You're unsure if I am a loose end or a strand
that waits for you to mend or understand
A few words
"When we describe the Moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness."
~ D.H. Lawrence

"Is the meaning of life defined by its duration? Or does life have a purpose so large that it doesn't have to be prolonged at any cost to preserve its meaning?"

"Living is not good, but living well. The wise man, therefore, lives as well as he should, not as long as he can... He will always think of life in terms of quality not quantity... Dying early or late is of no relevance, dying well or ill is... even if it is true that while there is life there is hope, life is not to be bought at any cost."
~ Seneca

"People will tell you nothing matters, the whole world's about to end soon anyway. Those people are looking at life the wrong way. I mean, things don't need to last forever to be perfect."
~ Daydream Nation

"All Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories-- if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death."
~ The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes

"The road now stretched across open country, and it occurred to me - not by way of protest, not as a symbol, or anything like that, but merely as a novel experience - that since I had disregarded all laws of humanity, I might as well disregard the rules of traffic. So I crossed to the left side of the highway and checked the feeling, and the feeling was good. It was a pleasant diaphragmal melting, with elements of diffused tactility, all this enhanced by the thought that nothing could be nearer to the elimination of basic physical laws than deliberately driving on the wrong site of the road."
~ Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

"It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend."
~ William Blake

It's that feeling again
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
...The feeling that I am surrounded by idiots.

We were peer reviewing rough drafts of our first assignment today in my English class. I had marked up the papers of the other two people in my group, and I guess they marked up mine. Sort of.

The guy seemed to think it was fine, although he wanted me to add some details that would be pretty irrelevant. The girl... told me she couldn't understand what I was saying and called one of my sentences a fragment, then said "split into 2 sentences." How this makes sense I know not.

She said the sentence "the poets whose work I enjoyed most influenced me somewhat, and I am sure that I must emulate them at times in my writings" was hard to understand and I needed to simplify/rephrase it. X|

I don't really see a problem with it. I don't know what the issue is here. In addition, I showed it to Casey, who agreed that it was perfectly fine.

So basically she's trying to get me to revise because it's too difficult for her...? I don't even know how to take this. Do I dumb down what I feel like is an adequate sentence?

Oh yeah and one of her comments was "good to compliment yourself." What? Seriously, what? I am so confused.

-Sigh-

I don't want to just ASSUME that the people around me are dumber than I am, but... I mean... this is not helping.

Couple of pictures here...

The sodas I've been drinking.

(Coconut flavored)

This is a really crappy picture but I had some trouble taking it so I figured I'd just use this one.

GUESS WHO? I think it's kind of an "aw shucks" pose. Or it would be if not for the soulless eyes staring off into space.

I am thinking about going to the C-store to get some munchies, but I feel like if I go out I should write Mr. Boyfriend Dearest...

But.... meh. I have no motivation to write him because I don't know if the letters are going through at all. :|Eet sucksss.

Not feeling quite as depressed as before, but I still lack any motivation whatsoever. I can't wait to GET OUT OF HERE.

---

When I finish my four panel strip I'll try to take a picture to show you guys.

Technically I think the sentence is fine, but it is...awkward? I don't know. I understand what you're saying, but I did a double take.

the sentence is fine. i think that you should change the ", and" to just a semicolon. that's just my opinion. see? i told you i hate peer review.

that drawing is awesome, btw.
