hello...
everybody...
i just realised that the last seven posts of mine have all started with hello... it's a disturbing trend... i desperately need new ways to say hi...
any suggestions please tag... then we'll see how things go...
do not... i repeat do not tag...
1) hello!!
2) oh hello...
3) oh hello there...
4) oh hello everybody...
i think you get my drift... not a single ache-ee-ell-ell-oh should be seen....
oh yes... i have my GP paper tomorrow... and i just got back from Popular...
imagine me shock when i realised that all my pens were down to the very last drop of ink...
see... procrastination at work... oh well... pigs will be pigs...
haha... hear me snort...
just read The Witches... by Roald Dahl... yes i get comfort and entertainment out of reading childrens' novels... and yes despite that i do have a life...
anyways... i just realised that the book is rather much darker when read from an adult perspective... positive... hopeful... but also very human in it's darkness...
so the dear boy gets turned into a mouse... yes he certainly has great adventures... like getting rid of the Grand High Witch and her entourage... yet... he's given only another nine years to live... imagine that to a boy no more than ten...
and what does he say to his dear grandmamma...?
"How old are you, Grandmamma?" I asked.
"I'm eighty-six," she replied.
"Will you live another eight or nine years?"
"I might," she said. "With a bit of luck."
"You've got to," I said. " Because by then I'll be a very old mouse and you'll be a very old grandmother and soon after that we'll both die together."
maybe that's the where the endearing quality of Roald Dahl's literature lies... he captures... pretty effectively... the very essence of human life and emotions... but from and for a child's perspective...
nice...
i should re-read his books... maybe i'll see things i didn't see before...
as well as i should re-read all my notes, texts and stuff... and hopefully... i'll be able to do really well for A's...
haha... if only things were that easy...
the fact that i'm writing this proves my point... i should lock myself up in school everyday... that gets more work done...
alrighty then... i'll be off... zzz...
charlie leaves the computer... and walks to his room and bed...
sees a pile of clothing on the floor before the bed but chooses not to keep them...
reaches for the switch... and then all is dark...
the sound of a heavy footfall muffled by a mass of soft fabric...
CHARLIE: whoa!
thunk...
CHARLIE: ouch! my headrrggllmmbf...
thump...
in the emerging light as the moon emerges from the clouds the silhouette of a figure sprawled awkwardly over the bed can be discerned...
ok i know the whole thing fell flat...
i'm sorry... just humour me with a few laughs please...
like this...
hah...
hah...
hah...
