Despite being grounded, today was actually pretty good.
See, I hung out with some pretty extreme nerds. Probably the nerdiest nerds I know- D&D nerds.
And while I have no grasp on D&D, I actually enjoyed spending time with them. I'll probably never play, but nevertheless.
Actually, I might play if another opportunity rolls around. might. (Hear that, Trevor? Might.)
Anyway, as you guys know, I'm reading Fahrenheit 451 right now and I'm super conflicted by the main character. He's something of an anti-hero. And I adore anti-heroes, and I love writing them. I think there is something really amazing to be said about authors who can make people identify with people who aren't really great people. People who run from problems, or people who burn books, or any anti-hero. No one wants to admit that they're like Holden Caulfeild- he's not the guy you want to be or the guy you want to be with. But there's a little bit of Holden in all of us, and no one wants to admit it. But that doesn't change the fact that it's true. That's why it think anti-heroes are so great. They force us to see things in ourselves that no one wants to see.
