sometimes it feels like i would give my write arm to have a gig going like Rowlings does. i've never read any of the HP books and dont really plan on it (too long and not interesting enough for me personally when i've got so much else i want to read) but the fact that people around the world practially hole themselves away to read the second the books come out...thats got to be an amazing feeling.
hmm, to day i need to get to rereading Romeo & Juliet for a prereq test next month. i started last night, got to page 3 and was like, "bah! this is why i hated R&J!!" because opening of pg one you've got Sam saying: "I'm all big and tough and damn those Monteque's piss me of."
and Greg replys like: "Yeah, you talk but really you talk like a blown up coward."
Sam: "I do not! if i met a monteque right this minute i'd kill 'im! hack of 'is head and then rape his women!."
and Greg, not only snide but disgusted: "Yeah, but look at it from the other side."
Sam (puffs up manly chest): "Oh, they'd be happy to get a piece of me!"
uggg *beats stupid overblown Shakespearian plot with stick* i really like Shakespeare's poems and comedies etc etc but i just do not see what people see in Romeo and Juliet.
