Mostly I was posting in the BookClub threads and I was taking long leaves of absence :lol: After the last one I am a bit confused - I found so many interesting changes.

I am glad I am back, because I actually missed this place, but it turns out I don't know a lot about it any more. The new members for example - there are so many new users (don't get me wrong this is great :thumbs_up:thumbs_up:thumbs_up, i am just in some strange land of confusion right now :lol:). Then there are the new forum options as well which are also great and very tempting. So, it seems this summer was a season of changes.
I am not sure why exactly I am going to make this post, but I guess I just need to share my surprise. It seems like I am a new member once again - so much new people, new threads, new things to do around here. That's kind of nice though :D

There is something else I want to share - I really like the new profile view options: the message box, the friends and statistic option and the social groups one too. I am not very if some of them already existed (I have some vague impression for the one "Friends" but I am not 100% sure), but now they are useful and interesting looking :thumbs_up

Well, that's pretty much all I have to say, I hope you don't mind me sharing my changes-surprise&excitement with you :lol: ]]> Alexei https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?6319-Returning-to-LitNet https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?463-Some-Questions Sun, 04 Mar 2007 11:18:32 GMT Well, I finally finish the letter of thanks.

(at least till I realize I have to study for Monday)

The reason to bore you to death once again with my blog is that I finished The Stranger (what a impressing deed, the book has only 95 pages ;) ). Any way, this reading left me with the irresistible desire to write (for your unhappiness). That way it reflect my thoughts was too much normal in its appropriation. Like usually with similar books I think only for it, but this is not the main problem. The problem is that I am constantly trying to make parallels between it, La Nausée by Sartre and Steppenwolf by Hesse. Of course the first parallel is quite normal after Camus' works are influenced by Sartre's, but the second one is quite embracing, simply because I don't know with who to discuss (generally I am quite unsure when make some statement of this type in public; not that this is stopping me to think I am absolutely right in every aspect of my really mixed-up thoughts). So, please help me and tell me your opinion, if, of course, you haven't already died after you have read the first two sentences and have understand that they have something embarrassing – complete lack of sense.

Now, I have to apologize for the upper paragraph, but I think that the normal excuse for the moment lack of all sanity is not going to work this time, and so to cover up my mental instability I shall have to write something especially for you (whoever you are of course).

Ah, yes, I have a bit sensible idea, after all. Yesterday when I was discussing the blogs and the normal frequency of the entries with one friend of mine, he told me that the art should not be tamed. Well, ok, this statement is right wherever you are trying to see it, but there is something which is bothering my mind. Why in the blog we are supposed to write our new stories or poems? I don't see the point here, not because there is no sense in sharing your works, but because of the idea that there are sites especially for this. Why not to expose them there? I myself have ever preferred to have such kind of journal in the net, hoping it is going to help me to share my thoughts with the rest of the world (what a cliché, don't you think?). So once again I ask for your help, please tell me why it is normal (oh, how I hate this word) to post stories in the blog and not the description of the thoughts? ]]> Alexei https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?463-Some-Questions https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?458-Alexei-s-Blog Fri, 02 Mar 2007 20:42:01 GMT I have always wanted to have a blog, so why not here?

I don’t think I am going to post here my new short stories, only because I am too lazy to translate them on English. Still, there are some days when I have a need to write and then I shall write down my thoughts here. If you don’t find it boring to read the thoughts of one teenager, please, read.
So let’s start today…
There are so many things I want to say and not to say. For instance I am scared to death by the idea I have to write one letter. It has to be a letter of thanks, but I have no idea what to write down on the e-mail and as a valuable bonus my computer’s monitor is watching me incredibly stupid, but what I have expected after all my computer is not of the thoughtful ones. After these sentences I definitely know that I am loosing my time, and the time of the one reading this (if anyone reads it of course), but the hope to write something sensible after all these nonsense is still alive.
The main reason I am writing a blog, searching the net, sitting in front my computer is that I am incredibly bored. I have written already in my profile that I want to meet interesting people. This is my main problem; I don’t meet them because of two main reasons: first, there are too few of them and second, I am too much close in my own thoughts to meet anyone. That’s way I am sitting here and writing post after post: I hope that the dull eyed monitor (as I have said my is staring at me in an unbelievably stupid way) will soften my shyness (this is one of my greatest defects) and help me to get my doze of the interesting people’s thoughts. But even if I get my doze regularly this is not going to kick of my bad habit of emotional emptiness. You may be thinking this is ridiculous but I feel myself strangely empty, may be because all meaning has fly away from my life. I sometimes wonder if this have happen when all of my strong believe (except this in selfishness and the faith itself) have completely disappeared under the inevitable influence of my circle. Not that people around me shared these believes they just behaved in such way I couldn’t made other conclusions of the live itself. I think that may be it is about time to stop whining and get a life, but this doesn’t clear of my mind the idea of my own emptiness. ]]> Alexei https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?458-Alexei-s-Blog
