Gardner ironically narrates his novel Grendel from a monster’s point of view in order to emphasize the monstrous acts of humans. ...Yeah, I was helping one of my friends iron out her thesis on Grendel. This was her first draft of it.

"I go to seek a Great Perhaps."

So I wrote a paper pretty recently and in I talked about Looking For Alaska. Here's the excerpt:

Both personally and academically, I’ve had a bit of a struggle this year with figuring out who I am. At the beginning of the year, I had started to write a novel and I was really proud of that. However, as the year went on my dedication to writing faltered and I haven’t written anything in months. Also, I just don’t feel very attached to the story anymore and I’m starting not to like it. This kind o… Continue

Hey - I thought i'd add you because of your love of Shakespeare and musicals.. and i'd add a quote you might recognise: " William Shakespeare wrote
"To thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day,
thought cans't not then be false to any man."

I think this wise statement best applies to a woman--a blonde woman.
Over the past three years, she taught me and showed us
all that being true to yourself never goes out of style..."

Oh the blog project. We had a large group of people and getting to know everyone really well hasn't really happened. I've gotten to know some people. Also, that's out of date, because some people have left and others joined and I have no idea any more.

I think the party actually finished (there were some lulls) around Tuesday or Wednesday. We decided to close the thread at 42 pages, which is a very nerdfighter type number.

Hey, it's Leah from the party, thought I'd say hi.

Okay, ive got lots to comment on this time. lets start with...
I was in the WAITING room for the chat room (This is the one with John Green right? cause if not i dont know what your talking about) but i didnt have an account, i had no idea what was going on and i am not a very patient person :P so i decided to just leave.
Thanks for the link. i checked it out. there seems to be more canadian nerdfighters than i thought. and it would be my unbirthday, my actual birthday is in December. the 8th to be exact. (btw when is yours. i need to know when to wish you a happy birthday. and if i missed it... HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY :P)
now here comes the problem. in my opinion, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, the jonas brothers, High school musical, etc. are all completely evil and i hate them all.
im sorry, its just m opinion. first off, Miley/Hannah is completey horrible at singnig. It is all computerized. The jonas brothers are not attractive and have annoying songs. High school musical is just annoying and i hate all of the actors and i could go on forever but i wont. sorry, i just dont like any of them at all. you can still like them though. sorry.
i prefer my emo, soundtrack, techno, and other kinds of music.
ya. tights. it was horrible. i dont know why he would do that. it was awful to look at. when i first saw, i almost doubled over laughing, but as well my eyes were burning. i know thats mean, but seriously. wouldnt you?
(btw i actually really liked Shes the man)
okay i am so glad you love star wars. i think i can forgive you for the whole Disney channel stars thing.
Star wars is pretty amazing. I had a star wars movie marathon in grade seven at my school. it was.
YA YODA JOKES!!!!! Made of awesome it is when someone makes a Yoda joke hmmm.
dont worry about the sucking at trying to make me feel better thing :P you actually did. and thanks for that. You are a great friend (WHEWWWW. cheesey or what? :P)
i agree with you on the whole assertive guy thing. like you said. what the FUG!!! (Abundance of Katherines references anyone?)
i do enjoy my freaky pics. poor Zander (My friend), about to get is throat sliced open by ME!
Bill Gates retired? YES!!! i did not know that.
Okay, here comes a small rant. beware.
AGGGGHHHH!!!!! STUPID RODGERS!!!!!! so the iPhone is coming out in canada on July 11, but because rodgers (Canadian Phone Company) is being so freaking stupid, canadaian pay about 10 dollars less per month on a plan for it, but get WAYYYYY less stuff. her is a comparison.

iPhone Plan:
Minutes - World: 450
- Canada: 150

we also get WAY less of everything else i just dont know the numbers. for loading pages on the internet, watcing a couple youtube videos and checking your email we could end up having to spend over $30, while everywhere else in the world it is covered by the plan.
going crazy at dances is awesome. definitely the best way to do it.
HAHAHA. crazy-x. that is awesome. perfect. i shall now call her that as well.
i am as well sorry for all the parenthesis, quote, exclamation points, smileys, etc. too.
although i did not just have a caffeinated drink so i dont have an excuse.
YAY!!! good job on the Heather Brewer Books thing. you can check out her blog here:
http://www.heatherbrewer.com/bleedingink/
she loves new fans and she seems really cool.
as soon as im done The Book Thief, i will check around for that Unwind book you mentioned.
Hehehe. Shawnald. thats funny. dont worry about it though. My cousin calls me "Shawnathan", like Jonathan. Its all cool. Shawnald, Shawnathan, etc.
guess what, i swear your crazy too :P but in a good way. we're all a little crazy. even me. (I'm actually quite a lot crazy)
Forget to be Awesome, Do not (YODA REFERENCE, YESSS!!)
-Shawnald/Shawnathan/Shawn

Ps. you must watch the movie "Requiem for a Dream". It is amazing. it is so powerful and amazing, and AWESOME!!!! its kind of a tragedy, its about 4 people who are addicted to drugs, and how it ruins your life. It is sooo good, and it has an amazing soundtrack.
'tis all for now.

yes, i can be creepy looking. actually i usually am.
i think wearing a mowhawk for a speech is cool. but this one guy at my grad wore white tights. thats a little too much for me.
im not actually in any camps, but i am volunteering at a star wars camp run by my drama/PA/Film teacher, the same one who is awesome.
dont worry about your random autbreaks of science. its okay.
thats the thing. i cant sing that well in front of anyone. i just try to convince myself i can.
wow. good job on getting 100. the only things i get 100 on are math quizes (Occasionally) and on my short story for Language Arts.
speaking in front of people may be difficult but im not sure if its more difficult than singing, but great job anyway :P
om sure you were fabulous too.
Newspapers are amazing. when your in them anyway.

theres a link to the article if you want. its got a pic of my costume :D
Apple is so much better. Bill gates should not be rich. Steve Jobs is rich, just not as rich, which is just wrong.
yes we got to dance. i like to dance too. even if i cant at all. its way more fun with people who are nerds and who undersatand the inabillity to dance. before, when i used to go to dances with my girlfriend (The same ex who i always used talk about my problems about), she was always so serious about dancing so i would just stand there because i didnt know how.
okay. its good to know that i didnt sound mean. i looked back and i just thought i was being kind of rude. maybe its just me now.

so thats it i guess.
Do not ever forget to be Awesome.

-Shawn

ps. whats this "Unwind" book about. because im in the middle of reading "The Book Theif" by Marcus Zusak. so i've got to finish that first.

so thats it for my ex girlfriend venting.

Ahhhh. Helicopter. i remember that one. i just dont rememeber it well.
I love my performing arts... but its OVER NOW!!!! :,( i am so sad.
I am officially done all of my Sweeney Todd performances :(
my PA teacher took some pics of our performance so i'll see if i can get some up. I look like such a creeper in them though. THere's one from when i'm singing epiphany, and i was going super crazy and psycho and my face is purple from yelling and i look like a demon somewhat. There's also some from when i was singing Pretty Women and Pretend shaving my friend Zander.
dont cry if your iPod breaks. i hope it doesnt though. i wish i could help. try getting some new headphones.
yes Titanic memorabilia. its a piece of coal that was actually on the REAL Titanic, not just the movie one. it was found at the bottom of the ocean.
yes, Steve Jobs is the CEO of Apple, but he's no where near being anything like bill gates. he is way better. and cooler. and smarter. just not as rich.
Oh my god. you dont know how scared i get singing in front of people. Sweeney todd was okay because i was doing it for only about thirty people ive known the whole year and i was doing a british accent. i find it easier to sing in a british accent. but yesterday was my grade 9 graduation thing for going into high school. and all of the PA kids sang Defying Gravity from Wicked and i ahd to sing a solo. it was only 5 words, but still. "Something is not the same" those are 5 words i never want to hear again in my life. i was shaking so badly it wasnt even funny. even when they were calling our names, and shaking our hands and stuff (Which was before the song) i stared at the ground the whole time because i was so nervous. i had to sing in front of hundreds of parents, and kids i dont know or dont like. It took me an hour after the song to get over it. people kept telling me that i was good but i still dont believe them. My friend Rachel was whispering to me in my ear that i would be fine right before we started but i was soooo scared.
i have no school today, and then i have an exam tomorrow and then the rest next week.
The grad party yesterday was so much fun though. even if people said I was too casual looking. Im not one to dress up nice. its not me. I wore a white t-shirt, black dress pants, and a black dress shirt which was unbuttoned so you could see the white shirt. but they made me button it up and it still wasnt enough. it was supposed to be a "casual" grad, but everyone disregarded that. i was probably one of 5 guys who didnt wear a tie, out of about a hundred. but ya it was fun. we took lots of pictures. and danced really crazy and weird at the dance part.
childhood ear infections. thats interesting.
oh yes, my pirate costume during school. i have some pics of that along with my sweeny pics so i can try and get some of those up too.
the movie marathon was awesome. really awesome. And im going to be in the newspaper. i got photographed in my costume.

oh my god. guess what i just did. I went back and started reading that random discussion/spam thread thing that hayor made in my pants last year. it was so weird reading it. i was kind of mean in my opinion. im sorry. i was really competitive and stuff. i fell bad now. i only got to page 28 though. 150 pages is a lot to read.
so ya. im bored.

SO SORRY!!! huge long post. more rambly than you even. and thats saying something :P
just kidding.
sorry. again.

First, im not going to e-smack you, i like reading comments. I dont care if they're long.
Bloc Party, Bloc PArty, name sounds familiar (I have guitar hero 3) but i cant think of the song they play. I like doing european accents. especially just Jack sparrow and Sweeney Todd. People say i sound just like them.
well im sure your oklahoma play was very good, but it sucks you had a tournament.
my beauty and the beast was still just a pretty small group class project, but it was fun.
Ya i guess bella is kinda like that, but i still dont like edward. he's too "Oh, i am the hottest of them all and no teenage girl stands a chance against me, cause im a sexy vampire kid, who tries too hard to be the hero."
so ya. but i saw the teaser for the movie and it does look okay, so i might go see it, even if the theatre will be filled with ga ga teenage girls.
(I put the "TheatRE" in just for you)
Yes, i watch the US version of the office. i havent seen the UK one.
My movie prop collection is my baby (asside from my iPod)
but i also have cool non movie stuff too it jsut all goes on the same shelf.
i have a small piece of coal which was actually on the real Titanic when it sank, which was recovered on a expedition. It is really cool
You are officially extra awesome for the fact that you own a Mac AND a Wii.
i was raised in a mac family with a father who dies a little on the inside everytime he sees a PC. (He's actually in San Fransisco for the world wide developer's confrence- WWDC. the ultimate place for computer nerds. and he gets to see Steve Jobs' keynote presentation)
what do you mean you wish you could act. EVERYONE can act, it's just a matter of whether you are willing to. (okay thats my drama teacher speaking. he is amazing. best teacher i ever had. im so sad cause im moving to grade 10 next year-which is high school here- so he wont be my teacher anymore D: )
and yelling at people who dont do what you want to do is sometimes a part of directing. all you have to do is have a vision, and know what you need people to do to achieve that. sometimes yelling is key :P
ha ha ha. i say omg too, but i try to refrain from doing it here.
same with lol and stuff like that
uh oh! does that mean i'm a teenage girl at heart too?!! AHHHHHH
hehehe
dont worry, your not a loser, and its a good picture. but i agree, it is nerdy. BUT THATS A GOOD THING!!!!! :D
i think we say "ay" too. eh is just how its spelled. i think. i could be completely wrong.
we would say your name "Sah-rah" probably.
dont worry again. i dont mind the rambling. and its okay. i do have time. when im doing this, i dont have ot do my homework yet. (good thing... sort of in a way)
Platonic e-love too!

-Shawn

ps. do you ever get that thing, where you think of something brilliant to put in the comment, and by the time you get to the end, you forget. cause that happens to me all the time. AHHH!!!
like just now.

Pps. i got it! tomorrow is my Pirates of the Caribbean movie marathon at my schoool which starts right after school and goes till 11. im dressing up as jack sparrow at lunch so i have to wait for three periods before the end of the day. that means three periods looking like a freak dressed like a pirate wearing Eyeliner :P
i'l see if i can get a picture to put up sometime.
