Karl is feeling oddly detached from himself... and facebook is to blame for Karl referring to himself in third person.
I'm currently in one of those "Why the fuck are American politics so fucked up, why the fuck did I ever want to be an engineer, and why the fuck am I incapable of discussing my feelings ways that don't feel like ranting" moods. Regarding politics, I rarely follow politics closely because it usually makes me upset when I do. I could go on forever about the warped and twisted entity that is american politics, but it doesn't matter one bit what I think because I'm powerless to change, or even avoid it. I will strongly consider moving to another country, possibly Canada or somewhere in the European Union, if and when it ever becomes feasible.
As for Engineering, well it's just upsetting to work your ass off knowing quite well that precious little of it will have been necessary. But the same is probably true for all majors, so I guess it's a wash, overall. When it comes to expressing my feelings, I hate complaining, but it is all that I'm able to do. I never leave any room for discussion, but rather assault the poor friend on the receiving end with an agenda that proceeds without heed to any bits of constructive advice that may come the other way.
The sad part is that it wasn't always that way. It's been such a long time since I acquired a constant sense of hopelessness that I've forgotten to how to live without it. This, more than anything else, is what draws me to speculative fiction so strongly. I really couldn't care less about magic or future tech, I just want to experience life in a world that does not too closely resemble my own.
I've started laying the groundwork for creating a fantasy novel of my own. Quite frankly though, I'm daunted by the size of the task at hand. Simply creating the world, places, and people is an enormous task that could take me years to finish. Once that is done, it shouldn't be too hard to bring the plot to life, but I think I'm going to get some advice from the pros before I start writing so that I might avoid some of the problems that befall novice writers. We'll see what happens.
