I really have NO time for anything, much less updating LJ, because it is paper-writing crunch time for my Library & Info Studies class. But...this Library Story of the Day was too...something for me to pass up documenting
( Read more... )
I've looked at Great Expectations all week and am about to write 800 words about an interpretation of the text without having read a word because I'm out of time. How's *that* for impressive?
In other news, if you have anything to add to interpretations of GE, I'd love you forever!
...Well, IDK how much you know or what angle you're taking on it, but it's a coming-of-age story about Pip, and crime & punishment and guilt are major themes as well, as are social classes (OF COURSE, because it's Dickens). There are other themes about revenge, and letting go of the past, and what love really is, what it means to be family, and...there is just SO MUCH, ahhhhh I want to re-read it now... Can you tell me more specifically what kind of input you want? Though it HAS been a while since I read it, so.
lol Weeeeeell, I should really give the copy of Weiss I have back to Anne. I bought her new, official ones, but. The crazy subtitles are so wonderful, this version is kind-of irreplaceable regardless of their ~QUALITY~.
...But I do have a goodly portion of the Skip Beat Manga, yes. |D
lol Heck if I know, I guess so? I mean, I only got halfway through that terrible book before I had to give up, because..."relating to the teens better" was Just Not Worth enduring that level of all-around badness. So maybe it really is kind of impressive that she finished it at all.
...OH YEAH--and if I die, you get your pick of my video games. |D
...A tiny part of me also wants to see that movie because YES, THAT BOOK WAS SUCH A TRAIN WRECK, WHAT THE HELL. ...Actually, it was more like a train wreck that happens during a chain of tsunamis that occur because aliens are invading and MEANWHILE the Earth is hit by a meteor that threatens to send it CAREENING INTO THE SUN...and even then, I think Breaking Dawn is worse. But Robert Pattinson really just...gives me CREEPS, AUGH, so...YEAH, NO. :| And remember, this is only PART ONE! THE TRAINWRECK WILL CONTINUE ONLY AFTER THEY STEAL MORE OF YOUR MONEY.
...Ahaha. At this rate, I think all of my friends are going to start WANTING me dead.
I know, right? Maybe it's a good thing she didn't give me the chance to say anything, really, because...I had...no words. None that wouldn't get me in some sort of trouble, anyway. Though I *DID* tell my co-workers about what she'd said after she left, and they laaaaaaaaughed. And my favourite coworker, the one who's the closest thing to a friend I have there, KNOWS how much I hate Twatlight, and so she was like, "HaHAAAAA, she was talking to the wroooong person about Twilight~" X'D
But yeah, I really honestly did make that first Tonyfais up there. |D Followed by an r u srs? fais (which...I think she took as an impressed expression, LMAO), and then I managed to re-engage my Pleasantly Blank Non-judgmental Smile.
PFFFFF I... honestly, if it were my job, I wouldn't have said anything, most likely, but... ohman I could not have kept a straight face beyond a stiff "....PFFFFFWAT"
