And so, another quote:

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

"The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

"Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

-V for Vendetta (film)

So with me everything's going well enough, but I'm sure it won't stay that way for long. Some time soon the work load will probably pick up, I'll be freaking out over classes and life in general, and lots pf people will be on my back for being more behind than usual. And I'll feel extremely jealous of my classmates who decided to slack off this year instead of actually take classes.

I also want to note that I'm planning to get more writing done by the end of this month, a painting done for a friend's birthday in October, and maybe I'll get to blow something up for my brother's birthday, which is the Fifth of November.

I talked to someone who offered a lot of essay-writing contests today. The only thing was that I didn't really like any of the themes of the contests, because I figured they were too limiting and all asking for a more serious, sincere sounding tone that I'm not really that good at in writing or even speaking.

:wakeup2: Now, a humorous, sincere tone is something I can do. I think the fact is that I actually do think seriously, but I don't like to let it get to me. Whatever. I'm sure I'm not helping myself by trying to give myself a mental diganosis.

I'm wondering how the following year will all play out. Right now, it doesn't look so good.

And so now I've got to find a canvas for that painting I was talking about...
