my life as a pencil
heh...one of our writing prompts in either ninth or tenth grade...
Anywho, I finally submitted my app to UF...now i have to look at Amherst College, the Claremont colleges in CA, UVa, U of Chicago, etc, etc, etc...
Allow me to say, "Gah."
To make my dad happy, immediately upon completion of this entry, I shall look at housing at UF... he is so uber-obsessive about it, though i agree that it is a founded worry.
And how come i cant write like most ppl do in their journals? I used to have one at opendiary...but i got lazy, never updated it. Plus, i like bein able to put pictures up for this one.
Which reminds me: I have a new fandom!!!! w00t!!!! Ladies and gents, I now introduce....Saiyuki!!!!!
Unfortunately, there are only nine volumes total, and there isn't that big a collection of slash stories at ff.net. But I shall persevere!!!!!!!!! I just hope that, while reading the manga, I don't go insane like i did for RG Veda...There are only ten volumes in that series, but I got so obsessed with it, I couldn't bring myself to read the last volume...*sigh*. THe art is so pretty in that, too...and it literally depresses me when the characters are self-destructive, and only getting worse. Can you tell I'm not really one for tragedy pieces?
And the train of thought keeps wandering...Speaking of tragedy, in my English class, we're reading Hamlet. I wanted to read for Horatio, cuz he's cool, but one of the other guys--acting freak Josh -- wanted to read for him. Turns out that he has one of the soloquiys or however you say it memorized...and he wanted to show off. So I gave in, but not before whining that I wanted a nice long part to read.
He told me to claim Hamlet. So I did.
...Its fun.
I have this thing...obsession, if you will... about reading out loud. When I'm reading on my own, I have a tendency to read a lot of the speaking parts out loud, and do different voices for each. And since I also have a tendency to switch into various accents and tones, I can at least partially pull it off. Muahahaha. So while reading in class, I slipped into a slight english accent, more old english pronunciation, and a slightly "mad"/insane attitude, and had fun. I noticed that after a while, josh had started to do the same thing with horatio.
On a flatter note, the person who got the part of the king--with all his long speeches-- incidentally has difficulty reading, mostly with pronunciation and word choice... IT was interesting. I hope I get to keep Hamlet for tomorrow...
*envisions receiving a pet hamster like Mrs. Ackroyd's suicidal one, "Sylvia", but this one named "Hamlet"...*
