Writer's Block: Dream Job

[Error: unknown template qotd]
I would discuss and write about my own Literary Theory ideas. And people would think I was freaking amazing for all the insight I have - because I have a heck of a lot.

Gah I am sleepy. It's almost 3. Why am I not in bed? DDD:

Got paid today, for another job that I wouldn't mind being my real job. A few weeks ago a friend of my mom's asked me to look at her website and just check for spelling and grammar and make a few suggestions for how she could improve it. So I did, it took me all of maybe 25 minutes to look it over and type up an email to her about what she could fix, and I got paid 50 bucks.

I could be down with a job where I make $50/25 min.

But seeing as I got paid, I bought some new books, since I don't have enough already. I just wanted something new and different. So I ended up with Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman and Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind. I have heard really great things about both so I am looking forward to reading them.

You know I think I am going to start keeping track of all the books I read this year. Maybe movies too, we'll see how ambitious I really am.

So far this year I've read: Snow Crash, Fairy Tales, I started a Barak Obama Biography and got like 2 chapters in before I decided it was a kids books XD (The line 'Many of you reading this work have only known one person in your lifetime to have held the position of president of the United States of America.' kind of gave it away), and I might have reread Twilight *cough*. And right now I am working on Sputnik Sweetheart, A Ship Made of Paper, and Catch 22.

Movies: Let the Right One In, Defiance, Strictly Sexual, The Secret Life of Bees, Repo: The Genetic Opera, Shelter, Choke, and Towelhead.

Yep. Maybe I'll review them, just for my later viewing needs. Or not. Who knows.

Also new icon, the end.

This. This kills me.

I don't understand some people's need to make love so complicated. Whether it's between a man and a woman, a black man and a white woman, a man and another man, or two women - it's all the same thing.

And when people say they think gays and lesbians should be given more rights but not allowed to marry, god I just want to scream. Their argument is that marriage is a sacred term the church uses for the union of a man and a woman. What about all those people who get married in Vegas? The church calls that sacred? And all those Atheists getting married, and Pagans, and what about the Muslims, or the Scientologists even? All those are sacred unions by the church?

And now that gay and lesbian couples in California had the chance to get married, be it only a short one, and now someone wants to come along and take that away from them? What the fuck? What is wrong with people? Do they not have anything better to do with their lives than to think how to ruin the lives of people different than them?

just bleh
