I got my paper done for Black Literature and now this means that I'm officially done with school. It's so freakin' weird! All my life I've been going from one grade to the next and always going to classes and stuff and now...that's it! I'm done with college and there's no more classes! And thanks for all the congratulations too! I really appreciate it because I'm not expecting anything of that nature from my parents so it's nice to know that someone out there is proud of me.

You know when you're reading a book(or manga for most of you folks out there) and you come across a quote or section that just gets to you? Well, for my Black Literature class one of the books we had to read is called 'The Color Purple' and it's a wonderful book and cleverly written and there's a passage I really enjoyed. Trust me, it's not as long as you think and the way I'm spelling it and such is EXACTLY how it is in the book. This is on the concept of religion but I don't think people will find it offensive. When I read this I was like...oh my gawrsh! This is how I feel! And just so you know, they refer to God as "it." So c'mon people culturize yourselves a little out of your anime world:

"Listen, God love everything you love-and a mess of stuff you don't. But more than anything else, God love admiration."
"You saying God vain?" I ast.
"Naw," she say. "Not vain, just wanting to share a good thing. I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it."
"What it do when it pissed off?" I ast.
"Oh, it make something else. People think pleasing God is all God care about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back."
"Yeah?" I say.
"Yeah," she say. "It always making little surprises and springing them on us when us least expect."
"You mean it want to be loved, just like the bible say."
"Yes, Celie," she say. "Everthing want to be loved. Us sing and dance, and make faces and give flower bouquets, trying to be loved. You ever notice that trees do everything to git attention we do, except walk?"

I just found this passage so moving and I don't know why! Probably because I'm extremely unreligious and therefore, don't know myself if I believe in God but the way I've lived my life, is to notice the little things that make life enjoyable as opposed to caring what God thinks. But everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and I always listen to those who are religious so please don't bash me for my beliefs. That's just how I feel and seriously, I am NOT trying to offend anyone!!

I watched a bunch of Fruits Basket today to celebrate the fact I'm done with school work and I'm again reminded why this anime/manga is so freakin' incredible. There's a new anime quote of the week too in case you didn't notice. I think I mainly like FB is because all these characters have different problems but for some reason, they still hold onto hope and the idea that there is still something in this world worth living for. Boy, I'm so poetic today!^_^
