long post
ok, this shall be a long post. i know long posts are hell to read on my skin, but no one actually reads them anyway. so basically, i am talking to myself. =D i already keep a journal for that purpose, but then i am narcissistic and egoistic and therefore want the world to read my rantings. oh, whatever. today was a fun and interesting but not very productive day. vicky came over. ^_^ we were supposed to mug today, but she ended up reading my rurouni kenshin scanlations and i read my book. i think that was the only productive thing i did today. well. not that i do anything productive any day. but you know. it's called ironhand's daughter and it's really nice, but maybe a bit sad. it's one of those fantasy type books. i seem to like them. and i just realised i do not know how to describe what i felt about the book. as in, i liked it, but i don't know why. i'll stick to nice and sad. um, there were a ton of things i wanted to say but i forgot. oh yeah, yesterday evening slash night was horrible. i sat through tuition for three hours, hoping to walk back home later, but then my mum had to give the cheque to the teacher so she sent me home. i called her and she told me she would be there in ten minutes, but then i sat there for ages. or maybe it was just ten minutes. but then, whatever. so they were going out to eat, and i didn't want to go, so they sent me home first. when we stopped in front of the gate i was really eager to get home, so i opened the door. and i fell out. i skinned my knee, poked a few holes in the epidermal of my elbow (roads are bumpy) and made my palm a bit red for a while. it's annoying, kneeling on my bed trying to shift everything to one side and having to sit down instead because i can't kneel. but then it's such a small scrape and im just being whiny. hmm. i really should study. i really cannot cannot wait for exams to be over. i have a ton of stuff to watch and read and all. then i can slack without even feeling the slightest bit guilty and hopeless and stuff. yes, i should study after i bathe. but then, i shall post a short excerpt of a part of the book first. ok, i can't choose, and it would take a while to type, so never mind. shall post an excerpt of an excerpt of the next book.

"You have much to learn, boy. About war. About warriors. Aye, the city fell, and before it other cities. But we don't have cities here, and we need no walls. The mountains are like a fortress, with walls that pierce the clouds. And the clansmen don't wear bright breastplates and parade at festivals, they don't march in unision. Stand a clansmen against a Lowlander and you will see two men, but you will not be seeing clearly. The one is like a dog, well trained and well fed. It looks good and it barks loud. The other is like a wolf, lean and deadly. It barks not at all. It kills. The Aenir will not come here yet. Trust me."
