Am so behind on pretty much everything. Must comment on Friend's List's posts. Must finish reading "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Things Fall Apart ( Read more... )

First, it was to start two hours late. Then, it was cancelled. I speak, of course, of school. And, I must say, damn-- there is a lot of white stuff, out there. I don't know that we'll be able to drive, at all. I want to go to Border's, to check if they have "Jane Eyre," yet, and because the fourth (and last! *sob*) Sisterhood of the Traveling ( Read more... )

I haven't anything to post, really. I didn't go to school, today. We were just going to watch a film in French, and I didn't have any other classes, so I stayed at home. And I made Russian Tea Cookies.

3 Telemauchus, The Odessey.

4 Wade Hamilton Hampton, Gone With the Wind5 Harry James Potter, ( Read more... )

Just had an idea for Eleanor and Col. Dobbin... Eleanor should make Dobbin turn traitor! It'll be just like Benedict Arnold, who tried to give West Point to the British becuase his wife cost a lot to keep happy, only... diferent. Still, it strikes me as funny. I'm thinkning that Dobbin will turn Confederate just before the war ends. Does anyone ( Read more... )

I'm working on a Civil War novel, and its going rather well. Drat, now I've probably jinxed the whole thing. The story is supposed to be about a girl named Violet, but her incredibly stupid sister, Eleanor, has taken over. I'm going to marry Eleanor to this old man named Col. Dobbin, which will be very fun. Col. Dobbin loves photography --" ( Read more... )
