Georgiana Darcy

If I were asked what fictional character I resemble the most I would answer Georgina Darcy.

Easily persuaded, yes?

sherlock

Last night I had a dream about Sherlock Holmes, well it wasn't really about him, he was just in it, and it was awesome.

So this burglar/murderer breaks in my house and I'm really scared and so Sherlock Holmes comes and I feel relieved. Then Sherlock abandons me, and I'm left all on my own with this criminal, so I push the police button on my alarm thing, and the police come. The end.

It doesn't seem so exciting, but when it was happening it was so cool. Trust me I was there.
I know that Sherlock's cooler than that though, he would have actually helped me instead of running away or whatever.

Oh by the way I saw the Sherlock thingy the BBC did with Benedict Cumberbatch (what an incredible name really!) and Martin Freeman (Aurthur Dent and Jim in the original The Office, except his character's name is Tim). (This is probably why I had that dream.) I really liked it. There was a lot more talking and a lot less action than the Hollywood version. I liked this pair better too, even though the Hollywood pair is a lot better to look at. Plus it's produced by Steven Moffat, producer and writer of Doctor Who. Most of my favorite Who episodes are written by him, I've noticed so that helps.

Random Ranting: Summer Reading

I've been reading a lot of depressing books, with depressed/bitter characters.I think that's the reason why I've been so depressed recently. I've also been reading a lot of English romances from the 17 and 18oos. They've made me quite bitter.

Here's a list of all the books I've read since I got out of summer vacation.
Catcher in the Rye
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Northanger Abbey
Franny and Zooey
Persuasion
Everything is Illuminated
Jane Eyre
Wuthering Heights
The Virgin Suicides
Nine Stories

And I'm making my way through Seymour: An Introduction. I already read Raise High the Roof Beam Carpenters. I've really liked all of the books I've read, well the first half of The Picture of Dorian Gray is boring, but then it gets interesting till you know who gets killed, even though he was my favorite character. And I hated ALL the characters in Wuthering Heights, except Hareton and Mr. Linton, and I felt impartial towards Cathy Jr. and the narrators. I've still got to read Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, and The Mysteries of Udolpho. Oh and David Copperfield, but I'm probably never gonna finish that one, maybe I'll finish it next since I'm not in the mood for romances. blahhhhh It's so hard picking a favorite out of the ones I really liked. Although I can tell you which is my favorite of the Nine Stories. It's "Just Before the War with the Eskimos." There's a lot of blood in that one. jk...not really. I realized today that I quite like the look of blood, it's nice. I'm not repulsed by it. I should be a doctor. I'd suck though, I'd kill everyone, even the ones who come to me with a cold. As much as I'd like to, it's best if I stay away from that profession, plus I'd have to deal with people. I'm no good with people.

Ok I think I can choose a favorite now. The Catcher in the Rye. I don't think I was bored by that one, not once. I really enjoyed it. I understand why Holden thinks everything is phony. I say "I don't approve," he say "phony." I almost chose The Virgin Suicides, that one was great, probably the most beautiful book I have ever read, the movie is my favorite (in a tie with Ratatouille). And it's about obsessions, and I'm pretty obsessive. Actually I became obsessed, with the story, i'd rather not day how, I'm am less than an amateur at being inspired. The day I finished reading that one I became very depressed for some reason. Then there's Everything is Illuminated. Now let me say that Alexander Perchov is the most premium character EVER and "Jon-fen" Safran Foer is a first-rate writer. Premium. I LOVED Everything is Illuminated, the first three chapters where boring though, because I didn't really understand the format in which it was written, so I didn't know what was going on. Then I realized, and how genius the format is. I don't think the first three chapters will be boring if I choose to re-read it, which I will. There were some parts that were a bit explicit, but hey this is the 21st century, and I'm 17, so I think old enough to read this book, I've seen worse than what I read. (I've actually put down The Shining and Breaking Dawn, because I think they're too much, but I was younger then, and those books aren't as great as Everything is Illuminated, there's a point to Everything is Illuminated, and it's actually worth your time and money, I'm glad I didn't read it when I first heard of it though, I probably wouldn't have been old enough to understand, but you never know I was a pretty cool little kid I listened to Sigur Ros and Blonde Redhead.) ok enough of my blabbing I'll rank the rest. I think the first three spots will be constantly changing.

1. The Catcher in the Rye
2. The Virgin Suicides
3. Everything is Illuminated
4. Jane Eyre
5. Franny and Zooey
6. Nine Stories
7. Northanger Abbey
8. Persuasion
9.The Picture of Dorian Gray
10. Wuthering Heights (The Kate Bush song is great though, I didn't like it the first or second time I heard it. Patrick Wold and Jonas Bjerre would always mention her and I though I should listen. Then I read this book and I though, "Hmm is the song based on the book?" It is. I actually have it stuck in my head. I'm gonna go watch the video after I finish typing this. I love it how she dances in the video, especially in the one with the red dress, I'll embed it. I did like the ending though, everyone dies, and Hareton Earnshaw learns how to read yay!)



Isn't it great? She's got moves. And she's so expressive it's just great! I'm being serious. Really.

P.S. I wish I were a member of the Glass family (I want that last name!), by blood or marriage, I don't care which way. If only they were real. sigh.

P.P.S. Film is a bit closer to reality (not really). The Tenebaums are a lot like the Glass family, but their last name isn't Glass! oh well. I like dysfucntional families, they're usually interesting when depicted in film and literature. If only my dysfunctional family were half as interesting as the Glass family or the Tenebaums, but no.

Oh and J.D. Salinger is my favorite writer at the moment. Maybe he always will be, but I need to investigate a bit more, so if this changes I will mention it. I think I should subscribe to the New Yorker. Salinger, Foer, and Eugenides have had stories featured in The New Yorker. Nah...it's to expensive, maybe when I get a job.

Ok this is a bit too long.

she's baaaaaaack

I guess I'm not psychic. I dreamed that there would be red and orange all around, oh and Jonna Lee was my mother, which is weird because she's a bit too young (by a few years) to be my mother. lol
