I am also not sleepy, and it is also because I'm driving through a tunnel with my cellphone. mag you genius : p
At least I got "tunnel" out of his post.
The rest of it went more in the direction of him not being tired because he's been digging a tunnel, like in The Great Escape.

Okay, so that "scholarly article" on Heart of Darkness was almost more painful than reading HoD. Academic writing why you so dull?! Yeah, I saw that PM you sent me, and I was like, "*** that." lmfao

Oh, what I meant by that was that I have an explanation for why you're so tired, and that I was going to tell you, but then my phone was DCing in the tunnel. It's still early for me. 10:45 at the moment. Yay for Arizona time!

I found 3 of them.
Need 5 sources total, Primary is one. So with my 3 Articles and my Primary I only need one more. And only 1 of the sources really needs to be used a lot. The one I told you about "The horror! The Horror!" is actually a really quality source because it discusses HoD as a Gothic novel and thus hits a lot on the Darkness as a symbol to express Conrad's themes.

it was like a
"omg this is important! the true meaning of life is-"*disconnects due to tunnel* type joke drok lol
Yeah, I got what he was doing... I just didn't realize it actually said something in between the random symbols until you posted it. Then I re-read it and I could see where all the missing words would fit.
My ability to comprehend posts seems to drop off drastically after midnight. :/

I didn't figure you actually meant me. But the person I normally talk with through email hasn't been around lately, so I've been feeling extra chatty on here and was looking for an excuse to make people talk to me. :o Oh. Well, it worked! Do you feel accomplished now? :3

Hey Mag, I got a horrible idea.
Imagine Marlow becoming senile and having to be an attendant at that nursing home.
I'm pretty sure I'd off myself after 3 days.

So do these sources help to compare how HoD and Victorian era literature stack up to Romantic work? That for some reason always interests me.

That's not the point of the article but I wouldn't doubt it's out there.
I personally can't say I prefer one over the other.
Both era's had great works.
But this quarter I have done 1 Greek and now 2 Victorian pieces. (If you didn't know The Importance of Being Earnest is Victorian)

Edit: Literally that's all Coppola did.

Wasn't Apocalypse Now! based on the novel Heart of Darkness? Yep. You know, when I first watched Apocalypse Now!, I thought it was just ridiculous and confusing. After reading HoD and watching it again... I felt exactly the same.

Not sure accomplished is the right word. But I am finally feeling sleepy, and since my goal was to keep busy talking to people until I was sleepy... I suppose it did accomplish something.
Also, your use of :3 at the end just made me miss the person I was talking about (more than I already did). /sigh and whatnot, I suppose.
Night, everyone.

aww drok, do you still play ffxi? guivre just aggroed/killed my sch61 mule in kuftal so I'm trying to solo as war99 while she says "bitchplz *fang rush*"
I've been deactivated for, I dunno? A month and a half?
It was fun but I just can't keep up anymore... Didn't even finish all my NIN AF3 or start an Empyrean.
Plus, I'm on Shiva, so I doubt I'd be much help to you. (You're on Bismarck, aren't you?)

I have no idea. But I still have the godawful "Live fast, die young" mindset ala James Dean. So hopefully my death will be something like this.

(If you didn't know The Importance of Being Earnest is Victorian) See, and that's why I would think you'd more about Romantic literature, especially after reading stuff from people like Keats and Shelley. Lots of Greek influences in there. If I had to choose, I would be all about the Romantic era. I love the thought of the focus on the common man. As for Victorian, all I can really think about is Wuthering Heights. Well, that and HoD.

Like I said I like both, but The Importance of Being Earnest is one of my favorite plays and fit the writing I did so well. I only chose HoD because it's so easy to write a 5 page paper on lol.

Shouldn't you be writing a paper? <.< Yeah, Uri. :P
And absolutely, HoD is easy to get 5 pages out of. Especially when it's all laden with quotes. What's your approach towards this paper?
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
