I was on the verge of feeling like my
information-absorbing stage was over. Ha. Hahahahaha. (I suppose I
should stop and explain: I like to think most people go through their
childhood and sometimes young adulthood mostly absorbing things, and
then at some point they move on to being more productive that
absorbant. Not that one should ever stop absorbing things. Still.
Stupefyingly obvious yet over-simplified, I know, but ignore that for
now, that's not my point.)
There is so fucking much out there that
I still haven't read or listened to or otherwise absorbed. Not to
mention places I haven't been, but with my current schedule and in
the aftermath of returning from ten months on another continent
travel hasn't been on my mind too much (with the exception of
traveling for the purpose of seeing people rather than places.) I'm
reading a lot of Shakespeare lately for a couple of my courses, which
is good. I've been meaning to do that awhile (screams the complete
Shakespeare collection I picked up from a high school library sale
awhile back that totally isn't the
expensive-and-probably-significantly-different-in-some-way collection
required by my Shakespeare class but TOO DAMN BAD oops tangent sorry
hi I resent having to buy textbooks why can't they just put
everything we need online and do away with and/or circumvent the
copyright laws preventing such action no damnit that is not what this
post is about *headdesk*... that's better.)
I feel like I don't listen to enough
music, for one. Or at least, not a wide enough variety. (Or enough,
probably--listening to music uses up battery power faster and I don't
want to bring my laptop charger with me to school because space in my
bag is limited.) I have the internet at my fingertips, why do I not
actually sit down and really listen to Tool or Fugazi or St Vincent
or My Chemical Romance or Ministry or Skinny Puppy or other bands not
to mention orchestral music--
Damnit. This was supposed to be a
positive post. Anyway. The world itself is not only highly
entertaining, but also full of entertaining stuff people made up that
I'm totally missing out on. Actually, even more than usual wait no
you're sick of hearing about my schedule/classes. Probably. At least
I got copies of Pop Kids and Interview with the Vampire
from the library and my graphic novel pile that I want to read first
is only five six books tall? (Yes, I've never read
the second above-mentioned book. Or anything else by Anne Rice. Do
you see what I mean by not reading enough? 8D)
Um. I think I'll just stop here. Maybe
my mental flailing will be perversely entertaining to someone
somewhere somewhen. At any rate, I give you... the mentality behind
me not posting for weeks at a time! *turns up music and ponders
doing more homework before they have to do it during
ought-to-be-sleeping time
totally did do that homework during time they should've been sleeping
but oh well*
