"Ohh! OOOhhh!!!-Oh and again! I made it. I know it. I can't see it but I know I made it. Oh my God I made it. Alright, don't give up. This is for everything. This is when I don't have to do it. This one right here is when I don't have to do it, which leaves nothing else but the one. No I don't think so. Not there. God I wish I could turn the volume-OH **** Aahhh son of a **** I talk too much. ****." - 00vega -
Counting down to Christmas:
I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

"what if?" - basically, how things could differ nowadays and so on from small changes in the past. Greece losing to Persia, Alexander the great dying 10 years early (like he should've. He was seconds from being executed at battle before a comrade saved him) etc.
And "Platos Republic" - best philosophical book ever.

Let me guess, are you guys talking about Nick Hornby? I haven't read anything other than Slam, but I'm definitely planning to. From what I've seen, he's a very capturing and amusing writer. How good is About A Boy?

The Lone Drow from The Hunter's Blades Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore.
I'm a fantasy geek on the inside. I don't own any figurines and I don't play D&D or anything like that, though, so don't worry.

Amen to that - they took a brilliant book and destroyed it with a ****ty film.
This is why I don't want to watch the Golden Compass, the film version of Philip Pullman's Northern Lights. Apparantly it's not a patch on the book - which, btw, I would highly recommend to any fantasy fans here. The Dark Materials Trilogy is amazing ( The Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife, & The Amber Spyglass) .

I thouroughly enjoyed it, but don't go watching the film version - it's crap. Also, if you do get the chance, try High Fidelity.

I am the only one of my kind. An oddity; unique. An abberation. Do you know what it's like? To be utterly alone? So alone...Is it any wonder I scream with rage and sorrow?

Nothing that isn't for class, sadly: Life as Literature (Nehemas), A History of Chinese Civilization (Gernet), and a collection of essays by Bahktin.
I should be finishing up Lone Wolf and Cub but noooooo.

I am reading Frankenstein (The play) for school English class, but in my spare time I am reading "Market Blues", a book that I am going to read in school soon, I decided to read it now and when all the assignments come, I'll know what do to.

“When freedom shivers in the cold shadow of true peril, it’s always the patriots who first hear the call. When loss of liberty is looming, as it is now the siren sounds first in the hearts of freedom’s vanguard.” - Charlton Heston
