I could say a lot about Lord of the Flies, but instead I'm just going to say this; it's a very odd book, and not in any way beautiful, but I respect the intricately plotted symbolism and layers of meaning.

I made a face like I swallowed a lemon when I typed that, seriously.


In other news, I found a layout that I may like better! It is green. I will try it out and if it works better than this one I shall keep it. The reason I don't have new icons is that I WANT band icons, but realized that I have approx. 10,000 My Chem ones and very few from other bands, so I have to go hunting! But now I think I'll go with more generic artsy-type icons and instead install a Panic! At the Disco moodtheme. Can you do custom moodthemes with sponsored accounts? I think so. We shall find out.


So tonight, I am going to see Pirates. THIS IS NEWS TO ME. I did not know this until about two hours ago, SO. But it should still be fun. Tomorrow I will be a lazy tv-watching book-reading girl, and Sunday, I don't know, I might GO TO A CONCERT!!! If there's nothing else to do, *shrugs fake-casually*. Monday I'm going to a party at the house of one of those incredibly useful people who're vague family friends, never pester you but always invite you to their AMAZING parties on their huge properties and let you ride four-wheelers and eat steak. Those sort of people. That will be nice.


I was reminded yet again of the intricacies of teenage communication when I shared my weekend plans with people and some girl was like "Oh, the Fall Out Boy concert? Huh," to which I smiled and nodded politely. This seems like a very simple exchange, but transcribed, it would read something like this:

Girl: Oh, that band for which my artistic scene kid soul has no respect. I mock your immaturity.
Kit: I mock your delusions of grandeur. I listen to music that makes me happy, which may explain why I'm so much less of a bitch than you are.

Oh, Drama. I miss you the most when you're gone.

I hated Lord of the Flies.

I'm lucky that I have a good teacher, so that even though we had a quiz on every goddamned chapter and had to root out the symbolism in everything from the conch to the white-sand beaches, I still don't HATE the book. I would never re-read it, but I don't have the grudge over wasted time and life which leads to hate.

Lord of the Flies sucked so bad. I haaated it. Of course, taht could have to do with how I had to write a journal entry EVERY FREAKING TIME Piggy's glasses were mentioned. BAH. But it was just so pointless and mean and evil.

Yay pirates!

And I really really want to hear these bands now. Heheh

I know. I have a decent teacher and I'm kind of a geek, so I actually enjoyed talking about what the colors symbolized and changes from pink to white and red and Simon as a Christ figure, etc. etc. But I don't like the book for itself, and that's sad.

Tell me when you're off dialup! Or if you think you can handle single songs, I'll start putting up songs I'm listening to for download.

Oo, Kit, I just read a Kurt Vonnegut book, and I thought of you. It seems like something you would like. It's called Cat's Cradle.

Hmm, I'm on dialup all summer, unless I leg it in to somewhere with high-speed. But sometimes I can handle single songs. If I'm lucky. :D
