BioI know you're reading this bio because I'm the coolest person ever and you want to know more about me. I desperately want to be done with high school, I despise math, love english/french/history/photography/whatnot. I am a horrible procrastinator, seeing as I'm revising my bio on lj instead of studying for an english test. I have two crazy (but lovable) parents, an insane older sister, a psycotic dog, an obscenely large cat, and a tiny, psycotic, but incredibly lovable cat (who sleeps next to my head, unlike the other who will literally sleep on top of me). I clash on a regular basis, and that doesn't bother me nearly as much as it bothers my friends. Though I am pretty much a social failure, I have actually managed to be asked to a dance once. I'm an obsessive juggler who will try to juggle anything you give me 3 of. And if you couldn't tell it from reading this, my attention span has shortened drastically over the last few years.
I'm a pretty random person, and in english we just read Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (by Tom Stoppard), which is an absurdist work, and i throughly enjoyed it (i read rosencrantz). Here they're trying to figure out which way is which direction to see where they came from, by studying the wind.
ros: It's coming up throught the floor. (he studies the floor.) That can't be south, can it?
guil: That's not a direction. Lick your toe and wave it around a bit.
(ros considers the distance of his foot)
ros: No, I think you'd have to lick it for me.
(pause)
guil: I'm prepared to let the whole matter drop.
ros: Or I could lick yours, of course.
guil: No thank you.
ros: I'll even wave it around for you.
guil: What in God's name is the matter with you?
ros: Just being friendly.
(if this didnt make you laugh, you clearly don't appericate absurdist work).
Or how about this:
guil:...A Chinaman of the T'ang Dynasty-and, by which definition, a philosopher-dreamed he was a butterfly, and from that moment he was never quite sure that he was not a butterfly dreaming it was a Chinese philosopher....
All fascinating to you, I'm sure.
