Act VIII

'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked. 'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland


Has anyone ever read the poem 'Jabberwocky' by Lewis Carroll? I want to know what he was on and I want some! If you have not here's a sample.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird,
and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back."

Lewis Carroll was noted in this piece for making up words. I recently wrote a paper titled "Spiffy Neat-o: The Art of Coining Words" and stumbled up on this wonderful piece of work! If you ever have free time, google 'new words' and click on some of the sites to see new words that have been added to dictionaries recently. Some are ringtone, ginornous, soduko, crunk and DVR. Pretty interesting to me! Also in my research I stumbled upon http://www.urbandictionary.com/ a hilarious site with slang and other fun words.

I have decided that I am going to become rich before I turn 30. I am going to start writing a children's book this winter during my time off from school. I think I have an illustrator lined up and now I just need a really good idea. I am going to start with a k-2 book with simple sentences but I need a more grand idea to start writing my series of young adult novels. I'm brainstorming, let me know if you have any great ideas for topics. I want something totally original and never done before.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

I am so super excited that Neal E. Boyd won America's Got Talent. He's so great and I can't wait to buy his first cd!

Also, anyone else watching Survivor: Gabon? I'm already hooked and am playing Fantasy Survivor while all my friends are playing Fantasy Football.

I have to tell about something that happen with my computer the other days.... On Thursday, my computer's CD-Rom drive quit working. I spend about an hour online chatting with a technictian to fiqure out the problem. Finally got it fixed. The VERY NEXT DAY....my AC Charger quit charging my computer. I spend 2 hours trying to get the not american english speaking hp people to understand that I live on 9th street. Try anunciating it enough to say over the phone and them imagine you are saying it to someone who does not understand english. It was an ordea. Needless to say, I drove to the FedEx place today to get my new adapter.

Wow, I am a typing machine tonight so I am going to go.
