The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed (under link). Well let's see.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read (as in the book is bought and sitting on my shelf).
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) * If you started but didn't finish

Well I'm clearly better than the average adult. I've read 18. whoo! I'm so glad they had jude the obscure in that list, it so often goes unnoticed.

To Person reading this entry,

This is a live journal entry. You probably guessed by the URL and by the fact that it is what you expect if you are in fact on live journal. One thing I have to mention before I continue is that I do not seize the day. I am in fact a very lazy person. I spend the majority of my time woking(*). The thing is, time is running out. Much like the Muse song. I like Muse a lot, they’re different and loud. I’m a loud person so it compliments me greatly. Anyway, where was I? Ah yes, time. It is running out. You see, a bus may hit me tomorrow and there you have it. No more woking, no more watching The Bill (I don’t think the Bill screens in heaven by the definition of the word heaven), no opportunity to go to England and pose with one of the royal guard in a very sexy pose. Time is something we don’t actually have much of so it is important that I deliver the next important message.

The 2 minutes that you have just spent reading this entry is two minutes of your life you will never get back again. Ever. They are now logged in your history as the two minutes you spent reading the ramblings of a deranged teenager instead of dong something constructive. That bus is coming. Go outside, look at the view. Breathe some fresh air, kick a cat, whatever. Just get off the computer and go and talk to someone in person instead. You never know. It might make you happy.

(*) Woking. Definition: Wandering to the kitchen then completely forgetting what you went there for. [see: The Meaning of Liff – Douglas Adams and John Lloyd.]

Note: Yes, I do realise that if you spend your whole like in your house on the computer and you don’t live on a bus route the chances of you getting hit by a bus are minimal in comparison if you actually go somewhere. But come on, where’s the fun in that?

Cheerio, I’m going out.

Brontë

Oh, and this is what the world looks like, I'm off to see it.

A female voice said, "Nate O'Reily? My name is Neva Collier, and I recieved a letter from you for our friend in Brazil."

I haven't posted on here for SO long. But I couldn't care less! Been having a good january so far besides the fact I am sunburnt. I have missed the internet but my computer is a little dodgy so it's quite depressing to come on and know it could conk out at any time. hmm... conk is a fine word. I felt rpetty yesterday. It was great. I feel a little gungy right now but I felt pretty yesterday so that's all that counts. Must now write an email to the Maho Tsujimoto.

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

Last Tuesday I helped ahutchi hide a body (-173 points). Last week I donated bone marrow to barboxacon in a life-saving procedure (300 points). Last Sunday I didn't flush (-1 points). Last Thursday I punched peaches248 in the arm (-10 points). In June I gave shade_of_violet a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points).

Overall, I've been nice (166 points). For Christmas I deserve a Sony Playstation 3!

Sincerely,
eccleschik

ok so maybe i'm preempting christmas a little bit. *giggles* i do love christmas.

One day when all the dust has settled form our bitter fights we'll see clearer than before. We'll see what we've been missing and we will see the people we love standing on the sidelines and we'll run to meet them. This will be the day of peace. Yay for the day of peace.

This is that point where ur so depressed that you cna't think of any reason why you shouldn't be happy! *giggles*
I see no point to my future but thats all right, who said i had to have one?
ha di ha ha. la la la la. I hate life. I don't care about anything anymore. I don't talk properly, i don't do what I'm told i don't do work.

yuk yuk yuk. so unhappy i don't have anything to say anymore. not anything to do. th problem is, everyone else is unhappy too! =D aren't we a glorious bunch!

fuck

2006-10-30T09:32:32Z

yes i know my subject topic is just glorious. but seriously: FUCK.
I am so annoyed and unhappy. I HAAAAAAATE everything at the moment.
I hate my lack of motivation most of all. If I had motivation I'd be out playing sports, walking, making an effort to socilaize and I'd do my work. Fuck. I don't do anything,
paretns home. i was not on the internet.

eccleschik @ 2006-10-28T07:10:00

2006-10-28T07:19:26Z

*sighs*
Such a relief. I went mad from all the videos and nintendo. SO ANNOYED AT THE MO.

Jim bought one of those little round automatic vaccume cleaners. we've named it weebo like that thing out of flubber. iots kinda cute just buzzing around vaccuming.
I am alittle stressed. I need to do sose work and a pregnancy booklet. the book is due on tues. *screams* whty did i choose this subject? The sose thing is probably due soon too. CONNIE WE NEED TO DO WORK. Or you could jsut shoot me. either way.
i'm going fucking mental. my body image has gone out the window. dam dam dam.
alice and i are going to live in neighbouring hobbit holes to escape form all the thigns we don't like. our holes will have broadband.
I'm so annoyed.

2006-10-18T09:16:49Z

wow u guys are so helpful. i asked if any body had an ideas for search fr a soloist. comments? 0. i said... WHO LIKED MY PRETTY LITTLE STORY? and no one even said it sounded like i was stoned. I am offended.
I am now trying to write a story for house writing. not going very well.

*mumbles*
btw. i wanna be a prefect next year... so peoples, stop tempting me to break rules and vouch for me... please.

SFS

2006-10-16T08:38:07Z

rightio. after almost malling myself in front of a lot of people last year i've decided i'd like to go into search for a soloist this year too. (i know i'm crazy, no need to mention my lack of sanity)
I have NO idea what to sing. please post some song ideas. keep in mind, not to slow. not too fast, not too larger range, able to be accompanied by just a guitar or piano. also accompaniment has to be within music teachers capabilities. dude my head hurts.

no ideas currently.
[past ideas: waiting for my real life to begin, everybody hurts, dream a little dream, (you get the idea)]
