Q.f.D. (Not for the faint of heart)
Well, everyone has their influences, and I like that she is obviously influenced by Joyce. But the book isn't particularly captivating.
Mod
Well, it's just kinda meh in general. You only really know when character, the narrator, and plot is just this girl going insane, pretty much.
Mod
Ehhh, I don't feel sympathetic for the narrator, so I'm fine with her going nuts.
Grrrr...I hate seagulls or pigeons or whatever the hell those things are. They scare me. I'm getting sick of that one dude with really bad grammar. I'm getting the urge to find him and punch him. Who's here?
YAY! You seem happy! Other's happiness always makes me happy. What are you up to?
I'm trying to finish 'The Bell Jar'. Ugh. It's not good.
Awww, sorry. Well, you can just wash it away with a better book later!
Well, most of the times you seem to find books you like. Anything else going on with you?
Same here...just watching a movie online...again. There's never anything else to do, haha.
Pool? Damn, I'm jealous now. I'm not very entertaining I suppose. Haha, have fun!
Oh...I thought you meant outside. I'm here! Jeebers! I know though...
Haha. Well, I finished my book, it got a bit better.
Jeez, you read fast. I realized where I recognized the title from! It's in the movie I'm watching,haha... I'm so weird. When you say graveyard I think literally, because I live by like 10 different cemetaries. Yep,I'm from a town with more dead people then living!
That's nuts. And yeah, I guess it's a pretty famous book.
I suppose so. But it's not Davis-approved *gasp* How can the world love it so much! jk So, what exactly does your town look like, mine is just a bunch of brick and plastic houses surounded by a cemetary and then the city.
Hmmm, that describes, well, Everywhere. Do you like where you live? For some reason I get the impression you don't talk much, except maybe about politics and books.
No, I talk plenty hah. And no, I don't particularly like it.I have learned there are places to be intellectual, and there are places to not be intellectual.
And which is this? I don't think anyone really likes where they live, I know I don't. But I think I've gotten that point across...
Obviously, I love to intellectual here.
Even around my dumb ass? You don't have to be. But I suppose if you want to be...
Well, it's just that I can be, rather than restraining myself.
So, you don't act smart outside of this place? Haha, I doubt that. Seems like you're always that way. Which makes it hard for me to ramble about silly stuff, since then I feel like an idiot. It's only 11:30? Weird...my parents are already asleep. I guess I should turn my shit down then! Haha...
Haha, no I do, I'm just not always on full intellectual level.
I see...I guess if you were you'd confuse people like me, who might want to start smashing their head into a wall....whoops, did I just say that? Just Kidding...
It would be interesting to see you confuse your companions. Do they read your writing?
Haha, nope. A couple of my friends have, but not all of it.
Why not? Scared they might think you're crazy, actually, your poems are fairly normal, even though they seem slightly Life Sucks-ish.
No, not at all, I just don't go around advertising the fact that I'm a writer.
Haha, speaking of writing, figure out anything about your essay, or are you still blocked?
Nope, still essay blocked. Hopefully reading 'Consider The Lobster' will open some pathways.
Mmmmhmm...I hope it does. It sucks to be blocked. Ever write fiction?
Oh, yeah, I write tons of short stories, but I don't post 'em here.
