Work

Work is getting frustrating. Easy job, but getting so stressful. No names will be mentioned.

EDIT

And just when I'm freaking out, God comforts me. Thank You. I know my words may seem lacking in sincerity, but I truly do thank You.

Tangents

Some guy on deviantArt named Jerry Jackson has some pretty interesting flash animations. His jokes are random. The animations are nothing but a collection of random thoughts that connect to the ones before and after, but have no meaning whatsoever as a whole, although the artist does try to build it all around a common theme.

I thought of doing a parody of such animations using my writing skills (though limited they may be). A collection of random thoughts in writing.

But no! Someone has done that already! It's true. If you don't believe me, read The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger.

But it's not a funny book.

Weird dream

I had a dream last night. I don't remember what it was about, but a scene did stick out. It was the last scene, but it was not an ending.

I was at some fancy formal gathering. Something like a wedding perhaps, though I've never actually been to one in real life. I stood by a table covered by a white cloth. Two people sat there writing essays or something. Beside one writer was a book that resembled an English text book/exercise book for beginners. It was riddled with pictures that filled almost entire pages. It was about the size of a short novel, approximately 120 pages or so.

I flipped to a page randomly and saw a picnic scene with people talking to one another through those dialogue cloud bubble thingies. I noticed that certain words were underlined; these were the words to be learned from the lesson. These words were long and difficult. Terms you would never encounter outside of a huge dictionary. The book itself became a sort of dictionary (since nothing stays the same in form in dreams). I flipped to the first page to see to whom the book belonged, and found the word "guMi" on it. Yes, it was a spelling error I imagined. Either the writer didn't know how to write his own name or my spelling goes nuts in dreams.

This entry is not an attack on the named individual. I say it once more that this was a dream, and I had little control over it.
