So, it's 1 o'clock

mood:

energetic

music: Ask Me Nicely - Bethany Childs

And I'm feeling more productive than ever.

I'm thinking of scanning some pictures that ive been meaning to and then putting them on my flickr.com site. Yeah, i'll tell you all about that too. Then I'll prolly write some emails that I've been meaning to write. Then work on cleaning my room. Read more in my current book, "Ethan Frome {which is pretty interesting so far, in the aspect of not knowing exactly what the book is about yet, but wanting to find out so i keep on reading.}

Oh right...and for those of you who were wondering, 1984 was amazing. I loved how in some parts it could be totally lame and I really had to buckle down and force myself to read those parts. And others made the plot just take right off. That George Orwell...quite a writer. And I don't know if anyone else had this thought when they read it, but during "the rat part" at the end with Winston and O'Brien, that really made me think about being in Winston's postition. And what would make me turn against the people I love. I didn't come up with anything good though.

Oh well, I miss people. And I will. And life kinda sucks. And so do choices. But I guess we all gotta make them, whether we like it or not.

that's life.

Eh, I never liked George Orwell as much as some people do. The man just writes allegories, and I don't really go out for that shit. I hated The Lord of the Flies, for example. I do think the man is a good storyteller and has a brilliant grasp of human nature though. I just, in the words of Tolkien, "coridially dislike allegory."

That part though, where the inner party dude (totally forget his name) it like, "somtimes it equals five... sometimes it equals three... you must try harder Winston. It is not easy to become sane," I nearly crapped myself it was so creepy.

Yeah, holy crap. Both of Orwell's books were like that for me, with this one scene where I was all, "Holy crap!"

You should get around to reading _Animal Farm_ sometime too. It's a pretty neat fable, it'll take you like one day to do.
