Energy Rush!

I have so much freaking energy! This is a problem, for my mother thinks its time to quiet down and go to sleep.... but I'm like, at the point that my legs are wiggling really bad cause it's the best way to get rid of some energy. Meh, wide awake! I took too many naps today. My mom lied to me! I still have two days left of the antibiotic that leaves this wicked bad taste in my mouth for the entire day.... and night. It sucks.

Meh, decided to type whatever lines came next. Actually, I completely agree that it takes pain to see true beauty. I mean, there's an equilibrium.

I love that song. I love all their songs actually. They're freaking awesome. Like magpies.

I had the weirdest dream last night. It included becoming friends and having discussions with a magpie that rode a bicycle. I love funny dreams. Always exciting when I can actually remember the good ones. Plus, while I was having it, it really did seem like reality. The magpie turned into a human and took a picture of me to remember me, cause it was just visiting on vacation.

For more about magpies, my best friend Kirsten has a dog. Her dog killed a magpie like a month ago. So like, it's mate (they mate for life if you don't know) attacks the dog every time the dog goes outside. It angers Kirsten. I think it's fair. Also I think it's kinda funny. Also, completely justified. Teach that dog a lesson. I'm glad Chipper can't kill things to save his life. LOL, k, so like, now and then Chip will find a bug, and like, he'll play with it for the longest time. And like, he'll pick it up with his mouth and carefully carry it wherever he wants to play with it, and you can tell he's just curious and really not trying to hurt it.... but when it's a spider it tends to die. Once he had a beetle. I think the beetle actually wandered off alive. So like, if there's a spider inside and Chip is in the room, I just point it out to Chip so I can grab a kleenex and know where it is when I come back. Good times. I feel kinda bad for the insects, but then, they don't really have much mental capacity. Plus I kinda hate them.

I hate that Michael Jackson is on the news. Ha ha ha ha, dude, so when I was two, I was at Disneyland and he came. So like, I don't remember of course, but my parents say that he was ridiculous about security even back then.

I also hate Michael Moore. For a great book on Moore, find Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man. Ha ha, lists like his job record.... dude, he can't freaking hold down a job to save his life. Pathetic. And like, he worked for GM I think and got fired.... so guess what, he made a documentary bashing them. http://www.moorelies.com/ That's the website of one of the authors. I'm gonna buy the book. Glad it's in paperback now, cause I'm a cheapskate. OH! Erin, dude, I think I figured out what I'm gonna get.... there's this AMAZING book all about Hamlet.... *drools* like, it looks so good...... Hamlet's Perfection dude, I crave it. Oh, more on books, I've heard good things about How To Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) and I love Coulter so I think I'm gonna like, check it out from the library (cheap, remember?).

Oooh, thunderstorm! I love thunder. And rain.

So right now I'm reading Dante's Inferno. Here are some awesome quotes I shall share.

Just as a swimmer, who with his last breath
flounders ashore from perilous seas, might turn
to memorize the wide water of his death


each footfall rose above the last.
ISN'T THAT AWESOME?!?! Like.... he's hurrying up a mountain.... DUDE it like.... DUDE.... so much better than what authors today would say... some contrite statement like "I ran up the mountain"

She tracks down all, kills all, and knows no glut,
but, feeding, she grows hungrier than she was.
GEE... that's about one of the three beasts that represent incontinence, fraud, and violence (yes, I cheated with the footnote).

souls in fire and yet content in fire,
knowing that whensoever it may be
they yet will mount into the blessed choir.

your soul is sunken in that cowardice
that bears down many men, turning their course
and resolution by imagined perils,
as his own shadow turns the frightened horse.
ha ha! DUDE! GEE! It just makes me happy.

Know then, O waiting and compassionate soul,
that is to fear which has the power to harm,
and nothing else is fearful even in Hell.

"Master, what gnaws at them so hideously
their lamentation stuns the very air?"
"They have no hope of death," he answered me.

they yearn for what they fear
Just can really relate to that, ya know.

Wherever I turn away from grief I turn to grief again.

the more a thing is perfect
the more it feels of pleasure and of pain


I'm up to Canto VIII, it goes to Canto XXXIV, so I have plenty more quotes that I shall have by the end. I shall put them in my book quotes book! But I want to like, organize it by book, so that'll have to wait till I finish this big book of Nietzsche's writings.

Anywho, now I crave THE INFERNO... ha ha ha, so I'm gonna go read now. Oh, but I really like the way John Ciardi translates it. Like, he's completely abandoned the rhyme which is necessary to pull out the meaning. So like, it impresses me. I have another version that I'll compare to when I'm done and stuff. That version I got from a teacher, so I dunno.... but it was the "Not my AP teacher" one, so I don't trust her judgement. lol... yeah, she was retiring so she like, got rid of a bunch of her books.

TO BED WITH ME!
