nothing unusual, nothing strange
close to nothing at all
the same old scenario, the same old rain
and there's no explosions here
then something unusual, something strange
comes from nothing at all
i saw a spaceship fly by your window
did you see it disappear
happy February, my love. but I'm still considering this as January. for all I care, it's the 31st still. I hate February. you'd think I would like it, you'd think I'd look forward to it. my birthday is in February. this just makes it worse. bad things always happen to me around my birthday. I doubt this year will be different.
I missed the deadline for the Gazette story contest. I had the perfect story line in my head, including specific lines. it was due today. I've known for months but I never felt like doing it. I don't know why. I wouldn't have won but I should have entered anyway. I have another one coming up on the 5th, a 5000 worder. I'll see what I can do with it. I dunno. I hate writing short stories but it's nessicary.
I haven't been doing anything lately. not a surprise. just writing some and reading some. I started White Oleander a while ago, a few days. it's amamazing. man oh man. I'm madly in love with it. it's one of the most gorgeous peices of literature I have ever read. seriously. it's so vivid and intense and beautiful. I'm about halfway through it already. sure, doesn't sound like much but usually I start books, get 75-100 pages into it and then read something else for a few weeks or a month and then go back to the other book. *sigh* White Oleander was Janet Fitch's first book. if only I could have a debut novel like that. not only was it critically aclaimed, it was a movie and an Oprah's book club book. like Sleep Toward Heaven, minus the Oprah thing. I love Amanda Ward. her writing is just... amazing. man. I wonder about this sometimes, I really do.
so yeah, time for me to go. I need to work on that story. we'll see if I can get anything going for it. oh, and I just did this little quizzy thing...
Shakespeare: Sonnets. Everyone has heard of you,
and almost everybody can find something
touching in you. You are calm and control
yourself, even though your wisdom and your
messages are no lesser than those of others.
Which literature classic are you? brought to you by
Quizilla ironic? yeah, a little, because I don't even really like Shakespeare. he was talented but it's not my thing. now I really am going to bed... ta.
