Actually I don't feel the whale "represents obsession"; he's far, far more of a complex allegory than that with many inscrutable layers I could write entire theses regarding, but I was trying to be pithy.
worst thing one must sacrifice to be an angsty whiner = sense of intelligence
would it kill any of the whiners to act like normal, non-dingusy people for frigging once?
Some very recent events have driven me to post this.
Nearly a year ago, I and another BZPower member who goes by the username "Nikira" announced that we were officially dating. We had fallen in love several months before and decided, upon officially entering a relationship, that we had no reason to deny it or hide it. We've made reference to it sometimes since then, because hey, it's a big part of our lives. But one thing it's never been is a spectacle or show.

Okay, someone needs to say it.
The Dark Knight wasn't all that great of a film.
Everyone on this site seems so obsessed with this movie; I do not understand why.
Yes, it was entertaining and had some nice cerebral elements which are rare in popcorn flicks, but there was nothing truly groundbreaking in the feature, and nothing very soul-searching either. It presented a nice amalgamation of techniques, both filmic and storytelling, developed by other people and other films. It is a
MY BETH
Sitting patient in the shadow
Till the blessed light shall come,
A serene and saintly presence
Sanctifies our troubled home.
Earthly joys and hopes and sorrows
Break like ripples on the strand
Of the deep and solemn river
Where her willing feet now stand.
O my sister, passing from me,
Out of human care and strife,
Leave me, as a gift, those virtues
Which have beautified your life.
Dear, bequeath me that great patience
Which has power to sustain
A cheerful, uncomplaining
Oh no, love, you're not alone!
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
You've got your head all tangled up, but if I could only make you care!
Oh no, love, you're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share; I'll help you with the pain
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
Just turn on with me...and you're not alone
Let's turn on and be -
(Wonderful) Gimme your hands, because you're wonderful
My grandfather passed away this weekend.
I'm not posting this as a plea for pity or condolences or anything; I'm not moping or crying. I've already cried; I'm not clinging to the past now. This is something that has been coming for a very long time; he's been in extremely poor health for years and been especially bad these past nine months, in and out of the hospital constantly. Grandpa had the strength of an ox, and he fought it off for a very long while, but it was just his time. He's n
...And I just went through the Comedies forum with a flamethrower. Every single topic on the front page has been scoured. It felt good, hahah.
But seriously, hey there, brothers and sisters of BZPower! It's good to see you all again. How've you been?
Five things that happened to me this weekend: :3 x3 >:B <3 <3 <3 Car crash ._. I'll elaborate more later (I'm too busy right now--have to go), but I just wanted to leave a note here saying 1. Give Nikira hugs, everyone, because she hasn't been feeling too well and 2. The word has apparently already started spreading, so to friends of mine who might be concerned: Yes, I was in a car accident, but I'm okay. I'll talk at you all soon!
And gweeee Nikira <3 <3 <3
Don't tell anyone but I'm writing ths update from the house (and computer) of the beautiful girl I mentioned in the last entry.
Oh oh she's coming back okay guys see you later :3
A beautiful woman appeared to me via IM or telephone or something (both, I think) and told me to update my blog. I told her I didn't really have anything interesting to say. She told me that I am silly and maintained that I needed to update my blog. So I am doing so.
Maybe I will make a more substantial update later?
I am writing a paper that I have entitled "The Great Oreo Cookies of Drama."
(I'm considering further specifying it by retitling it "The Great Oreo Cookies of Renaissance Drama," but what you will)
That is awesome.
Re-posting and again dedicating to a certain someone here!
A Night at the Opera by that perennial pinnacle of pure awesomeness, Queen, is perhaps my favourite album of all time--it is at very least in my top five. From the exuberantly amazing British-music-hall romp of "Seaside Rendezvous" to the breathtaking and cathartic "Bohemian Rhapsody"; from the scathing "Death on Two Legs" to the the ethereal folk/skiffle of "'39," the album is exemplary, shifting mood and genre with every track yet
This is what I did in Shakespeare class today. I also took five pages of relevant notes, but this was more fun.
Ben Johnson: Shakespeare you should write a city comedy!
Shakespeare: Johnson, please, I am so much better than that
Marcellus: Something is rotten in the state of Denmark
Horatio: Yeah, I ran out of deodorant
Hamlet: Oh hey look a ghost
Panel one
Shakespeare, to his wife: So when I die I'm going to leave you my second-favourite bed
Panel two
