So, I've been meaning to update this blog for a while, it's yet another thing listed on my incredibly long to do list. However, I'm not feeling inspired enough to write anything amazing.

I have discovered that writing the words of fictional characters, often arguing or discussing something with another character, is a brilliant way to express my thoughts. It's a way to get people to think, or simply get some thoughts down, without making absolute claims. It's a way to show both sides of an argument through the view points of different characters. If I am not confident in what I say, I can simply wrap quotation marks around it and put it in the mouth of a character. You can write whatever you like, there's a sort of freedom to writing fiction. If the thoughts running through your head make you feel insane, all the more interesting your character will be, so write them down. The questions needn't be resolved right away. I haven't written a story in a long while though.

Been watching old movies such as The Brain That Wouldn't Die, Little Shop of Horrors, White Zombie, Brave New World (1980 version only), Things To Come, and I may as well just link you to my favourites.. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=AbsotivelyNothingful&view=favorites

Been mostly listening to In Flames (mostly old), Nightwish, the Misfits, and some of what they call real emo music.. I feel like making a cartoon, the old fashioned way. If I make one I will show you all. But I probably won't get around to it, like with heaps of other stuff.

Also, I have been struggling with writing my English speech. By procrastinating on it for so long, it's like I have built up an aversion to it inside of me, but now I simply have to do it. Although it appears to be an easy task, my mind is blank. It would help if anyone could comment with an argument against racism, relevant to the 1930's. I have to pretend to be a character in To Kill A Mockingbird. I hate having to prove something which seems blatantly obvious to me and should be to other people; I pretty much have to expand "Tom Robinson deserves a fair trial. Racism is bad. Equality FTW!" into a long, emotive speech.

Thank you for reading, 'tis much appreciated.

Can I help with the English thing? I've read the book and all that, and had to do loads on it this year.

It would be much appreciated. I have chosen Reverend Sykes, I have to pretend to be talking from his point of view. What kind of things did you do on To Kill A Mockingbird?

About the 1st youtube video, I was pretty much like the O.o guy. And from the list of movies, all I've seen is Little Shop of Horrors, quite awesome.

Well it loses some of its effect without sound, but that's my fault for killing all my speakers.

I don't think i ever got around to reading To Kill a Mockingbird in school, which is ironic since i live where the book takes place (i thought we were the only ones who had to read the books from here lol). Sorry I'm no help.
