words i like


The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.
Kurt Vonnegut, — A Man Without a Country, 2005


That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

on my bookshelf

one reason i love the holidays so much is the fact that i get to read to my heart's content, much to the dismay of my father and sister who wish i would "be here with them" instead of living in the fictional worlds which i love so much. i have read three books so far, and all of them are worth reading.

first up on my list was: the clockwork prince by cassandra clare. it is the second book in a trilogy titled the infernal devices. these books are a prequel to the best-selling series the mortal instruments which is another series i love a lot and think you all should read. this book left me hanging and broke my heart a little. i want tessa to end up with will although i love jem. the whole situation is just sad. she does a good job of writing a good love triangle. im extremely anxious for the final book in the series to come, but i have to wait a WHOLE year. oh well, as much as i hate waiting for a book in a series, i also love it. there's nothing like speculating and anticipating how a beloved series is going to end. it makes me miss harry potter.

second to be read was: the picture of dorian gray by oscar wilde. it is a dark book that showed me a whole new way to look at the world. while not my favorite book ever, it was a quick read and i liked it. it has a lot of good life lessons in it, and oscar wilde is witty and i enjoyed his writing style.

the third book i read and now i am obsessed is: JANE EYRE. i can't believe i had never read it before. i loved mr. rochester and loved jane even more. she is passionate and bold and loves deeply. and i loved the way they loved each other. i am a sucker for love stories and this one thrilled me! thank you alexis for telling me to read this book. it has become one of my favorites.


“Thank you, Mr. Rochester, for your great kindness. I am strangely glad to get back again to you: and wherever you are is my home—my only home.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre


“I had not intended to love him; the reader knows I had wrought hard to extirpate from my soul the germs of love there detected; and now, at the first renewed view of him, they spontaneously revived, great and strong! He made me love him without looking at me.” 
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Not a human being that ever lived could wish to be loved better than I was loved; and him who thus loved me I absolutely worshipped.
-Jane Eyre

love story

and one more thing...

one day i am going to have an EPIC love story.

because as they say

"the greatest love story ever told is YOUR OWN"

that's all.


Venting

Writing might become the death of Melanie Duffy.  It just took me six hours to write a three freaking page paper on a stupid little poem. The first few hours were spent changing the poem I was doing about six times. The next three were spent trying to get my mind to remember how to write correctly. And now I have finally finished and you know what? I think it kind of sucks. But I don't care at this point. And now I am venting whilst writing some more! Gosh. I can't escape. akljshdfalkjsdhflakjsdhflaksjdhaui sdjfhaklsjdhflkasjdhfaklsjdfh asdkljf askjdfh alksjdh aksdjfh alksdjhf laksdjh alksdjf alksdjf alksjdf alksdjf aklsdjf alksdjhf alksjdf alksjdh alksdjhfalksjdhf alksdjhf alksdjhf alksdjhf alksdjhfa lksdjfhal ksdjhfa lksdjhafl kds!

Here is how happy I was this weekend before the paper. Hopefully I can feel this way again sometime soon.

Well I hope everyone is having a great day. Good luck with finals. Let's all party over Christmas Break.
