Get Crackin' | Wow, I've had one of those posting-lapses again!
Quite a few things have happened since I last posted here, I guess. The attacks on London in recent days have been upsetting, although I never felt particularly upset about them. The feeling I had was the kind of feeling you'd get when something bad happens that you've been expecting. It's not a sudden shock, it's just a kind of dull disappointment. These events are always terrible and unjustified, but they are a part of the world, like earthquakes and plagues. Sometimes things like this upset me and sometimes they don't, but they always somehow manage to bring me back down to earth - they never let me forget that there's seemingly no end to humanity's stupidity and cruelty. I always knew this, but being reminded is never nice.
I started reading Nineteen Eighty-Four again. The reason I'd read it in the first place was because I was viewing a web site that was related to political literature. Although I had reading long texts online, I'd actually read two entire novels from my screen (Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four). So I finally went out and purchased both yesterday, which gave me some satisfaction, considering that I haven't bought a novel in quite a long time.
I also spent a lot of money on a haircut yesterday...more than I've ever spent on something like that. I guess I just wanted something different and I got it, pretty much. In actual fact, I didn't quite get what I wanted, but my hair wasn't really long enough. So now my hair is kind of...I don't know. It kind of goes forward a little and it's straight and a little spikey and sits at all different lengths everywhere. I'm happy with it, anyway.
Oh, and, I had a voice chat with Annie, Mimmi and JJ the other night. Very interesting. We were using Skype and unfortunately it wouldn't work with all four of us at once. So we had to take turns or something. It was pretty funny, especially hearing Mimmi and Annie at the same time - I tell you, if I were having a discussion with them in person, any innocence that I have left would soon be gone. Very funny, though. Not only are OBers highly attractive, but so far they seem to sound it too. ~_^
That's about it from me at the moment, I think. *tips hat*
Kitty: Oh, don't take it so literally. Did my analogy make sense at all? ~_^
Annie: Yeah, you bet your ass. I have every intention of getting these things moving, even if it takes forever!
Alexus: I think I'm going to let that domain lapse and focus on getting an umbrella domain instead. That way I can do "killing-bill.whatever.com". But who knows - I may keep it and just get a second one. We'll see.
Sammy: Yeah, I think you're right. Although my siblings are surprisingly mature for their age (well, uh, mostly). It was mostly just like having friends around or something, so it went pretty smoothly.
John: Ahh! Someone appreciated my deliberately crude-yet-highly-accurate analogy! Thank you much. ~_^
