cherryI'm baaaaaack. Miss me?
No? Didn't think so.
Okay. Now that that's cleared up... You people write too bloody much. ::G:: I still have a couple of pages to sort through, and I missed most of the things I'd have liked to comment on, or they've gotten so many replies that my wading in at this point would be kind of ridiculous.
Went up to the lake for the Canada Day long weekend, and a bit more. Was the only person who actually went in the water because my brother can barely swim a stroke, my mom and dad hate the water, and my sister is always afraid of wrecking her hair and makeup.
I've got my summer reading list now. I've read 'Animal Farm', because it only took about an hour. I was hoping for a nice story about animals taking over a farm and learning to work together.
Well. I shouldn't have expected that from an AP English course, should I? It's about dictatorship, willful blindness, and pigs who learn to walk on their hind legs (whose leader is a boar ever so subtly named 'Napoleon'). The ending, which is supposed to have shock value, is woefully apparent from quite a ways back.
Not that it's not a good book. It is. It's very well written, and there's a reason it's a classic. It's just not my cup of tea.

Date: 2002-07-04 09:42 pm (UTC)See, I'm strange that way. I like my stories to be... Well, stories. Political commentary, I'd rather read in an article.
And as for cramming all of your work into one day... I tend to do that, too. ::G:: The odds were looking good that I'd have to read all of my AP list the week before school started. So I decided that that wouldn't be the most fun possible.
Eh, I've one done, anyways.
