   Romanticism
Listening to: Good Charlotte "My Bloody Valentine" (Billy the guitarist is the reason behind my obsession w/ goth punk boys ^_^)

Finally, after slaving away for hours, I am done w/ my paper for English 200! Our assignment was to write about the significance of a word, a single word, in one of the stories we've read: Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher," Hawthorne's "The Minister's Black Veil" and "The Birthmark," or Melville's "The Bell-Tower." I picked Poe since I know that I can analyze him to death and still love his stories. My word was "gloom," which seemed like an easy choice until you realize that you have to generate 5 pages of good content. It makes the response papers for my other English class seem like a breeze. Don't get me wrong. It sounds like I'm complaining about my English classes, but in reality, I enjoy them. We're studying Romantic writers in both classes, and I love all the works especially the British poetry (Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Keats, Shelley...all gods). I guess you'd expected that from a self-proclaimed Romantic. Today was the perfect day to write my Poe paper though: "It was a dark, dull, and soundless day."
