His journal posts

Another pointless ramble

Aug 28, 2007

Well hello again, gentle reader (don�t ask me where I got that from, some book I suppose). This is a very odd occurrence for me; usually I write one journal/blog entry and then get bored with the thing for months on end, but this is an extremely extraordinary circumstance (I think this is the first time I�ve ever written any sort of entry in one of these programs twice in the one day). I am so bored it�s now no longer funny, particularly since I have a lit essay due on Friday that I really should be working on instead of screwing around with OkCupid! But I just can�t get motivated to get into it. This is kinda strange as usually I obsess about my assignments from the date I read the question to when I finally hand it in (this ends up as close to 2 months worth of neuroses) and on top of that this essay question is probably my favorite one that I have ever been asked EVER in my four years at uni (at least in my lit major, there may have been better ones in anthro and would almost certainly have been better ones for history, but none come immediately to mind) so I don�t quite know why I can�t get this one out I know the material, the questions easy and I understand the author (D.H. Lawrence). But anyway, I�d better get back to it, see if I can get anywhere. Thanks for listening, It�s nice to think that I�m not just talking to myself like a crazy person.

My debut into the world of OkCupid! journals

Aug 28, 2007

Hi and welcome to anyone who is bored and foolish enough to read my journal thingy. This is my first (and quite likely my last) post on this thing as I find that anything like this, or blogs on myspace or anything else like that always interests me at first but then gradually I decide that it is far too much to be bothered with (this is probably because I can still only type with one finger at a time). So, the big news for this week: I finally finished reading Stephen King�s Dark Tower series. I�ve been six books through and waiting to read the seventh for months now so when I finally got around to doing so I was very excited, and I have to say, the book was just brilliant. I loved the first four Dark Tower books but the fifth and sixth was a little boring for me. This seventh book, in my opinion, turned the series around for me. Never has a book affected me so much. If you are reading this it is fairly obvious that you don�t know me at all (at least not yet). I have never been the sort to get overly upset by things. But this book affected me in ways that even books like To Kill a Mockingbird and The Lord of the Rings couldn�t. I was almost brought to tears in several different places, and I�ve cried, like, twice in my life (excluding my infant years of course). So, anyways, thanks for reading my rambled thoughts, and maybe I�ll post another disjointed sermon for you soon.
