Just finished aforementioned novel...Seldom do I find such satisfaction in modern writings, but in this instance, I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised. I won't give any details on it, but it's completely worth a look.
In other news, I've had roughly 5 hours of sleep, and am not finding myself to be tired. Odd. Have I truly adjusted fully to the night? It doesn't seem to be too much of a stretch, some I'm already more alive in dusk..but I've always been fond of sleep. Ah well. Library seems comforting today..more solace than usual it feels. I think I'll always be more akin to the hall of books than most other buildings. Writings seem more friendly than spoken words..perhaps friendly might not be the correct description. I just tend to identify with the jotted down thought of the moment than the speaking of one's mind. That's always been appropriate and true for me.
Listening to 'Haunted' by Poe.. Not my usual poison, but it's on Slacker..and it's sorta beautiful to me despite the raw nature of the sound/lyrics. It's the 10 mins to 11 tune. Mmm. Satisfying sentence there. 10 mins to 11.
As you probably can surmise, I'm in a writing way today. Not 'creating worlds' type writing, but expressioned.
Well, that might not be completely true. Did get a mild flash of storylyric. The idea though falls a bit flat after a few mins.. It's that of a lost boy who grows old after leaving Neverland.. telling stories to his grandkid about that fabled paradise.. and of Peter's adventures. It's a twist I suppose to show the tale through another's eyes..one who had been around for it, but wasn't the main character.
Won't develop it because it feels like one of those stories that have a good hook, could make it past Chapter 1, but dies quickly. Nice to know that the flashes are still there though. Just says that I'm still working with a Writer's Gaze...even if said gaze is still askew and not receptively creative lately.
Which brings me to my next thought of late..The segue isn't going to work, but that's okay. I'm having a stream of consciousness today, and subsequently am fine with just going with it. Hope you are too. The job is...different. I feel a bit understimulated with it, but even in that, I'm almost pleased. The work is a meaningless charade of nothing...simplistic and nearly unnecessary. At best, I'm appeasing an employer for room and board. But...that being said, I'm able to sleep in a bit(or not, as today has shown), and I can pretty much do whatever I like during my hours. Lately, that hasn't amounted to much, but I'm beginning to realize that having a decent amount of time to oneself can be a blessing. Will try to do something productive during this.
And finally, to close this stream, I've been considering the idea of sitting in on college courses. I miss the daily mental meals.. not to insult those around(It's hard not to..and that's not just proper snobbery..), but I'm lacking reasons to think within my current location. I've haven't seen my proper friends in a week or so(been busy..and they're off being cool and getting houses and such..Way to go, btw.) Having decent conversations has always been a love of mine.. Being creative allows for happily enjoyable banter, and having said discussions in a classroom setting sounds near perfect right now. Trouble is, I'm not at all sure one can audit courses for free anymore. Tricky colleges. Why must learning in a forum cost so.. Free thought..free thinking..sure, all well and good, but once you wish to do so in an accredited institution, the hand goes out for the greenbacks. Pfft.
Well, it's been refreshing to open up and say a few things.
Hopefully the whim comes about again soon.
In the meantime, hope your day is going as well as mine.
