whenever i sit down to read this book [which has been often these past couple of weeks because i've been reading it for class], i can feel myself changing; and it's not the "wow, this book is so profound, it's changed my whole perspective on life," or, "damn, i'm sad because danielewski pwns post-modern/semiotic lit and i now know that i don't have ( Read more... )

;_; I still have yet to finish that book. I want to soooo badly but I'm afraid my eyes hate focusing right now and I think they're going to shit again.

we spent half a class talking about the glossary at the end of one of the Navidson Record chapters. it's ridiculous.

also, i had to edit the wikipedia article for an assignment. i don't EVER use wikipedia, and i really didn't like being forced to go there and participate... i mean, if someone like me can go in and throw a monkeywrench in the pudding, then what's to stop paris hilton??

wait. that's giving her a lot credit.

So one of the girls on my friends list posted about her mother dying, and one of her friends wrote this:

i read this, and i understand why you'd want to ridicule her, but then i look at your icon and i smile and forget what i was miffed about. it's just so goddamn joyful.
