Attachment


Nothing today. I start classes soon enough. Being around people will give me inspiration. I have inspiration, I just don't know how to use it yet. I'll be reading a lot of books on philosophy this quarter (not one, not fifty, but two books by Plato). And Derrida. And Breton. And Beckett. Hopefully, all this reading won't take away my light, comical stories. I don't want to lose the rare ability to make people find my stories funny. So, instead, I'm hoping I'll be able to incorporate what I've learned and make my comedies less light, and have some actual substance. Also, I want to explore new ideas, as the previous two stories I have written dealt with Absurdism and Existentialism. It could be a colossal failure of misplaced pretentiousness. (Or an worse fate, it could just not be funny.) Either way....

  1. that song is beautiful. just wonderful. that will definately be an addition to my playlist for IU. :) It actually reminds me of, excuse me for my slightly nerdy moment, my character, Sebastian, who is in a band called Sexual Tension! You'll learn all about Seb as i send you chapters.
