Like Flies to a Bug Zapper

I've got eight minutes to rant before I read the shit out of this book we're discussing today in British History. ._. My classmates in General Psychology... they're unbelievably dense. >_> One of them could have waited for me to finish up my test! I had to triple check it to be satisfied. I also took a few moments to cheat off of my review sheet for the short answers. I spent nearly five minutes trying to weasel my teacher into giving me the names of the people my group (she didn't have a roster with her and could only give me their first names), then another ten minutes patiently stalking someone I recognized from my class until I could intercept them.

He turned out to be from my group, as I suspected, and he was as clueless as I was. We talked it over and decided we'd wave the white flag of surrender if we didn't have time after class on Monday to meet up with the others. >_> That's what happens when you put the absent guy in charge of the powerpoint! It's chaos!

I'm not happy with my teacher. She gave us fifteen minutes to meet with our chosen group and didn't tell us we wouldn't be meeting again. Such a huge presentation should've been left for December! Two weeks and no classtime allocated to it? I would've actually preferred socializing with my group members if it meant we'd get some work done!

*sigh* I'm gonna get into class on Monday twenty minutes early with a large sheet of paper stating: "ADOLESCENCE GROUPS - MEET HERE." Maybe the all-caps will persuade them to see what I want them for. It'll be like attracting flies to a zapper. It'll be glorious.

Merde. I need to read now. D: When I get home, I'm probably gonna be the only one getting the house ready for the Halloween party tomorrow since my dad's gonna be busy getting the garage cleared out, my mom will be at work, and my sister will be at soccer practice. The party wasn't even my idea. My god, there's going to be handicapped people in there. As if our house wasn't small enough! I think I might just barricade myself in my room the entire day. No way I'm going to maneuver through all of that. It'd drive me insane, and, as with all parties in our house, my dad'll literally lock the computer desk up. Damn that thing for having a lock anyway!

Whatever. I'll continue working on my outline for NaNoWriMo. I plan to become knowledgable in the workings of the FBI and the Russian mafia. I want to name the chapters after cool FBI terms.

Also, Check this out. It's pretty cool. There's a fuckin' sweet Final Fantasy VII AMV that was recently made to it.

Thanks. That was really the only poem I have ever written that I liked.

The Torture Of The Mind
As the soldier sits in his deep fox hole,
he begins to think upon the battle.
To shoot or not to shoot?
To stab or not to stab?
Kill or be killed? It consumes his soul.
At the same time he sees his smiling wife.
For him there is no peace.
The sergeant calls for the charge.
The soldier with gun in hand must now choose.
Stay back and cower with the dead
or run forward and do what is asked.
Men falling all around, friends screaming and dying.
He makes his decision. He wants to see that smiling face again.
He runs forward still bearing the questions in mind.
To shoot or not to shoot?
To stab or not to stab?
Kill or be killed?
Now his daughter is urging him on.
He can hear her voice yelling the questions that plague him.
He thinks how can this be?
She died with her mother 2 years ago.
The questions are repeating over and over.
Bullets whiz by. Still he runs on.
The sergeant is gone, plastered to a tree 50 meters back.
Men continue to scream.
To shoot or not to shoot?
To stab or not to stab?
Kill or be killed?
The words spill from his dead family's mouths.
Over and over.
The enemy is in front of him. He shoots.
The first shot takes his shoulder. He continues.
The next salvo takes his legs and he can see sky.
And two beautiful faces.
He pulls his bayonet as the enemy leaps.
The man lands dead on his chest, bayonet between his ribs.
The soldier closes his eyes and imagines being with his wife and daughter.
He opens them only to see the mortar flying down.
He is able to finally answer his daughter's questions.
He went down shooting.
He stabbed upward.
But in the end he was killed.
He watched as the mortar slowly fell down and landed on the enemy body above.
The last thing he saw was a great flower blossom of color and noise.

That is win. The paper is about a lit. narritive. Story telling about a paper or thing dealing with school. I wrote a poem last year that I was really happy with. took me less then an 45 minutes to write it. It was read aloud in class. The class was silent . The teacher only said it was deep. I still have it open if you would like to read.

Actually, I don't really mind lit crit. There were some things in the prologue I wasn't really comfortable with when I posted it, so your suggestions were actually very helpful.

Wow cool! That thread is kind of old. I haven't been as active on this site lately... And yeah~ I listen to a bunch of Jrock. There is lots of good stuff (and lots of bad stuff, imo of course).

No, I've never played Silent Hill, but I did go to Youtube to listen to some of the music, and it is pretty good.

Yeah, that's another thing I forgot to mention. I really like the music from HALO (but then I like soundtrack-type music in general) both the games and movie. I'd have to guess that there's a soundtrack to all that and if I could find it, I'd definitely get it. I also ordered the Trocodero CD, since they have some pretty good music from the rvb series.
