On Randomness
So, like usual, I've been busy avoiding updating, because when interesting things happen, life's to exciting for me to update, and when life is boring, there's nothing to update about about. Fortunately for all of you, I've just experienced mild excitement, but am now bored, so I update for you, the adoring fans. Lesse, there was Ann Arbor, which ( Read more... ) -

You know how, when you're feeling sorry for yourself, you're supposed to go out there and do stuff? Like hanging out with friends, going to the city, going out to eat, and just generally goofing off? Well, it's really hard to get up and do crap when: A) there's no one around with whom to do stuff, B) you don't have the money, C) you don't have ( Read more... ) -

So, now that I am 19, I shall try to catalogue a few things that I know with absolute certainty ( Read more... ) -
On Shakespeare and SCAdian what-have-you
So, my sister and I just watched Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet, y'know, with Leonardo DiCaprio in it and all that. And yeah, he's really pretty silly, but my sister and I were have a conversation about scariness among the Montagues and Capulets. ( Read no further if you have little familiarity with the play, and if you do, read to laugh. ) -
On Graduations and whatnot
So, all LBP fans, I apologise for the break in internet activity and availability, but I've been on the road or in Indiana for my sister's graduation. It was fun! Haha, that's probably the worst summary I've ever given.

Ah, suburbia, my loathing for you knows no bounds. What is suburbia? It is the most artificial, synthetic imitation of nature ever created (and, of course, I don't believe in exaggerating). Because I'm a Baudelaire fan, I'll analyse suburbia from his pov. I'm going to argue that he'd think of it as a hideous crime against humanity. If the ( Read more... ) -

I struggle for the words to express my emotions. I have finished in Halifax. Well, unless TCD falls through. I have been to my last FYP lecture (intriguing), I have done the last FYP oral exam (bombed), and I have written the last paper (crappy ( Read more... ) -
On Joy
So, Monday was not a particularly good day. I had 2 exams, one of which counted for 30% of my grade, and the other about 10%. I bombed the oral exam, because I really don't like philosophy. I like art and literature, and history, and even science, but I really don't care about Hegel, Nietzsche, Rousseau, and Sartre. Then I had my Latin exam, ( Read more... ) -
Random (angsty) update!
I'm bored. Not quite so bored as I was at the start of the week, but still bored. Apathy rears its ugly head,except that in a way, boredom is necessary for all art. Says Baudelaire, at least. I find it strange to talk to people and realise how profoundly different we can be. For example, I was chatting with a girl who says that she genuinely ( Read more... )
