This is actually the first time this week that I have felt pretty good. I dont feel sick or anything, and my head isnt stuffy. I even managed to eat food without having that feeling of wanting to throw up. What horrible english though... That sentence just then was a bit awkward. Oh well. I just finished reading "The Collector" by John Fowles.
Most people usually do it in high school for reading. I didn't and I thought it would be interesting. It was. If you didnt know, its about this man who kidnaps a girl that he has been watching/stalking for 2 years, and since through a windfall has become rich, he buys a house and imprisons her in the basement.
The first half is from his point of view, and the second half is from hers through a series of journal entries. He "loves" her, but she finds him stupid; the kind of person that she hates (a person who Collects, who likes to preserve dead specimens, and one of the New People). She calls him Caliban (from Shakespeare's The Tempest), and through coincidence, her name is Miranda, and he tells her that his name is Ferdinand (the lovers in The Tempest), but she prefers to call him Caliban; a primitive man on the island who desires Miranda. Although she mocks him and everything, he just takes it all because he thinks her beautiful and idolises her above all other women.
I wont continue, cuz I dont wanna spoil anything.
Anyway, it seems to be the start of the new anime season -.-
I am currently watching: Aoi Hitomi no Shoujo, Death Note, Asatte no Houkou, Busou Renkin, Bleach and Kiba.
I'm still waiting for Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori though. If you're into anime, I really recommend you check out Asatte no Houkou. The art is really pretty (its all I can say for now).
I think I'm going to sleep now. I have work tomorrow at 11, and I haven't gotten any work done tonight. I'm a horrible person, cuz I know when the exams come up in three weeks time, I'll be flailing around going "What the hell!?!? I havent had enought time!!!!!!
Even on Monday morning, I got half of my tutorial work done, and then I was on the fence about whether to go or not. In the end I went half an hour late (I was scared that I might be kicked out of the class for coming halfway through- everyone was staring at me, and I dont know anyone in that class either).
