free write

So I hear ists somethimes a good thign for you tod do once in a while,, this thing called free writing. I actually got it from a movie with Sean Connary, where he's is taking this kid under his wing, and just teaching him how to write. There's this scene where they just both sit down at opposite typewriters, and Sean just says go, and off they go, typing away. What seems like seconds later, Sean is all done, with the kid in complete bafflement on how he did it. Then during my english class, one of the bvest ways to get a first draft doe is to totally get thingking about it, and just type until you can't anymore about that particular subject - but that was for a creative writing assignment, so don't go doing that for your master thesis or anything.

Just to get some thoughts out. I've been going over some of my past papers, and it's kinda weird to think that was me writing them. Just the language, tone and word selection seem all out of place for me. I know I've definatly changed in the past year and all, but has it been that drastic? Am I who would typically go through such a personality change that I wouldn't be able to recognize myself? But it probably nothing that big. It's probably just the certian mindset you put yoursefl into when you know you have to get something done, and you do it ot the best of your abilities.

Some common perceptions. Valentines Day has come and gone once again, and I don't really feel anything special about it. Yes, this is a day where couples of all sorts get together and tell each other how they would die if they didn't have each other. Dont hate on me though, but it's almost laughable what some of the outcomes of some of those relationships end up being. Maybe they were too young to realize what Love - that term so commonly thrown about these days - actually is. I'm not saying I have the answer in my head and can spout it at any particular point in time, but lets say I have one of the best examples of my life living in the same house as myself. And Yes, that bond can be broken, surprising as it sounds. [break]
