I've finally downloaded the latest version of flash! Gods, I am so frakking relieved.


Gods, I hate Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Self-Reliance". We have to read it for school. One paragraph into it and I'm already wishing he'd shut up and get rid of his sickening cheerfulness. It's like listening to Mickey Mouse making a sermon.

At least I got a BSG moment when he said "To be great is to be misunderstood". Don't tell Cavil. x]

Poor you. Emerson is a dud. I hated reading him. That...annoying cheerfulness is always grating.

oh, I love flash!.... and I can't do anything on it except for watching gif icons.... ( I am with Vista and flash is the only program which reads gif)
Am I pathetic or what? ^_^

R.W.Emerson.... I remember that guy... if you ask me, he was probably hit on the head with something heavy when he was a child... hihih :P
he is really heavry to read, indeed, but not so bad if you have patience.... ;)

yeah.

Well, if you hear a Tolkien fan say that something's boring, something really is boring. I mean, no offense to Tolkien, but to the general population his books=history books.

ah, well yes- you really need patience with Tolkien but still- his style and Emerson's style are different so we cannot compare them... I liked reading some extracts from Emerson's books even if he sounds idiotic sometimes but maybe this is why I like him. Still- the man is crazy ^_^

PS. History books? But I love history books! :D If you compare Tolkien with maths, then I will be afraid hihih :P

Honestly, I love history, too. Many others don't.

Emerson is loony. Thoreau, ah... he knows how to describe things. :]

what do you study this year in history? Here, as seniors, we study only our own history but all the previous years we studied world history and it was great fun ^_^

Oh, he definitely is! But I am still a fan of him.... I am basically a fan of most of those types of authors where you read and just don't know what you read... hihih :P:P
