When you sleep where do your fingers go?
*looks around mischieviously* I'm in a weird mood. Probably because I'm running on about 4 hours of sleep for last 48 hours. I finished reading Dune...well, sort of. I'm on 425, and it's 474 pages long, not including the appendices. It's a good book, I guess. I think it could use some heavy editing if you ask me. There is so much repetition, I bet you could cut out at least 20 pages, just by reducing how many times he says something. It was annoying--Frank Herbert has this obsession with the number three; everything was said three times in a row (i.e. a feint within a feint within a feint) or had three legs or three walls. What a wack-o. I'm sure there was some big symbolic meaning behind all of it, but I'm too tired at the moment to think of it, and am trying to decide if it's really even worth it--what if the "hidden meaning" is that jell-o is good for your nails? I guess it was an enjoyable book, if I hadn't had to read it in 48 hours. Now, I have to write a paper on it. Blech. *sighs, tired*
At some point, I'm not going to have homework (after December 12th), and will be able to just dawdle all day in my blog. Yay! Um...ok...time for another quiz...
Find out what anime series you belong in.
I actually took this quiz a couple of weeks ago, I believe. Eh...ever notice the more quizzes you take to harder it is to find good ones?
Oh, and on a serious note...Nailz had asked me recently in an email if I was ok. I wasn't sure if she was jesting or was sincerely concerned. While it would be touching if she was concerned, at the same time I would be saddened. No--I have not really been myself lately...I'm all mixed up in stuff I don't know how to sort out and feel a sort of slow and steady anxiety most of the time. But, at the same time--this is not necessarily negative. I feel like I'm discovering a lot more about myself and this can only lead to good outcomes as I see it. I feel as if I have stayed the same, but everyone has changed while I've been away. A terrible sense of loneliness comes with the realisation that one is missing out on the lives of the people who they care about most, while those very people are missing out on nothing. It makes me feel selfish and want to say, "Why do I make this sacrifice and no one else?"
