i have 10 minutes
to finish this before i go to dinner.
i'm rereading ender's game before i start studying again. here's a paragraph i liked:
Believed, but the seed of doubt was there, and it stayed, and every now and then set out a little root. it changed everything, to have that seed growing. it made Ender listen more carefully to what people meant, instead of what they said. it made him wise.
this could be dangerous because when there's too much doubt, you expect people to fail you. then what's the point if you can never trust people?
i've used the word jaded too much and i shouldn't be allowed say that word anymore. it breeds contempt at what is and gives little promise for things to get better. because when things have, it hasn't last for very long. and now w/ people leaving and friendships disappating it makes me wonder what i have left.
starting over is overwhelming and i can imagine how fake and insincere it could turn out to be.
i have to go. bah!

I like the word jaded. I see what you are saying, though.
Can I borrow Ender's Game, one day? I really want to read it. I'll lend you a book for collateral... have a great Thursday!
