The dream maker's gonna make you mad...
The space man says everybody look down--
it's all in your mind....
Killers = awesome.
Wow....so much for updating more often. o.o I can't believe it's been a month and a half-ish....I'm pretty much convinced now that my sense of time is shot to hell. That won't be good....
Anyway, so. Since I last updated....well, we began a new semester. I'm really liking my classes...I have a lot of friends in each, and my psychology teacher is SOOOOOO much better than last semester's. Plus, night photography is like one of the world's most awesome things, ever.
I recently finished Dracula and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde...I liked both well enough, but once I read the literary criticism for both, Stoker lost any respect I could have for him other than that he wrote the basis for amazing vampire-related things to come. Reading the story, things seem pretty straightforward, but all the literary geniuses say it's a bunch of Freudian stuff about the repression and vulnerability towards sin that women are subject to in the Victorian era...it's a load of crap, really. The theory... and Stoker's writing in general, I mean. The 2 female characters in the whole 400 page book see little to no character growth whatsoever, not to mention the end of that book was crap. Jekyll and Hyde was much better, and presented interesting theories about the nature of man and all that fun stuff. Well....they kept mentioning the "duality" of man, I wanted to start singing Slipknot if it wasn't for the whole I procrastinated long enough on my paper thing....anyway. Now I'm reading Poe. xD
As far as that winter dance I mentioned last time....it was a lot of fun. I asked a friend of mine and went with a big group of really awesome people, and I think this is the first high school dance I've gone to without much to any drama or other sorts of turmoil...haha. So, you know. Yay for fun.
My birthday was last week, on the fourth. It was a lot of fun, spending time with everyone. I got a laptop...it's amazing, but it might be time for me to be able to understand how to actually work a computer.... :/ maybe I can do something with the iPod I got for Christmas too. But anyway. FIRST BLOG POST ON THE NEW COMP, FTW. hahaha.
As far as life in general...meh. It's nice, I guess, but I could be happier. This is how the song/blog stuff kind of relates here, I guess....not completely, but well enough. My life can be chaotic and confusing as hell, sometimes. I keep thinking I'd have it so much easier if I knew the answers to all my questions, if I knew what to do to find where I belong and can be happy....yet, do I want to know those answers? It would be handy to know where to go from here, but at what cost?
I feel surrounded sometimes. Afraid to make mistakes that aren't mine to make. Feeling like I'm running out of time or something. Yet perfectly conscious that I have plenty of time, that the happiness I think everyone else has isn't worth worrying about, because I'm not alone and I'm putting things on pedestals that should rather be put in perspective. Good God, I hate the disparity between logic and emotions....
If life actually worked out ideally....what a novel concept.
Going to the Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight showing on Friday the 13th. Awesomeness.
Have a happy almost Valentine's/Forced Affection/Single's Awareness Day.
luv,
