lady of shalott, you and i together in this strange world

whoa. so, i'm kinda addicted to a book, which i told you wasn't mine, entitled 'Avalon High'. well, actually, it's not the book that i liked, but the legend it foretells. is it a legend or something? i don't know.

elaine of astolat - a heartbroken chick. so, elaine was a noble lady who fell wildly in love with Lancelot, a medieval hottie. when her love was not returned, she neither eat nor sleep for TEN DAYS. after her death, her body was sent down the river on a barge to somewhere where KING ARTHUR found it. she held a note in her hands for lancelot.

so, uhmmm. there was this guy named ALFRED LORD TENNYSON, a poet in the 19th century who wrote a poem about her. "THE LADY OF SHALOTT"

english class - we had this weird yet fun activity. it's about knowing what your personality and career is. well, it started on a shape. you have to pick what shape you want or represents you. i picked square (but i really love the squiggle thing) as my first. and then, sir dids gave us the 'answer key' or 'guide'.

square - organized, detailed, KNOWLEDGEABLE, persevering, patient; meticulous, cool, not picking, LONER, ALOOF, procrastinating, complaining, resistant to change

aloof and loner, eh? haha. well, maybe, sometimes. like what i'm currently experiencing this year. i'm a little bit alone, with a different world from theirs. i can sense that they can feel it. THEY who always keep on stabbing and, without even noticing, killing me with frustrations and anguishes. i'm getting a little bit EMOtional today. i can't blame myself for doing so. it's just that these things keep running into my head, shouting and angry at me. just stick your nose out if it. got that?
