Conforming Non-Conformists

"When we arrive at eternity’s shore

Where death is just a memory and tears are no more

We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring

Your bride will come together and we’ll sing

You’re beautiful."

I like this picture. Not only do I like that it sparkles (of course), and that it looks as though her body was photoshopped, but I also just like the simplicity of it's message amidst all the sparkle. I think I'm begining a little of a feminism kick. In a good way. I finally purchased Captivating, and am very much looking forward to reading it. I need it.

I cannot even express how fantastic it feels to be in a class with people like me. Today in Literature, we were given five minutes to write a few things about the reviews we chose for Sorcerer's Stone. The entire time I just listened in to the two girls behind me discussing A Very Potter Musical. Oh. Goodness. I joined their small group for the next activity.

Some of the negative reviews we found online seemed to be written by ignorant readers who wrote these spiteful reviews about hating the book just because they didn't want to join the hype. This was just a personal opinion, but someone raised their hand and brought this up. Then we got into this whole thing about conforming non-conformists. Have you ever been a conforming non-conformist? I know I have. Those were in my younger days, though. Tehe.

Then! Then! We were discussing classic literature vs. contemporary, and how a lot that is popular now is just a fad and will fade out. Someone mentioned how they thought Twilight would fade out, and another girl mumbled, "I sure hope so." Bahaha. =]]

Next order of business. Conan O' Brien is one classy guy. Amidst all these NBC rumors, he released this letter to the population of the world. I always did like this man more than Leno. He just keeps supporting my opinion more and more with all this drama. Keep it classy, Conan.

Now for an insult:

"Lets meet as little as we can."

- As You Like It

I know this isn't fancily worded, but I find its blunt nature to be quite humorous.

I will leave you with one of my favorite poems by E.E. Cummings. I remember the first day I read this peom, when Katie introduced me to the brillaince that is E.E. Cummings. I have yet to find a poet that utilizes the parenthesis more than he. If you cannot figure it out, have no fear. I will explain next blog.
