Just keeping in practice. Finished reading Carlos Ruiz Zafon's 'The Shadow of the Wind', an excellent novel. Consequently, I'm now reading Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials'. Hope to get that one done before I enlist, it looks pretty good. Oh yeah, a literary panacea which I hope will stave off the brain rot that is NS.

"Neither shall I expose how incredibly misogynistic and foolish army culture is. (It is what happens when you allow young boys take over authority and positions.) All the foolhardy jests about being a "man" and not a "pussy" (Get over that inferiority complex already, "guys") are starting to really annoy. But I suppose I shall also not talk about how uncultured and profane army kids are either"
This is from the blog of a friend of mine, and I quote it here because it already validates my preconceptions about the army.
Really now, men - and humans in general - disappoint me greatly, and if I have to choose between being stupid and being a pussy, I'm handing in my Y chromosome.

I have little to no respect for (tick as appropiate) [inspid] [foul mouthed] [chinese speaking] [male chauvinists], so I expect my patience is going to be sorely tested soon. Drudges of society, you are.

They should serve Koko Krunch for breakfast in the army. This is actually a very good idea. Not only does it have a great chocolatey taste, an entire platoon of men eating Koko Krunch is quite possibly the most emasculating thing in existence. Good to dampen those silly male egos, source of nearly all the trouble in the world. My fellow men, I'm disappointed in you!
That said, NS is going to be really boring, possibly the most irksome experience I will go through in my entire life. Physical activity, authoritarian atmosphere, no air conditioning, hell where do I sign up?!
Now If I were dense and illogical, I could at least comfort myself with little lies about how I'm growing up or learning life skills. Nope, can't do it.
Heh heh, if only it were that easy.

It's like a door just opened out of thin air, you know. Like a zoo animal, waking to find it's cage door hanging slightly ajar, with the morning sun coming up, and the faint sounds of a world stirring.
Maybe it's the way the light comes through those leaves. Yes, it has to be that morning sunlight, turning the forest into a riot of greens and golds. There's just so much potential.
And you find yourself thinking, "Why not?"
