"We have no choice over what colour we’re born or who our parents are or whether we’re rich or poor. What we do have is some choice over what we make of our lives once we’re here."

SJ is happy. Up for some R-R Theory...?
I am content.
Really really content. I like my life. I am not bound to any relationship or friendship. None is dependant. When relationships and friendships are unhealthy it really drains you. But I'm not in that situation.. I am social social but I love to be alone and read and think and absorb. "Whoever does not know freedom does not know solitude." I am free.
Lately I have been reading reading reading. Not books - but Google Reader has become my best friend. I love to absorb knowledge and art and beautiful things and opinions.
I subscribe to photographic blogs, fashion blogs, political rants(Read: David Farrar), Uni students who are politically active, School students who have quirky perspectives on the quotidian, Wellington arts scene updates, a budding NZ film maker trying to make it in the States' blog, numerous friends who have really awesome thoughts on God, "music futurists" i.e Gerd Leonhard (Year 13 media loves Gerd), the Sartorialist. The best thing is it all counts as study (Well: mostly...) Media schol study at least.
"The fastest way to economic suicide is to put walls around your content." - Gerd Leonhard. MUSIC INDUSTRY DID YOU HEAR THAT?
Tonight I investigated reader-response theory. I updated the page "Theory and Stuff" on our schol wiki and I enjoyed myself! I am actually a nerd.. a lit nerd. AND THAT'S OKAY :) I encourage anyone who may read this to check out the wiki - has some good thinking lit schol stuff.
