Oh dear oh dear oh dear...

There are too many books to read! AGH Too much knowledge to absorb!

Against my better judgement, I purchased On the Road by Jack Kerouac today.

Might I remind you all that I still have 29 plays to read in about two weeks, and I also have to have Great Expectations finished by mid-April.

Yet still, all I've done today is watch The Office.

Oh well. It's just that bit that I read in Mr. Moos' room that made me really want it!

"They rushed down the street together, digging everything in the early way they had, which later became so much sadder and perceptive and blank. But then they danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"

It just reminds me so much of you guys and our whole group of friends and I love love love it.

We need to take that road trip. Like, not just have it be a fantasy. We NEED to take that road trip!
