |
|  One thing that continues to astonish me in school is the constant
bemoaning of wanting a girl/boyfriend. I mean, I can understand if
you're single and you let your thoughts wander and to pass some
extremely boring class you make up "what if" scenario's involving the
one whose caught your eye, but I can't understand bringing it up every
chance you get in a conversation. I mean, if you whine about it and are
really vocal about the whole thing, wouldn't that kind of mark you as
"easy" or "desperate"? Then again, if you don't say anything at all
then people may not think your interested... So it's all lose lose?
That sucks.
But
still, From what I've seen around school it's just:
girlfriend/boyfriend = happiness. I don't think it even matters WHO
you'r going out with, just as long as you are. Isn't that a tad... um,
degrading for both parties?
And okay, I can also understand if
you've never had a boyfriend/girlfriend and you're anxious about it so
you start to think if somethings wrong with -you-.... but then again
one glance at the male population at school would reassure you that
maybe the problems are on the other side (I can't speak for guys
wanting a girl in this case). Sure there MAY be ONE guy who's DECENT,
but that by no means that you should jump him or start to shamelessly
flirt.
Or maybe it's just me and I never got the dating handbook
of all the do's and don't's and what's allowed and what isn't (this is
coming from somone who's only ever official (by that I mean they
actually asked instead of you two were really close and people
-assumed-) relationship, if you can call it that, lasted the whole of
one week in which I was gone the whole of the week sick with strep
throat.)
Still... You kind of have to wonder...
Personally, I
think I'll stick to my "what if" scenario's and imaginary guys, at
least you don't have to worry about being shy, if your hair looks
presentable of not, or if you maybe should've taken that stick of gum
your friend offered you after lunch.
and note: this isn't
referring to anyone in specific, just a generalization that I found
interesting and that I, by no means, am excluded from in the
observations | | |
| I hate people who can't enjoy good, classic literature.
I just,
seriously, had a conversation with a guy who didn't like Shakespeare
just because he killed off his characters and didn't like how that at
the very beginning of the play told you how it would end. He also
thought that guys reading books listing as targeted towards females
automatically made them gay, but girls reading a guys book was okay. He
also doesn't get the concept authors discretion, and says that if an
author who's writing a -seemingly- reality set book says the sky is
purple (which they may because it is their story, unless they out and
out say that it takes place in the real world) then they are wrong. He
also thinks the theme of Romeo and Juliet was "love conquers all",
which is funny because in that play love conquered nothing really. He
also thinks that books with just talk are boring. He also couldn't believe that everyone in our class actually liked Romeo and Juliet, so OBVIOUSLY we -must- be brainwashed.
I hate stupid snobs like him, and this did NOT make my day ANY better.
I'm
now off to watch part 3 of the Pride and Prejudice BBC mini series.
Based on a book that's NOTHING BUT, how did he put it? "talk talk talk" | | |
| So, I just spent the last two days being woozy and completely out of it. Apparantly I'm pretty funny coming out of anesthesia, but I can't remember it. I do remember telling everyone who dared to talk to me not to do drugs, and that I was going to be mad if I saw Elvis in the refrigerator. Other than that I was just loopy.
So yesterday I got my wisdom teeth removed (fun stuff...er... not) and hence, I have spent the last 48 hours or so being out of it, hungry (I'm sick of not being about to eat anything with substance), and just plain loopy.
I tired to go to school today (bad idea), but instead just picked up some review work (most of which I didn't get around too) then felt utterly queezy and went back to bed until 4:50 ish where I then finished off my Lord of the Rings Marathon with mom (I was planning to watch Digimon tamers, but every time I tried to look at the computer screen my eyes would swim. That and How could I say no to a couch?)
So that has been my fun for the past two days.
Just thought I'd update.
Don't do drugs.

| Wow.... I don't know whether or not to take Ranma 1/2 seriously or not....
It's... well... obviously one of Rumiko Takahashi's first works... but... it has some addictive thing to it (although how it continues to 38 volumes I have no idea).
But wow... Good medicine for the heart if you want some out there martial arts comedy.
Now back to reading it!
--more of a review may fallow, I dunno--
