School’s has been my primary focus for the past couple of weeks, mind you that I haven’t forgotten about my blog, just busy. Bought some books recently, partly for leisure partly for influence. A collection of what are touted “the best American mystery stories”, a collection of HP Lovecraft stories (like I said, leisure), Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon, and Gaiman’s American Gods. Funny story, I was following some friends at B&N and accidentally walked in line infront of a b’jersey’d and basball capped gentleman. He asks me how I could just cut him in line like that. I begged pardon and meant to look at what my friends were looking at. He then proceeds to tell me to step behind him, which I think is a douchey thing to do as I am not in line. Sadly the line was not as slow as I would have liked to, my planned revenge was to have conversations with friends with him in the middle. But that was limited to an exchanged sentence with an acquaintance. After he runs his debit card he tell/asks the cashier that she would need to see his ID. She is taken aback by this (no one asks for ID anymore) but is all like “ok, whatever”. All the while in my mind I had made him to be some sort of robber with I the subduer. The headline would read “Partially Crippled Man Beats Robbery Suspect To Death With Collection Of Lovecraft Stories, Elder Gods Pleased, Roll For Sanity Damage” But I stray from my point in writing this weblog entry, more stuff expected in a week-ish (next midterm is in two, hoera free time!) Been making some thoughts, have a good idea on the second part of my story (upon talking with a fellow writer-guy I like the idea of interconnected short stories, avoids convolution and the reality of a character doing that much in a story (I mean really, read most stories and think how unexpected it is for a chracter to save the world in multiple ways (INTERNAL PARENTHESIS!))). So yeah, it’s about kids, witches, and teenage love.
