"This watch belonged to my father. It's broken now, but it used to keep perfect time. And when he gave it to me, he said, 'You could set your heart by this watch.' It stopped October first- the day we met."
-Vaughn, 2.08
10-1-01- Yes, today is the day of fate and watches and love and stuff. But ONLY for Syd and Vaughn. Only. ONLY!
And that has nothing to do with the fact that today was Marcos and Gabi's year anniversary. None.
Drama was fun. We watched skits and I performed skits and gom, Steph kept making me laugh! It was crazy! Crazy fun, yo.
(And Marcos and I wore identical maroon polos today. This is the second time we've done this. Fate? I think yes.)
And in math? I stood everything. EVERYTHING. Still failed the test from last time. Janelle? Dead girl.
Went to make up my chem test during lunch. Was Barkow there? Nein. So, so miserable.
And Khausinau was fun! Yay! I love Khausinau's class.
On the literary front:
Today was a good day for me. However, since there might be people who haven't read Anna Karenina and might want to read it, I have to cut.
30 pages left of it! I am so psyched!
And? Best of all?
ANNA DIED!
SHE DIED!
I! AM! SO! FREAKING! THRILLED! I was sure I was projecting my wish for Anna's demise, so I made David reread the paragraph. Yep! Anna is dead! Eeee!
And then right after Anna dies... we go to her brother's wife's sister's husband's brother. I swear to god. It doesn't matter, though. Anna's dead, Vronsky's going off to war (hopefully to die), Annie went to Karenin... and Anna's dead!
And Macbeth died! YAY! I was very happy with that, too.

Date: 2004-10-01 08:51 pm (UTC)And I bought Anna Karenina a few months ago, because it was the Oprah edition and apparently this is ample motivation, or whatever. I read, like, the first fifteen pages, and then decided that its role in my life would be to sit on my bookshelf and make it seem like I am the highly intelligent sort who reads 1000 page books for fun. Yep. That's me.
Mad props to you for getting through it.
And poor, dead Macbeth. This just makes me want to somehow upload our Macbeth silent film from English class and show everyone. Macbeth's death was very dramatic. Or something. :)
