Our Dinner Time - part 2

“Well, um, yeah, it sounds quite sweet of you…ha….” Wondered about his words though, I found his behavior and way of talk seemed to imply that it was time for us to set down our glass.
“You can just think about it and call me tonight if you please, this is just between you and me.” And he gave me a pretty seductive blink before leaving.
     Gosh, what had I done? And he had to do this for me. I didn’t have any clue, but I knew for sure I was attracted by his dating hint. I was still thinking about his blinking, it could trouble me at night leading to insomnia. 
     While carrying my meal to the table, another guy suddenly pat me on my shoulder. He was C. And he looked much handsome than H without a doubt. But he was too gentle to get along with. Still, he was a good friend of mine. To my amazement, he was trying to ask me to have a date for our dinner time,
“Hey, um, I’m wondering if you have a free time tomorrow for having a dinner with me. Would you mind that…”
“Oh, I…I’m so sorry. I’ve been seeing someone.”
“Oh, cool...so cool, huh?”
“Uh, ha… yeah…so cool…” I wondered why he had to throw such awkward condition between us. It was weird, didn’t he think so? However, I felt a little pity that he was a bit late than H for asking me to have a date with him.
     Losing my mind, I began to think they might get an eye for me. I felt a great feeling for happiness in love. It was the time that love was coming over and knocking my door. Perhaps it was also my golden opportunity to date both of them. And I would open the door without second thought 'cause there were a series of love snenery among H, C, and me deeply in my mind.
     All of a sudden, there was a light harshing to my eye. When opening my lids, I saw a clear sky, the birds’ singing and the rumble-tumble greeting my eyes. Oh, god! Damn it! That was just a dream…a dream…
     Soon, very soon, the melody occurred in my mind somehow…And that was the classic, "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M., which I listen to and sing this song time and again these days... Somehow I brought the image of lyrics into my dream, and it had become a story of my own.

Notes on W. S. Merwin's "Tergvinder's Stone"

Image
Take one of your favorite stories from our course text , Sudden Fiction Continued , and comment on its characterization, narrative techniques, or other psychological or circumstantial aspects that make your selected story an evocative one.   60% Tergvinder's Stone   by W. S. Merwin   In W. S. Merwin's "Tergvinder’s Stone," a man called Tergvinder carries a plain-looking stone from the bottom of his drive. He does not explain much about the stone to anyone. Troubled by the insomnia, Tergvinder thinks that his problem in life can never be solved if discovering that he was still alive. However, Tergvinder does not face the problem rightly in reality. Although people around him take the stone of no use, Tergvinder regards it as his spiritual comfort for he seems to find the fellow-feeling from the stone in some certain attitude. The protagonist, Tergvinder, perhaps he does not know the illness has been invading him step by step. Here the illness does not w

Why Does Antonio Still Lend Money To Bassanio? (my viewpoint in temporariness)

Image
I'm pretty glad I've made the decision of my own. Because I have been always recognized as the Hamlet who seems to live in this modern time, I usually become very indecisive and melancholy. Oh, god, yeah, it is me, truly me, believe it or not. Besides, it occurs to me to think about a character in The Merchant of Venice , written by Shakespeare. That guy is Antonio. This week teacher asked us why Antonio still lends a great deal of money to Bassanio. My interpretation for this question might focus on the psychological aspect of Antonio. The story is set for them as a pair of good friend. However, Antonio is born to be melancholy for no reasons, but he sometimes is looking forward to seeing Bassanio come over. Seen in this light, I wonder Antonio has a great passion on getting together with Bassanio since Antonio feel a great comfort and relief from Bassanio through talking with and getting together with him. The moment they spend seems to give Antonio an inexplicable feeling

Take a look at learning attitude through Emerson's idea

Image
100/3/11 I've been thinking about today's lecture in American Literature. We were talking about American literary author, Ralph Waldo Emerson. And we read one of his works called "The American Scholar." In this essay, Emerson put more emphasis on independent thinking, which meant people should think differently on their own and avoid following others. Moreover, he stated that people's abilities were distributed by the whole soceity, which could not be unified as a complete man. Upon learning Emerson's viewpoint, I began to think about it. But it was weird that my family and friends barely mentioned such an important thinking, and I had never thought of this before. Ralph Waldo Emerson in his study in October 1879. Hence I wonder whether it is our culture affected by the way we think. You know that this society is full of richness and diversity. However, our education somehow is stuck in focusing on study only. If we spent less time on study, we sho

Ronan Keating, Who Touches My Heart Feeling

Image
Guess what? I begin to listen to the songs of Ronan Keating again. One night evening it was quiet, and the indistinct melody occurred in my mind. However I wasn't sure I had heard it before, so I kept trying my best to figure out what the song it was. And I was pretty eager for I wanted to listen to this kind of melody right now. Finally, Ronan's face occurred in my mind and one of his songs also followed his image. Yes, it is the song called "If Tomorrow Never Comes," which is quite an old song since I was about 12 or 13 years old, listening to his song everyday and could not control myself to stop while I was taking a bath, doing my assignment and even snatched a bit free moment in studying.  Ronan Keating, this handsome and humble guy has been rooted in my heart in a long period of time. Can you believe it? It has been almost ten years for I am still a fan of Ronan Keating. So when it comes to his songs again, physically, I got a goose bumps all over m

A Hidden Element: British Rock 'n' Roll

Image
Now I am getting better to deal with my messy things. As I trun back to listen my favorite British rock songs, I feel totally alive at the moment. It's quite hard to explain that Brit-rock music can heal my gloomy mentality and can even kick those messy things off out of my sight temporarily. Recently I've found some very excellent Brtish rock bands, and their performances are immensely extraordinary! Maybe that is how I begin to bend on them and their music. Furthermore, when I suffer from my queer habits(one of my personality which I call for myself), I get a quite strong feeling to grasp the meaning of lyrics from songs and listen to their music deep in thought. I know this kind of behaviour is pretty weird, yet I feel full of vigour and enthusiasm in exploring Brit-rock music. Most people think rock music is pretty noisy and defines it as a decadent music. But I don't think so. Actually, there are more rock music bands expressing themselves to satirize social injusti
