the annotated lolita and the annotated alice truly are some of the best annotated editions out there and i'm blown away by how appel and gardner respectively provide so much detail out there for opening up new and clearer understanding(s) of the original texts
#post hash tag palefiregate i've been so happy to dig into the annotated lolita and i'm so impressed with it AND how it allows me to notice#more and new details about nabokov's writing itself#it makes me want to revisit the different annotation projects i took on in grad school#obviously appel and gardner are doing very different things but i think those two are gold standards in this type of work

Remembering in elementary school when annotations were required parts of reading assignments, but I never needed them so I never wrote any down, and then I'd lose points even though I'd get all the follow-up questions right. And then I try to force myself to write them and then I'd lose points for doing them wrong
#cricket chirping#Elementary school was Not a good time for me JGNSKNFK#How do annotations even work ''they help you understand the material!'' ''But I understand the material#''Write down words you don't know!'' I already know all of these words#Then the examples they showed me basically just summarized the paragraph but then I try to do that and that's wrong somehow

i was SO SURE your url was something LUKE said in that interview they were asked about their FLIRTING TECHNIQUES which 5sos of course made as chaotic as possible while basically answering ‘we actually don’t know how to effectively flirt’ was he quoting the book too?
oh oop lol no unfortunately not related to 5sos at all, just my unhealthy love for john green’s like definitely most sad novel (imo at least). i’ll have to find that interview bc i don’t think i’ve seen this one???
in case you were curious - the battered copy of the book i mentioned along w the page w the quote


some boy (bc of course lol) borrowed it to annotate when i was like 15? the ‘maybe you need to be more forward when actually flirting’ was scribbled in probably on some band trip in 2013? not the best advice i ever got but it inspired a url I’ve used since then so
#there’s a different note like 3 pages before that about chain smoking#i rlly knew how to pick em as a teenager lemme tell ya#this book is so hilarious and so cringe to look back on#it’s annotated by like five different people#there’s like half of pages just torn out#my friend Abby from school wrote song lyrics and drew flowers in the covers#i never kept a diary in hs but i annotated and passed around my books and that’s close enough#sorry pal this is not even an answer anymore I’m just feeling nostalgic now lol

sometimes i read some people's literary analysis and i'm like geez, at times this can be quite gushy and sentimental... but then i look in the mirror and i'm like well. i'm really rather gooey myself
#reading my feedback on my shakespeare conference paper on aphra behn's the young king and cymbeline#i've been (rightfully) critiqued (though not harshly; very sympathetically; even endearingly) for the amount of just LOVE i have in my essa#one person said (and i dont disagree w them) that i told more than showed and i could've used more of the actual text in my paper#i agree! i do not feel that my paper is the best representation of the themes and ideas i wanted to explore#i was very very constrained by the word count. which i amply went over anyway.#i had too many big ideas and i boiled them down instead to what i was most impassioned by#for how many notes i took on my rereading of the young king and cymbeline. lol JESUS i went crazy#my annotations were kinda all for naught#unless i were to rewrite and expand on it all someday; a worthy idea but not necessarily what i see myself doing#as im currently not even in higher academia anymore and just a public school employee#im not publishing my literary analyses! lol. unless someone wants to commission me (no one does)#tales from diana#both responses ive gotten so far are very nice. the first one especially#they said they felt a real kinship w my love of literature and the past and my passion for marginalized and female authors#and i mean. come on. it's a SHAKESPEARE conference we're going to here. i think that's the audience lol#preaching to the choir#when i speak of these things to my family i may as well be talking about paint drying

I finally passed my permit test today!.
It took me 6 tries, including this one
But its good i finally got jt
#people are constantly saying easy it is to get it. but. its taken me a while#i had to study for it#yesterday i went through the who book. “annotating” the important parts. (i was just underlining them)#i guess it is easy for most people. but its still not all that fair to say#everything in me wants me to feel bad about it. but i really shouldn't. its taken me a lot to get it.#it can feel embarrassing. especially since many of my friends are quite advanced with this stuff.#either going to college early. skipping a grade and still doing really well in school. or already having a license.#im going to celebrate. instead of feeling bad.#I'll never get my first drivers permit again. why should a make myself sad. thats not fair to me.#how can fairness only apply to everyone else?.#the guy at the front said he needed me to show a little more excitement. i feel my brain seems to think i should only feel guilt.#thats just no way to live.#it has me frustrated. i don't want to feel guilty at all.#i think ill just stop engaging with it. i don't know what else to do

i've already written about these quotes in my own drrr novel notes but i have to post about it here too just because i need to speak about it again but
narita describing izaya as 'very difficult to grasp or classify' here in his first real appearance and introduction is so UGHHHHH it's so fucking good. izaya is like an enigma and he is so complex and he's got all these things going on with him that all work to make him so so so beautiful and so i just really like that narita worded it like that. i love to observe izaya like he's a specimen under the microscope.
the other things i highlighted were also very important to me i think the 'anything that wasn't himself' is also a good glimpse into izaya's personality and the way his mind works. 'equally pleasant face' i just like that one cause i like when they call him beautiful in the story . <3
this also made me feel like i was going to ascend from my couch first time i reread it a while back. how interesting is it that narita describes mikado's feeling as though his 'entire existence would be denied' by the very man who so obviously struggles with facing his own humanity and instead chooses to see himself as an omnipotent figure. i just idk i'm not even going to try and get further into it bc i'm already like just feeling like i need to start rolling around and pulling my hair out but my god i love izaya orihara so much he truly is the goat he is MY goat 🙏🙏🙏
#do u know how hard it was for me to type out coheremt thoughts on this instead of just going#RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and adding 30 reaction images#anyways. opened up adobe acrobat just to highlight the text in cute colors.#i need to get back to my drrr novel reread/annotating bc i have so many thoughts about izaya#but the main thing stopping me other than school is that#i have it all on my izaya site... and i dont even have a set layout for it yet...#if anything i am really unhappy with how it currently is because the quote(s) and my annotations are all together#and i want them separate.#actually the way i did the shizaya fob lyrics thing is inspiring me to just go and use tooltips but like.#i dont like to use js when i dont need to...#i might just try doing a side by side thing but then i'd have to use scrollboxes to ensure the sdame height#sorry. sorrey. rambling again. i will be quite now#mine

desperately trying to remember if there are any books i read this year that i cannot find on my library borrowing history or simply cannot remember. i am so bad about remembering books. LITERALLY REMEMBERED ONE AS I'M WRITING THIS POST. anyway i am attempting to compile a list of books that i've read this year so that i can reference it without having to forget everything. wish me luck. i have fifteen titles on there right now but i can't shake the feeling there's something i'm forgetting
#checking my shelf of books i got for school??? idk#none of this is helped by the way that i have seven thousand books waiting to be read right now and all of them are on my mind#and several of them i am partway through. but i cannot put bell hooks all about love on my list yet i just can't#opened this is how you lose the time war today. not liking it super much but it's not even 200 pages so we'll pound through it#and then my three books from merc (princess bride and two books from the fight club guy)#and all about love. and interview with the vampire#WITCHER NOVELS!!! I READ WITCHER NOVELS AGAIN!!!! adding two more books to my list#god i'm not even through blood of elves yet. awful. this is why i can't keep anything up i forget my ebooks exist as options#then i should read that book about eleanor roosevelt that my grandma got me. as a token to her dskfjghs#wanna reread the hours! have a physical copy just for that so i can annotate#gotta finish the once and future king.#all that to say that there are many books that will be on this list once i actually sit down and read some of them#have to remind myself that i Am actually doing good i'm at over a book a month rate. this is fine#two books a month rate! actually!#shout out to library due dates for being a fantastic motivator#seventeen books on the 'read' list this year. this is fine bracken. you're doing good#realistically this is SO much better than previous years 😭 good stuff. just gotta keep reading#valentine notes#list that would have been so useful to have when we were doing that book recommendation thing

If you see me posting motivational memes in excess please forgive me
#a sock speaks#I'm going to battle to the death with my instinct to self sabotage via procrastination#grad school tag#last week I just sat and felt bad about myself instead of relaxing or working#how am I going to finish this degree if I dread every little assignment?#I have got to find what I love in this somehow#it's not so terrible. I have a little assignment on Pharisees this week and I have. thoughts. so that's good#I ought to post the Bible Odyssey article link here. Pharisees get a bad rap and they deserve more nuance.#I've also got an annotated bibliography which is not scary except inasmuch as I fear the inconvenience of labor#and then a revision of the Jeremiah paper I basically haven't touched since May. that's the scary part#also a Hebrew quiz and translation assignment and a bajillion pages of reading but those are problems for Monday-Wednesday#if I get the revision the Pharisees assignment and the annotated bibliography done tomorrow then Monday will be so easy#unfortunately I don't believe in my strength of will that much#today I found a site that has you progressively acquire NT Greek vocab. I just watched a show and did vocab for like 4 hours nonstop#I am not immune to inertia

Idk why it just occurred to me that I can put the Bible on my e-reader lol
#im always wanting to be more organized and intentional w my Bible study and i keep#having it in my head that i have to physically annotate on these tissue paper pages like all the sunday school gworlies have done#but i discovered how much i love digital annotations last year so i think i need to find a decent version of the bible for my reader

never have i been more annoyed than at this piece of geoscience homework. why are we defining disconformities vs non conformities as periods of time between rock records but disconformities are between sedimentary rock and non conformities are between igneous/metamorphic and then sedimentary on top. and then not label in the diagram that i have to identify the type of uncoformity with whether fucking rock is sedimentary igneous or metamorphic. WHAT HTE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM!!!! and, while we're at it, why am i havingg to lable which law of relative dating lets me know the age of rock layers when its two!! and you dont clarify which one to put!! i know this rock is older than the rocks on top both because its tilted while the ones on top arent (law of original horizontality) and also! because! its on top of the rocks! that are older than it! (law of superposition) WHICH FUCKING LAW DO YOU WANT ME TO PUT???
#and of course the one day of class i skipped was the day of class where i could have asked her this question. SIGHHHH#i hope u guys will enjoy my complaining about geoscience we are finally starting to learn things in this class#<-its says as if we havent had our first unit test. we're just finally having homework that makes us use our brain#SIGHHHH#its just so -_-#i think i had this exact same issue when i took the harder version of this class in high school too lmao#i hope my teacher looks at my overly annotated image and understands how i drew the conclusion to differintiate the non conformity vs disco#formity#and also understands why i listed 2 different laws for that one rock layer#i hope she doesnt see it as like cheating or whatever LMAO#whateverrrr i have one of the best grades in this class since i already know everything i got the second highest grade on our first units#tests. hpefully she trusts me

thinking about how husband!nanami kento is preemptively budgeting for your unborn baby (✿ ) contains. pregnancy 𓏲࣪
on the morning after your second positive test, your husband’s standing hunched over the kitchen table—he’d left bed quietly, with the soft deliberation he applied to most things in life. in front of him sits a mug of untouched coffee gone tepid. a yellow legal pad: column after column of figures in tidy script, annotated with 0.5 uni ball pen.
you hover in the doorway a moment, admiring his profile: barefoot in his slacks, hair slightly mussed. he doesn’t hear you until you shift your weight, floorboard creaking underfoot.
“seven weeks,” you say, by way of greeting.
“approximately,” his gaze drops back to the paper. “which, optimistically, gives us about seven months to account for the first year’s expenses.”
“did you know,” he murmurs, “the average cost of a child’s first year is nearly two million yen? that doesn’t include school fees. or medical insurance. or college tuition.”
you step closer, skimming the columns. food, childcare, emergency savings, medical contingencies. even a line labeled ‘adjusted parental leave income.’
“this one here,” he says, tapping his pen against a neat cell, “is a preliminary projection for an international preschool program. in the event we don’t stay in tokyo. though it’s still early.”
you blink. “ken. our child is the size of a blueberry.”
“irrelevant at this stage. what matters is equity of access.”
you fold yourself into the space between his chair and the table, arms looped around his neck, cheek pressed against his temple. his pen halts midstroke.
“i’m not worried,” he adds finally. “i just want to plan ahead. i don’t want you—or them—to ever need anything.”
you kiss the top of his head. “you’re gonna be a great dad.”
he hums, then adds under his breath, “do you think two air purifiers would be too much?”
#he’s going to give the baby a trust fund before it has a spinal cord#❀ 𝓚𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 ༊*·˚#kento nanami x reader#nanami kento fluff#jjk#kento nanami x y/n#jjk fanfic#jjk x reader#nanami#jjk x you#jujutsu kaisen#jjk nanami#nanami x reader#nanami fluff#jjk fluff#husband!nanami#kento nanami#nanami kento#kento x reader#jjk kento#nanami kento x reader#nanami kento x y/n#jjk x y/n
