This was a different entry but I feel like what I'm writing now is more important/interesting/bizarre.

I am writing an essay for my nonfiction class about being eighteen. It's supposed to be in the style of Joan Didion, a famous nonfiction writer whose book The Year of Magical Thinking we've just read in my class. Remember that name, Joan Didion.

Saturday was 24 Hour Comic Book Day. I knew about it but decided not to do it because I had a small party that night. It was probably a good thing in retrospect but I feel kind of bad for giving it a miss.

Anyway I think I'm going to get back into the sunday stories game, since it's been forever since I did the last one.
This is just a tiny update I guess.

First off: I should be doing laundry. But! Instead I'm typing a fairly pointless entry and watching movies and knitting. I'm about 2/3 of the way done with my scarf! I never thought it'd go this fast but if you watch the same movie for 4 hours (Across The Universe, then all the special features, then the movie again with commentary), it goes really ( Read more... )

Oh man do I hate the internets. And school, and the world. But you know what? I don't want to focus on negative stuff! So instead I'll talk about cool and funny things ( Read more... )
