(no subject)
Eimear, the luxembourg girl I met in the interviews, contacted me on MSN. I know what THAT means. She got into Oxford.
Ah... it didn't hurt much at all. Which is good. It means i'm getting over the oxford failure thing. The love affair with myself, I feel, will continue to flourish. *wink*
She's a young girl...16. And she can speak around 6 languages. I really want to get to know her. She reeks of the continent - territory i have never explored (and hence, territory I have lusted after since I became aware of zee Wanderbug). She's ridiculously intelligent. I was drawn to her because... i dunno... she seemed different... strange... out of place but not distastefully so. She is ALSO very mysterious and guarded.
You know how I am... i'm stupidly curious. I want to know everything. How can one expose me to such a puzzle and NOT expect me to take the damned bait? Early days yet. Maybe i'm misreading things. Or maybe... i've found a new friend. BUT... when she finds out i'm not going to Oxford, will she disregard me? MSN is such a difficult medium to make friends through... it's really hard to insinuate yourself. Tactics that work in real life would never work there.
Anyhoo... i've discovered Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata again. It makes me feel: a)like an evil genius hatching a plan b)like some great tragedy has befallen me and i need to slit my wrists in front of a cracked mirror c)like a real lady d)like being really still and comtemplative
yeah... I think i listen to it the whole night. AND the ocean song.
I've got new plans. I wrote a soppy short story on a gay couple for a friend and it got me thinking... "heeeey... i can write a collection of short stories, perfect it by the end of the college term and (i)keep it for a later date (ii)try to get it published."
So I looked through all my old work, laughed alot at the content and the style of it, and got down to thinking about plots. Now... when it comes to plots, i'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Sure, I can approach scenes with weird angles... but the big picture bores me. It's the goddamn TECHNIQUE! It's the little descriptive snapshots of scenes that are fun! So yes - I'm going to try to work on the big picture so i can one day write a bloody novel without getting bored after the 5th page.
