NOOOOOOOO!!!

Posted by pariah at 09:47 PM on February 10, 2004.

Why am I out of Hornblower novels? Why? They're goddamn addicting. And now I have no more of them to read
This is God's way of telling me to read that book I'm supposed to be reading for English.
Also, I got my report card. Yes, now, just today, because I owed $110 to the school. And my parents seem to think that's a bad thing. Anyhow, as my GPA is none of your business, I will only say that it's better than yours Hah.
Also, you know what I don't understand? Slash. What's the point of making two straight people gay so that they can live out your sexual fantasies in your head.
I may have just answered my own question.

Okay, the title is just a line from Law and Order that I can't stop laughing about it. All I do nowadays is read and watch Law and Order. Senioritis, possibly? Or maybe that's just what I've always done.
I'm thinking about getting a paid account, as I suddenly have $1.7 grand that I don't know what to spend on. Well, that's what's in my bank account, anyway. So, I figure I should spend it on something. Besides, I'm a control freak.
Also, I cannot stand Love in the Time of Cholera. It just gets on my nerves. IT'S SO SLOW! It's like you're supposed to wallow in the descriptions or something, it's paces like a Sunday afternoon. I hate Sunday afternoons.
So, I picked up another book, per usual. And I've just been reading that instead, romance and disease be damned!

A Little More Than Kind

Posted by pariah at 11:06 AM on February 8, 2004.

I keep debating in my head whether or not I want to open an actual journal instead of this one. Here, I can't have content, and I want to, you know, have that content thing. But realistically, I know, I'll never update, and I don't want to hog up someones space for a site I never update.
Yes.
I just suck at this site thing. I manage to have too much and too little at the same time.
Er, I finished the Prince, which I started in August, and then stopped reading inexplicably when I only had 15 or so pages left. It strikes me that Machiavelli was not Machiavellian, from what I've read of his life and political beliefs. Which, granted, isn't much.
Hmmm. I found out that Commodus was really the son of Marcus Aurelius and he did often fight in gladitorial battles. He was strangled by a wrestler at the instigation of his mistress, what fun. Still Gladiator was more accurate than I thought it was.
You know my knowledge of Rome ends with the Republic.

Lack of Interest

Posted by pariah at 10:11 PM on February 1, 2004.

I think "Penny Dreadful" would be a really good nom de guerre or similar.
I finally caved and bought the Leauge of Extraordinary Gentleman comic, volume one, and it is better than I expected. Which isn't saying much, but it is enjoyable and much darker and more accurate than the movie. By this I mean that they don't just throw in Tom Sawyer randomly, completely out of context and time period, rather, they feature his portrait once in the gallery of past "Leagues". And, Mina is not a vampire, and, as for the fact that half of the characters die at the end of their novels, it is explained that all of them faked their deaths. Well. Not perfect, but funny. And, it comes with a "Basil Halliward's Painting by Numbers: No. 1: Dorian Gray". Which is enough to make anything worthwhile, in my book. I'll probably scan it in so everyone can enjoy it. Also, because of the comic book I found the first twenty chapters of the "Varney the Vampire" saga and read them. God, I have no life.
But, as an excuse, I've been horribly sick. I might not go to school tomorrow. Apparently, singing loudly (and poorly) for the entire school is not good for a sore throat.

Originality these days.

Posted by pariah at 07:32 PM on January 22, 2004.

Wow, and I haven't been so completely ripped off in such a long time.
Voila. Compare with this.
See, people know, I'm a very tolerant person when it comes to jacking my online crap. I don't really care if you decide to take almost the same domain or use my navigation system or general layout scheme or anything like that. Well, it is sort of bothersome sometimes, but I'm not going to go on a witchhunt or something. But damn. Taking my journal title, naming the account after my domain, using my usericon, without even asking. Pfft.
So, now I don't know what to do. Have I got the right to act vindicative? Or would that be completely immature? Or both?
