Winter. Winter.

Today I was reminded of my odd fascination with famous last words. I looked over some of the ones I gave in my speech last year completely about famous last words, and they made me laugh yet again.

"I've had 18 straight whiskeys, I think that's the record." - Dylan Thomas (poet)

"Either this wallpaper goes, or I do." - Oscar Wilde

When told he was going to die, Lope de Vega said, "Alright then, I'll say it: Dante makes me sick."

One of my personal favorites...

"MOOSE... INDIAN..." Henry David Thoreau

General John Cedric, a civil war general was in battle when he said, "They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist... "

"Am I dying, or is it my birthday?" Lady Nancy Astor

"I am about to -- or I am going to -- die: either expression is correct." Dominique Bouhours, French grammarian (I find this funny, but maybe it's just because it's something I would do...)

"Go away... I'm alright" H.G. Wells

"Good bye. Why am I hemorraging?" Boris Parternak (writer)

"Do you think it was the sausage?" Paul Claudel (writer)

....and I could go on. I like them. It's probably my favorite speech I have ever given.

My fascination started after I read John Green's Looking for Alaska, in which the main character was a bit of a last word genius. He knew hundreds.

You know what I love? Living in a dorm when it comes to shared iTunes playlists. When I need a break from pandora, I always have at least ten people's iTunes playlists on my fingertips. However, this has also caused me to believe I've found myself potentially very good friends. I mean, you can tell quite a bit about a person from their music taste. This is all I know about these people, but I already can tell which ones I get along with more. For the most case. I'm not being judgmental, just... does this make sense?

If all goes well, I'll be in Choir, Band, Intro to Lit (focusing entirely on Harry Potter!), and Intro to creative writing next semester. (Well, and bio and some form of math, but we'll just overlook those for now) Those four classes make me very very very quite excited. I almost want to sign up for one of the creative writing night classes that goes from 6-9:45. SO long, I know... but I think this would be fun.

Anywhovillers.

Rad: Ugly Holiday Sweaters. Probably this movie.

Unrad: Losing your chapstick countless times a day.
