this post is completely different form the one I published this morning. (although it is a new day)
Its nice to have someone there who understands- there isn't one person who understands everything- i get that now.. i'm not going to find one person who understands how i feel about everything and i'm okay with that.
I have a reading buddy :o)
and after looking through wikipedia three minutes ago.. i want to read the entire list of books that were banned. that's one of my 'things to do before i die' read all the banned books.. i don't knwo whether to limit that to banned in america though.. i don't think i will. i dunno.
the problem with reading novels in translation is that i don't know what the good translations are.. and which ones are crappy. i've been wanting to read my russians for a while now.. and I don't know what copies to pick up.. because well.. translations make a difference. maybe i should find some crazy russian literature professor and ask them. maybe.
maybe there's a reason why the song "getting better" is stuck in my head?
i'm still confused.. but i'm okay with the confusion.
it's good to have good friends- or people with the potential to be great friends.
the gilda radner quote we used in the lit mag (the one that's on my facebook) applies so well.
funny how change is stagnant.
"Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity."

If you hear about a translation for The Brothers Karamazov that is superior, please let your readership know (or at least this particular readership).
i remember that day we chose from quotes. why have i stopped adding quotes to my list, to my ipod? i have trouble getting myself to use the thing lately, to even look at it.
i wish i could read right now. wish i could focus on ANYTHING written. i guess sometimes you also just can't read. bleccch.
your word verification is always so freaking SKEWED. of course it's going to think i didn't enter the letters correctly. Because THOSE AREN'T REAL LETTERS. not on my keyboard, they aren't.
