The Metamorphosis

"But that's the whole root of the evil.  Words.  Each of us has, inside him, a world of things, to everyone, his world of things. And how can we understand each other, sir, if, in the words I speak, I put the sense and value of things as they are inside me, whereas the man who hears them inevitably receives them in the sense and with the value they have for him, the sense and value of the world inside him?"  Six Characters in Search of an Author by Luigi Pirandello

Well everyone, Thanksgiving break starts Wednesday and I plan on being back in my hometown that very day.  It's hard to express my joy.  I shall be less of a Stranger in proximity, yet perhaps more in my manner.  I look forward to hearing your reflections on the ways I have subtly shifted.  I miss my friends.

In response to popular demand I am going to post MORE PICTURES.  So, here you go.  I was going to upload a video, until it didn't work.

These were taken at my birthday party, held at my sister's new place.  First photo features Joe Cheatwood and Amy Kucks, the second photo is of course Bek and Meg, the third photo has Katie Roberts on the left and Abigail Maricle on the right, and the last photo has Amy and John Adams (I call him Grr).  Had plenty of fun at said event.

This will have to tide everyone over until I return on Wednesday, I'm off to write a paper!

"He went to the study, lay down, and once again was left alone with It. Face to face with It, unable to do anything with It.  Simply look at It and grow numb with horror."  The Death of Ivan Ilyich

Ello chums.  The Stranger has again made a rare appearance on the web, although not so rare as Sonic. *cough*  I have enjoyed a break this weekend and have been sleeping and resting my poor study addled brain.  The days have been sunny and peaceful.  There really isn't too much to report from the South but I'll try to make it interesting.

So far my midterms have returned good grades, one example; Physics = A+.  I wait on bated breath for most of the others.  I'm thoroughly glad my midterms are over, they were the most difficult two weeks I've had scholastically in some time but the arduousness has so far paid off - by the Grace of God!  My coming weeks are less busy but have greater potential evils as I'll be reaping what I sowed in grades.  Let it be that I sowed adequately!

Other news, other news...  Oh right, Guy Fawkes' night is coming soon.  In two days I'll achieve the double deuce.  Yeah yeah, we're getting rather advanced in age folks.  XD

Rebekah moved, her new place is nice.  Meg is not crawling she's "scooting".  I'm not sure if we can dice those terms so finely but I'm not going to contradict the mother majority.  She scoots fast and it's rather cute.

I saw Where the Wild Things Are in theater on Sunday.  I am a Wild Thing.  As if you didn't already know, hehe.  Anywho, I GREATLY enjoyed the movie.  So much so that I could barely contain myself within the seat while the drama was being played out.  Afterward I was skipping about with great energy and joy.  That movie so well depicted one of the core facets of my personality that I was astounded and delighted to find I was not alone in this Wild mode of life.  *Howls*

That's about it for now folks.
