I finished the satire... I think my visual was well received. The idea worked very well I think, at least it wound up looking just how I wanted it to... I'd explain it but really its just what I said it would be the letter with lots of supplementary pictures but it's artfully put together... it's an abstract-postmodern-expressionist-I'm just throwing out artistic movements hoping one will apply-representation of my satire. I like it and when Ro was looking over it he was laughing to himself...so I suppose thats either good or very bad, we'll see.

The other thing I wrote yesterday will never again see the light of day. It's atrocious. I turned it in only because I had to turn something in. I hope Rens understands. I went out on a limb, it didn't work, I really don't like admitting that it did because I was excited by the idea and given more time who knows but I failed. No matter what grade I wind up getting it's a failure on my part. Even if I wind up with an A, I won't be happy, I won't be proud of it and I really wish I didn't put my name on it.

a boy in my class got upset with me after I took issue with his diction... he told me I didn't get it... I told him it's the fault of the writer if the reader doesn't understand their messages because words are missing. It doesn't matter though, I know I'm right. A piece that doesn't stand alone is of no merit, if it needs explanation it's useless. I should be able to see a thought process. It wasn't there. But he's a Stephen King fan.

the more I listen to myself the more I realize I'm a literary elitist. I still don't care though. I am what I am.

I'm running on about 4 hours of sleep in the past 36 or so... I'm going to go catch up on that...
