New Years Resolution Fail--New Year's Beginning {PENTACLOVEL}
It's a fail. I know. It is. You don't have to tell me. I am already hiding in a dark and dusty corner. Not to mention, it's making me feel terrible. Like I'm a fail in life, and in everything. But in life, you must understand, there are times (years, more like) of failure, and years of prosperity. And I guess 2011 was a year of failure.
Extreme.
But 2012 will be different! Yes! (This is when tears stream down your face and you stand up from your seat and shout out YES!)
Yes, I will do something that will MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Okay.
This time, it's going to be small, because I'm a wimp. Maybe it's not small, actually. But at the point in life I am at (is that grammatically correct?), it's pretty big. Although, to others, it's pretty small.
I will read at least ten CLASSICAL books on my own.
Classic. Like--actual classic.
Not the boring books. But the actual classic--Oliver Twist, Around the World in 80 Days, Sherlock Holmes, Little Women, that kind. Before, in desperate attempts, my mother had bought a whole set of hard-cover classic books. Which made me feel really bad, because both she and I knew that I wouldn't read those books.
Of course, in desperate attempts, even I have tried--I've even gone to the extent of getting through half of the book--but I have never succeeded in finishing a whole classic book in my life.
Wow, isn't that disgustingly strange? I should feel ashamed of myself.
Truly.
Maybe I have, in my mind.
No, probably not.
I don't think Little Princess counts. XD
Or Little Prince.
Anyhow, here I am, a new year, a new beginning, a fresh start. I can't say all mistakes are erased, because they still exist, only in the previous year of 2011.
Speaking of years, Happy New Year!
I forgot to say that. Look at me, mannerless and such. And not having read through a whole classical book.
Hmph.
I really hope I succeed this time.
And I have all the things I need--a brain and eyes and a bunch of classic books in the bookshelves in the study-room sort of thing (actually it's not a room), or next to the piano, or in my room, or in the basement.
And hope.
What shall I name this?
Well, it has to have "classic" or some sort of word like that in there.
Pentaclassicnovellania.
Okay, that's a bit too long. Classicnovellania. Pentaclovellania.
Pentaclovel.
YAY!
It doesn't make sense, but Pentalclovel all the same!
Can you guess?
Penta= five
Cl=classic
ovel=novel
Five Classic Novels!
:D
Oh, the more I think of it, the more brilliant I think the name is! It is absolutely amazing, after last year, having trouble coming up with a proper name and sinking to the level which even Microsoft Word is better than me at.
"Untitled Document 1"
Untitled 2011.
PAH. Well this year, I will change both failure and failure in name!
PENTACLOVEL FOR THE WIN!
*Edit* Well, of course, I realized that five books is WAY too easy, so I have changed the five-book thing to ten books, which might be a bit overwhelming, but I will try all the same. Try, try, try. Wish me luck this year! C:
I'm getting way too excited, aren't I. :3 So happy.
Well, I'm screwed, because I'm so preoccupied with Battle of the Books and this Korean book I have to read for this Korean book contest thingy.
Whatever.
PENTACLOVEL ALL THE SAME, FOR THE WIN!
It sounds like a Narnia sort of land name, maybe a war. A war in Narnia. A noble, wonderful land in Narnia. Or a war in Narnia. I don't know.
Whatever.
Pentaclovel!
