Far too many adults have recently asked me what Twitter is. And I really couldn't give them a good answer. In short, it's that thing that only old people use.

snoopyiscool

I had a twitter a long long time ago, but I deleted it.

What's with all the semi-colons? Pretentious American swine.

Snoop, have you done acid-base equilibria?

I'm from the same city as Margaret Atwood, and she's only, you know, the best living Canadian author. She lives in a chic neighborhood. LOL.

We just started. It seems easy enough.

Atwood! I could've written about The Handmaid's Tale! God, I feel stupid.

Who or what is Margaret Atwood?

I think I shall retire early this eve. I'm actually interested in finishing The Count of Monte Cristo.

I am extremely confused with everything involving acids and bases. Hate.

I'm going to start reading The Handmaid's Tale this week. My English class whipped through Macbeth in no more than 6 classes because we're behind schedule. I don't mind skipping the Shakespeare, really.

The Haindmaid's Tale, sigh. When I read that book, I felt like the author was shouting at me. Every girl in the class omgluved it, but I don't know, it seemed sort of trite to me. It seemed like 1984 had been rewritten with a sensationalist, feminist slant.

snoopyiscool

It was alright. I didn't think feminism was being shoved in my face.

Patriarchy.

I personally find that Margaret Atwood's style isn't that great. She's only ever able to write books in which there's some crazy, ridiculous plot/climax/both and I feel that, without all of the crazy circumstances within most of her novels, she wouldn't be able to write.

As far as style goes, Faulkner is one of my favorites, even though his books tend to drag on. Flannery O'Connor is good, too. Those few Southerners who learn to write are pretty good at it.

I read a Flannery O'Connor short story the other day and I really liked it. But it was in my lit book, and all the accompanying notes talked about how it was a typical O'Connor work, with a huge Gothic overtone, and I didn't get that at all.

I hate that I don't have time to read anymore. It makes me so sad. I used to read like 6-7 books a month, at least, and now I hardly manage to read a non-school book in three months. I started Brave New World in August and I haven't finished it yet because so much stuff came up. Ridiculous.

Silly work.

When I grow up I'm naming my house the Roar Shack.

It's much easier when you don't actually do school work anymore.

It's shocking how little my grades have dropped, when I'm giving about 10% of my previous effort. I probably worked too hard the last three-and-a-half years.
