The World Ends With You

I've decided now i'm not plagued with exams and generally carrying college angst like a defective gene that i shall restore my faith and passion into comics and cartoons and anime. I've negelected Naruto terribly over the last few months and its pained me. I intend to spend the next few paychecks on novels and literature while i can, summer is so close that i cant bear it.

I really detest all the shit post my no.1 education enemy has sent me the past 2 weeks. As if having to endure sixthform September-June was not enough now they won't leave me alone via the postal service. Not only have they given me 6 compulsary summer school days to attend but they want me to go back again after to consider my oxbridge applications.. can i not think for myself at home? Do i not posess the ability to make my own decisions without being spoonfed pretentious bullshit about further education that only makes me want to fuck up my life as opposed to being Sixthform's next teen prodigy.

I also don't like poor reproductions of literature into film. I was mildly if not madly disgusted with the film interpretation of 'Enduring Love' by Ian McEwan; i can't remember for the life of me who directed it, but its probably good as i'd only call them a failure for completely avoiding the story-line like the plague and putting enough 'fucks' and other swear words in there to open a brothel.. Since when did Clarissa get stabbed? honestly? where did you read that? And since when has it been ok to change character's names in the book-film process? You also failed to mention the religious connotation other than once.. amateur considering the whole book is based on it. Maybe i should have stopped at failure. It was, i was genuinely (and quite pathetically) pissed off at the time.

I've resorted to biting my nails again like some agitated anti-socialite and eating so much sugar that i'm buzzing. Being sullen currently never felt so good.

'Is it asking too much, to keep you at arm's length?'
