(no subject)

Do you ever just not want to do anything except read pointless and yet fascinating stuff on the internet? I do. And I just spent over an hour, probably more like two hours, reading old movie reviews for no reason other than I felt like it.

And it's not like I'm procrastinating, because there isn't acually (shocker!) any work I should really be doing, and I still have plenty of time after RENT rehersal, I just wanted to waste time on the internet.

People wonder how come I know so many quotes and useless pieces of trivia, and this is why. I spend time on the internet, reading lj communities, looking up trivia, scanning imdb, and just finding random sites to look at. It's completely pointless and I love it.


And another unrealted thing: I understand that lj communities need to have rules, but I don't understand why they make a lot of the rules they do. They're just stupid sometimes.

And they don't have to be so mean and snooty about accidentally breaking a rule, especially a trivial rule that didn't like offend anyone or anything, and extra-especially when the person apologizes.

I'm really tempted to start a community with no rules, where people can post whatever the hell the want and offend whoever they want and be as vulgar as they want, but I know that's a bad idea and somebody'd post child porn or something and I'd get arrested, and so I'll just sit here are rant about stupid lj community rules and how they've taken all the fun out of the Remus/Sirius community because they suck.

And I got all upset about it like a month ago, and I'm just ranting about it now because I feel like it.

And the sunset is absolutely breathtakingly georgeous and there's no way for me to save it and it bothers me.

*sigh*

This Is All Just My Personal Opinion of Course, But I Feel it Quite Strongly

I never heard the phrase "art for art's sake" until this year, but now I'm enamoured with it.

It explains how I feel about poetry. Poems aren't meant to be torn word from word and line from line; they're meant to be read (out loud preferably) and enjoyed and mulled over and felt.

That's why poems are exempt from basic ordinary rules of grammar and word usage and sentence structure. They're beyond that.

If you need to analyze every word of a poem to get its meaning, then you've missed the point entirely.

Poems aren't written for anyone or anything other than the poet, (even if you think they are, they really aren't) and they aren't written for any other purpose besides simply to be written; to put into physical form a feeling.

Poems are good simply because they are, or they're bad simply because they are. You like a poem because it hits something in you, and you dislike a poem because it misses the mark. Poetry is the simpliest complicated thing in the world.


No matter what anyone ever says, I will always believe these things.
