so.
im not in a good mood right now. i blame the books im reading. first i read mort. and its like - whaaat? i never realised terry pratchett could be quite so brutal. and ofcourse its totally true though, what happens. but man, about halfway through, i just stopped and its like, mort - what is wrong with you? why are you being evil and cruel and horrible? be nice dammit, BE NICE!!!
so yeah. that was just like. yeah
and now im almost through with the catcher in the rye, and again its like. well, its kinda random, but you can see where he's sort of going a little crazy, and again. messing with my head. it keeps reminding me of the perks of being a wallflower though. which is like. not now. dont need that right now.
and we got our reports today. so, most of my teachers were like "im so dissapointed in lucia, she needs to study more! she could do so much better, she needs to put more effort in, she needs to concentrate blah blah blah" and its just like. gah. dude, the mocks were right after our vacation. no-one in our class studied. and ofcourse i know i need to work harder, but jesus christ couldnt you have phrased it a little better? cause the minute my mum reads that, well, thats it man. no more life till the summer man. and its not like my grades were that fucking bad. my lowest mark was a C. and hello - most of my class did so bad.
but yeah. i know i need to work. its just that. meh. you could have been a little nicer people. heh. work. i keep putting it off. but yeah. studying. i need to start. soon. really.
i think definetely for chemistry. need to get my act together. im sorta dissappointed for maths, but i know that i also made a lot of really stupid mistakes in my exam which lost me a whole load of marks. damn graphs.
anyway. must go.

I've read Mort, but I don't remember it very well - it's been a while. I know what you mean about Catcher in the Rye - to me it was this story about an not very likable anti-social boy from an affluent background who was spiralling down into insanity and ends up institutionalized. Um, not exactly an upper.

I've never mentioned it, but I love your hobbits icon. The black and white, the expressions on their faces, the way the progression between frames implies motion with the way it scans too far forward and then backs up, even the smudged font. It all melds together so beautifully. I just love it. I've stared at it quite a bit.

Mort: its really different i think from most terry pratchetts. this one doesnt seem to have as much humour. its like, the humour is there in the way he describes the things around them yeah, but..how quickly mort's personality changes and becomes so...well evil. the word that came to my mind was brutal. usually his books are more subtle i think, but this one was just... it was really in your face how easily someone can be corrupted. and yeah, usually his books are gentler. well, thats what i felt anyway. and death as well. his character is quite different from how he is later on.(again, he seems harsher) i guess thats cause he grows and learns from his mistakes. but it was...good though. just not really what i was expecting.

Catcher in the Rye: im not really sure i get it. at some points he just annoyed me, and at others he kinda had a point. i dunno. i think i need to wait a while and re-read it and see what happens.

I've never mentioned it, but I love your hobbits icon.
thank you. =) i got it from some community....somewhere...
the way the progression between frames implies motion
yeah, that was what i first noticed about it, and i just thought it was really cool.
