Things That Annoy You [v.47]

There's supposed to be a rally at school today, I really hope it doesn't get cancelled for all the fights last week. <__<

Am I the only one who thinks it's a bit wrong that people rather know an anime than a classical piece of world literature?

(By that I don't say that animes are stupid or something like that - they can be pretty good. But in my opinion it is some kind of
essential to know at least a few important books [not talking about harry potter or this stuff])

You're not alone in that. It annoys me when people don't know any classics, from any genre. But especially in literature, you have to know something. It just goes to show what society is coming to these days, ignoring the classics for something much easier and less meaningful.

Definately went over the top with my reply.

In a nut shell: Literature is important, new or old, but you have to consider todays audiences. I read books, and I watch anime/read manga.
I don't read older books, or the "classics" becuase it is a hard to style to read.

Exactly. Thank you.

It's completely fine to watch animes and read modern books - but I only see them as pure entertainment, not as source of knowledge.

It's some kind of a problem today: people are a bit afraid of reading classical books because they are quite difficult or seem to be a level higher than everything else. But once you start to think about it and really understand the meaning (or at least parts of it) these books are great. They can make you think differently and show you new aspects also in current affairs.
I personally learned a lot for my life from classical books.

I just want to leave this place. This education is no fun, at all.
I've chosen the wrong way. What have I done, ohmy.
Tomorrow I'm going to an info day about voice actors.
That sounds better.

Don't get me wrong, the interpreter education is kinda nice.
But the second language I've chosen is pretty terrible for me.
I don't get along with Spanish. No way.

I don't want to go to this course anymore.

When I know I need to reply to like five role-plays, but I really don't want to for some reason.
Muse.. Where did you go? Dx

[aberrant.]

I was in so many RPs, then they died all at the same time, now I'm in three with the same two people >.< One of which is never on,
Looks like I'm going RP hunting.
"fun" -_-

Apparently me and my friend are gay for having walking p.e .<___<

[greedling]

People seem to not value educations anymore.
Good god. The only reason I get on during school hours is because I'm homeschooled.
But I don't ever sneak on when I'm supposed to be doing schoolwork.

I'd think having a decent education is a little more important than a pet site.
I understand different timezones... But dang.
I see a lot of people in my timezone just messing around on here in school.

I don't have school today, so that's why I'm on. uvu


I'm tired. ;___;

But see, because we don't push the classics, people don't know how to read them, and turn to something easier, less challenging. If we urged and forced the reading and understanding of classics, they wouldn't be so hard to read anymore. After being forced to read Othello, I now can properly read Shakespeare, and for that matter many other older classics that now seem easy. It's because we don't push ourselves to understand the classics, we ignore them and don't enjoy them anymore.


My dog just dug my feet out from underneath the blanket, and is now licking them. Nonstop. Dog, you are so stupid. I love you, but you're stupid.
