Of cloudless climes and starry skies

Once upon a time there was a boy. He lived in a village that no longer exists, in a house that no longer exists, on the edge of a field that no longer exists, where everything was discovered and everything was possible. A stick could be a sword. A pebble could be a diamond. A tree a castle.

Once upon a time there was a boy who lived in a house who no longer exists. They made up a thousand games. She was Queen and he was King. In the autumn light, her hair shone like a crown. The collected the world in small handfuls. When the sky grew dark, they parted with leaves in their hair.

READ IT READ IT. The book, I mean.

"When will you learn that there isn't a word for everything?"

Again, I demand you read it.

Now I am going to continue reading it. Screw homework and my ambitious plan of completing homework by Monday. I just knew it wasn't possible. Oh well.

P.S. I now have a slightly less-than-ambitious plan which is to finish homework by 2359 Sunday 13th September.

[edit]

OMG have I told anyone how I hate doing journal entries? Well, since the teachers are not going to mark it, why make us do it?

Seriously if they don't want model and morally correct answers from us but what we really think (uh since when do they want to know that), why bother asking us to do? Obviously everyone would give the same thing since we're talking about model answer here, aren't we? Really, it isn't wise to tell us we'll get penalised if we don't answer questions asked. It's our grades here and frankly, that's all we care about so no I don't think anyone will risk it and write something wise instead.

For a change, and to make sure I get my marks, I should try saying something like

"I know the article is correct because it's from a credible magazine, but you know, just to be really really really really sure and stuff, I will definitely check with my toilet bowl. It gives me the most perfect answers and updates me on things happening in the world in a way that the Internet, newspaper and magazines cannot."

Seriously. Other than books, magazines, Internet and newspapers, what else can we look for more info or check the reliability (like the questions require) of the article? I'm just as sick writing the same thing over and over again for all the entries as the teachers are of reading them. Only probably the teachers have a lot more to read from all the classes than I have to write. But I don't care, I'm not going to acknowledge it and you're going to pretend you have no idea as well.

Maybe I'll just regret posting this tomorrow because I think I sound really really...urgh, I don't know. Asshole, yeah that's the word. I sound like an asshole.

profile Suhui 13 02 95 I think autumn is the prettiest season. Sometimes we hold the attention of so many, but when we speak, we probably just want that one person to hear us.
