A few words
"When we describe the Moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness." ~ D.H. Lawrence "Is the meaning of life defined by its duration? Or does life have a purpose so large that it doesn't have to be prolonged at any cost to preserve its meaning?" "Living is not good, but living well. The wise man, therefore, lives as well as he should, not as long as he can... He will always think of life in terms of quality not quantity... Dying early or late is of no relevance, dying well or ill is... even if it is true that while there is life there is hope, life is not to be bought at any cost." ~ Seneca "People will tell you nothing matters, the whole world's about to end soon anyway. Those people are looking at life the wrong way. I mean, things don't need to last forever to be perfect." ~ Daydream Nation "All Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories-- if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death." ~ The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes "The road now stretched across open country, and it occurred to me - not by way of protest, not as a symbol, or anything like that, but merely as a novel experience - that since I had disregarded all laws of humanity, I might as well disregard the rules of traffic. So I crossed to the left side of the highway and checked the feeling, and the feeling was good. It was a pleasant diaphragmal melting, with elements of diffused tactility, all this enhanced by the thought that nothing could be nearer to the elimination of basic physical laws than deliberately driving on the wrong site of the road." ~ Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita "It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend." ~ William Blake Think about it Musicalities! Kill that boredom!

Jhonen Vasquez's site Overheard in New York Passive Aggressive Notes Submarinechannel.com Superdickery UHpinions Whirled | Next week is LOVE week :0 Friday, February 9, 2007 Or at least that's what my school calls it. Clouds in the sky. A puddle with water dripping down into it. Those were the only pictures I took today. I feel like I should eat something. All I've had today is half a handful of cashews. We don't have anything I want to eat.... Nothing really spectacular happened today. I didn't end up doing my speech in History, but I think it's a guarantee I'll go Monday. This is what I have so far: Unless you've never worn clothes before, or have lived under a rock your whole life, you probably know what FASHION is. You know, how your clothes look and all that fun stuff. Even cavemen had fashion (once they started wearing clothes.... or loinclothes). But that's not what I'm talking about. MY topic is fashions of WWI. Before the war, women wore corsets and huge dresses. They exaggerated their bodyparts for that freakishy feminine look. When I say that I mean they not only had hourglass figures, but they packed some junk up in their chests and posteriors. When the men left to fight in the war, women had to take over factory jobs, and some even joined the army. They realized they couldn't work if they couldn't breathe (corsets, you know?). Dresses got narrower, hemlines went up. Hair got shorter and clothes were more plain due to a dye shortage. When I say "narrower" I mean their skirts were slightly bigger than pantlegs. Some women tied a cord around their legs so they couldn't move too far; if they didn't they would trip. This doesn't really make sense, seeing as the whole goal here was more mobility, but not everybody gets it right the first time. Something they DID do correctly was bring up the hemline. Someone must've figured out that walking is easier when you don't have twenty pounds of fabric dragging on the ground around your feet. Though the change was slow, it was definitely noticeable. Men's fashions changed too as a result of the war. They used to wear tail coats and top hats all the time, but stopped wearing them except in extremely formal situations. And even that happened very rarely. Men started wearing sack suits and tuxedos, clothes more recognizable to our twenty first century eyes. In 1917 U.S. Rubber invented sneakers, named so because they made no noise when people walked in them. Until then all other shoes, excepting moccasins, made sounds when walked in. Yeah... that's it. Haven't really figured out the rest yet. :P I'm not really sure what the people who wrote this were thinking, but boy if it didn't give me a good laugh. 8 Comments. ha, our school calls it twirp week. we had to do a paper in theater over fashion during ww2. it sounded alot like your speech, only with less information. » bananaface on 2007-02-09 06:30:11 heh a lot of the old superhero comics were like that. as funny as they were, they were trying to make political and sociopolitical statements...mainly theyre just funnt heh. » invisibleinkling on 2007-02-09 06:35:59 I am not up to par on my fashion. It never really interested me. But he it sounds interesting » pyrogrrl12 on 2007-02-09 10:05:46 Is it just me, or does that puddle look like a really big knife? Bleh history is so montonous...I'd probably pass out if it weren't for people I sit around. We're the awesome, hands down. But essay writing?...not so much -_- Haha I see your pulling stuff from that Superdickery site eh? Lol I found the link in your modules and had a jolly time. I just said jolly. I think I should be leaving now..g'day. » The-Muffin-Man on 2007-02-09 10:42:01 I like the puddle picture...it's interesting » lazypuppy on 2007-02-10 01:06:03 I call the 14th "Single Awareness Day" or SAD day. [= » bifocalLs on 2007-02-10 01:06:33 whoa you know that one pic with the rain drops? it looks like only that puddle is recieving rain and nowhere else is! cool! wait i thought you were sort of joking about that speech. you're going to present that? haha good luck! » feelthesound902 on 2007-02-10 01:26:18 Lol Good luck on your speech! =) The evolution of fashion really is weird. Lol I remmber my teacher saying something like, girls before used to take off ribs so they'd fit in those corset thingies. And then some died because their internals were mushed. Somehow like our fashion victims today who'd barf off their fat just to fit some dress. :/ » frostbitten on 2007-02-10 09:49:16
