Moonie's Ramblings

[Prof. Moonie]

I'm back. And not feeling so well... dealing with cramps... major ones... so I'm feeling a bit nauseated. At point, I had to pull off into the parking lot of Burgerville because I thought I was going to need to throw up. But once I finished parking, the feeling passed. *sighs* I think I'm going to lay down for awhile until this nauseated feeling goes away... then I'll finish doing the remaining homework I need to do.  

[Prof. Moonie]

At least I'm home now... and not having to deal with any classes or anything like that.  

[Prof. Moonie]

Alright... I'm off to lay down now. xp  

[Prof. Moonie]

So I decided to come out to the living room to both relax for the cramp aspect, but bring my laptop so I can still do part of my homework. So here I am. xd

[Prof. Moonie]

In case you're wondering why I'm posting a bunch of sources revolving eyes... as I started reading The Outsiders yesterday, I noticed that the main character Ponyboy kept talking about the color of eyes for the various characters we are introduced to. So... that's where I got the eye part.

Originally I was going to go with a meaning aspect to eyes... but clearly there hasn't been any real, scientific or anything that confirms such thing. Though there is a lot of mythological aspect to eyes... so I might go that route. Though I don't know how I'm going to include quotes from the book for that. *shrugs*

[Prof. Moonie]

I might end up changing my mind on what topic I'll cover in my text analysis when I finished the book. Hmm... I might as well go and get the book and finish it, since I have no other homework to do than the stuff revolving around The Outsiders.

*sighs* I'll go get it then... Be back in a bit.  

[Prof. Moonie]

I'm back. And as I'm reading I'll be posting various quotes that stand out to me. Like right now I'm going to do the quotes that primarily stuck out to me that oriented around eyes... and whatever else stood out to me.
