Only one essay?! My 6th form English teacher assigned us an essay on this book every other day! It made what would have been an enjoyable book, loathsome.

There were a lot of books that I hated in high school that I quite like now, I'm not sure if thats because I'm older or if its because I'm no longer being forced to read them.

Mk, no touching plz.
On the subject of books for essays.... We had to do 'The Lovely Bones' last year, and I actually really liked the book. It's one of my faves tbh, I thoroughly enjoyed reading and writing about it.
We have cool teachers.

Unless it's "Dispossessed", cos that's just sh!thouse (MNS, did you have to do that?)
Or Of Mice and Men (painful)
Or 100 Years Of Solitude (incest = NOT NECESSARY!!!!! Although I realise that most people love that book, so maybe it simply was because I studied it!)
Or Chaucer...cos I studied the General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales and that was still friggen AWESOME!
Actually, I generally find that 'classics' often just suck. Because Don Quixote was pretty damn painful too...or maybe that's just a trend with my spanish lit subjects hmmmm....I always make a point of trying to finish books, but Don Quixote is the only one I can remember not finishing out of painful boredom!

John Malkovich is pretty good in that, from memory.
B: Despite being ill for most of it, had a good weekend, helped 2 friends (who didn't know eachother before I interfered mwahaha) solve a mutual problem, managed to repack everything into my bags before I travel later today/tomorrow and managed to meet some very friendly squirrels who told me to hide lots of nutella in Aston's house

Dispossessed is Ursula le Guin, yes? Did not know that she managed to get expelled twice from the same place. Pretty good going actually....

Not the Dispossessed that I studied. It was a novel written in blank verse about a bankrupt farming family when the bank was trying to buy back the house and everything was a metaphor for everything, and what wasn't was a foreshadowing, it was all juxtaposed, and even without all that, it was boring as batsh!t. Because, really, the cat throwing up on the doorstop is NOT symbolic of the bank repossessing the house!!!!

Not that crappy private I am grounded in a compact mansion-like prison on my own with guards safe from the other bad people jail Also I recently found a song called Fire
By Scooter, it's so awesome I had to use it for my first public performance that last saturday. My old exchange student told me that in germany they would make fun of you for listening to scooter even though he's from there no one there listens to him XDEDITED_BY: SpinnerofDetroit (1274843887)

I don't know anyone other than my old exchange student that knows Scooter, it was kind of a find. I pretty much just looked for a song named fire cause I was bored The only luck is bad luck.

Went to Frankenmuth today for German club. It's an old German settlement. Oh my lord it's been so long since I've stuffed myself with that much food. Probably not since the hiking trip up the Alps in Leutasch when I ate 17 schnitzels, and fries XD, and lots of Kraut when the schnitzel was gone
I will never understand how I ate so much food in one sitting o0 Also the beer was good
and legal

NOT a good way to get the media on side. And trust me, you need the media on side for this project.
