No one ever followed his genius til it misled him. Though the result were bodily weakness, yet perhaps no one can say that the consequences were to be regretted, for these were a life in conformity to higher principles. If the day and night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal,--that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality....the true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.
--Henry David Thoreau

Oh God. I'm so bored. I should be memorising my D&T textbook for the exam now, but I have a terrible headache. Actually, I don't really feel like studying now. I'm totally bummed. Just how many types of friggin plastic is there? Who cares what they are used to make? How in the world does this help me? D&T is a stupid subject, and the teacher just makes you want to sleep. I don't understand how someone could be so old and still teach. He looks 50! My sister is hogging the better computer now, because this one doesn't have Word Document (this computer is really lousy, and the Internet connection is extremely slow) so I can't play any games. Besides, the only games I know of are really stupid and boring. I can't play DoTA because the computer lags too much, which means I have no chance of winning the game cause after lagging, the mouse goes haywire and it's a mouse-operated game. I wish I could do something productive, like watching a movie or something but there aren't many DVDs worth watching.

I watched 'Pride & Prejudice' not long ago. I just can't imagine anyone speaking the way they do in real life. Talk about complex man! There are so many characters, they just keep coming! Mr Darcy is such a proud, arrogant and "unagreeable" character. I don't understand how anyone could fall in love with him. He rarely even smiled in the movie, and when he did, it was to his sister. If a guy like him ever existed in the modern world, I would like to give him a tight slap, and hopefully leave my hand print on his face. But the ending was a little sweet at least.

Just a few weeks ago, I watched 'Lost in Translation' on TV. It was showing at night, and since it was a Saturday, I wanted to sleep late. It won an Oscar, I think, so I thought it would be a nice movie. God, I was wrong. It started off with Scarlet Johansson's ass (gross I might add) and the plot was the most boring and confusing thing ever. Most of the movie consisted of a character staring out of her hotel window. There was hardly any music playing in the background. But I bore with it until the ending, which was extremely bizarre. I would say it is one of my most hated movies, next to 'Stepford Wives', which is about robot wives in a much too perfect neighbourhood. Cyn had a nightmare about it (haha). I once watched it just to creep her out. I love making her feel like shit, she's so full of crap anyway. Just in case she asks me to kiss her ass in my tag board, I'd like to add that I can't tell the difference between her but and her face because they're so alike, so if you still want me to kiss it, tell me where is it. :)
