First time with topic to blog about for a while.
Reason to blog: Calvin says he checks my blog more than i update.
If noticing words are not complete sentences and very fragmented,
Reason is this:
When I read books, I become like the characters of them,
Despite what I do.
Most likely because my lack of personality
Makes me follow my surroundings -
Surroundings including books I read.
This is just way I am.
Shows influence of literature on one who has no life or characteristics.
And resorts to stealing traits of other characters.
Examples:
Catcher in the Rye: "Holden Caufield" = very pessimistic and cynical
Me = became pessimistic and cynical [criticized humans and had a miserable view on the world] after reading this
The Bell Jar: "Esther Greenwood" = clinically depressed for not much of an apparent reason; tries to commit suicide several times
Me = started to think that I could be depressed for no reason, began to look for possible disorders I could have, methods of suicide
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time: "Christopher Boone" = believes that if he saw three yellow cars in a row while riding the bus in the morning, he would have a good day, and that if he saw three red cars in a row, he'd have a bad day
Me = believes that when the lights are off in jagtime,I will have a good day, and when they are on I don't have as good of a day
I Can't Tell You: "Jake" = writes on sticky notes and pads and napkins and other forms of non-traditional stationary little private excerpts and other cute confessions
Me = began to do this more, thinking writing and notes were the best way of communication, or at least the sweetest
Diary: "Misty Marie Wilmot" = artist, causes herself pain as inspiration to create beautiful art
Me = took freezing cold showers and got no sleep in order to draw and paint better
And if you know me well enough,
What's the latest "book" i've read?
Watchmen.
Rorshach, a character you may know if you're Calvin or Jonah or Reggie (but Calvin will probably be the only one of them who reads this), talks in fragments.
As if he's taking notes. Bullet points. Cuts out all the filler words and grammatically correct structres.
Speaks like this.
Without worry or care.
Just to get out most vital information in least time.
Much more efficient.
I love it.
You've probably noticed, Calvin.
Just a few moments ago!
Told you:
"Don't want to go to algebra. Boring. No homework. Probably fall asleep."
So if you hear me in near future,
With my broken speech-
Reason is this.
life reminders for the memory-impaired.

Haha, i do the same things when i read a book. Srry for random intrusion into your blog i just clicked "Next Blog". ")
"I'm also on the swim & dive team at my school, and I also often feel out of place and I'm always faking my happiness as well. I wish I could afford a psychiatrist; I think it'd be cool to have someone to talk to like that. And I used to think about jumping off buildings too...
and I am also a sophomore!"
wow we have a lot in common. but you are mistaken its not cool at all. :( its like a person you are made to talk to and all that person cares about is the money and thinking superficial pills will make everything to a cheery happy existence and to make me no longer imagine ways to best end myself. ._. Nice meeting you. :D
Oh.
Thank you lots for that comment, it was very nice.
but to be honest, for some reason I'm only like that for movies.
In real life, I don't think I'm as emotional.
Sadly.
I remember long long ago when my father was groaning in pain about somthing, my brother and sister were by his side in tears, tending to him.
I, however, was just walking around with my toy pretending it was "flying" I guess, just minding my own business. I walked in. Started at my father. And then flew my toy back out of the room.
I've seen many tears from people eyes, yet not much emotion comes to my heart.
In movies though, I think it's because of their acting. They bring out so much emotion to the scene. Letting it out like it really was their problem. Their gestures, their expression, the way the present their words.
It just gets to me D:
