It was Douglas Adams, what else do I need to say? Something interesting this book taught me is that Douglas Adams was a big fan of Charles Dickens.... hrm... I believe that says something to all of those Dickens haters out there... I'm not the only one who likes him, other intelligent people like him, too. There's nothing wrong with it. Anyway,

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is another audiobook. My sister's English class was reading it around the same time I did. It was so beautiful I can't even stand it. It's about a man living in an African village; I'm not sure exactly of the time period. The title is a reference to a poem by Yeats, I believe. I wasn't that excited about ( Read more... )

This one was also an audiobook. I kept hearing that it was such an amazing book. It was ok. It took me a while to get into I guess. I really liked the premise, and Bradbury's style was quite nice.

I was thinking about this time, almost 2 years ago. I said something, jokingly, that upset my English teacher. It was meant lightheartedly but he has PTSD and some other mental problems and it upset him a lot. As I tried to leave inconspicuously, feeling bad about it, he told me to wait so he could talk to me. He told me how offended he was. ( Read more... )

I had a dream today. In it, I saw my friend Justin's sister whom I have never met. She had curly, light blonde hair and fair skin and I was at some sort of dance performance of hers. I later found out that she actually does have light curly blonde hair and fair skin and is really into ballet. I choose to believe that this came to me as truth, ( Read more... )
