Endings

I'm developing a love for the endings of books. Especially ones that convey more than they actually have written. For instance:
"He loved Big Brother."
"It was the best bed he had slept in for years" (or something along those lines. I loved TMDG, solely for the end.)
I also really like sort of twisted endings. Ones that aren't expected and make me think. I like to just bask in the perfectness of the ending for several minutes, if it's good. And the best-written endings are the sad ones, I'm finding.

I knew this day was coming

Yesterday, my parents dropped it on me. "We expect straight A's from now on. There's no reason you shouldn't get them, except that you're lazy." (which is a perfectly legitimate reason in my book) They must be so disappointed, their perfect parenting plans didn't work. "We don't believe in grounding" turned into "No phone, no computer except for homework, no going out of the house" but they still refuse to say I'm grounded. "We don't care what grades you get, we just want you to do your best" turned into "You need to get straight A's." I knew this wouldn't last. I just hope they don't expect it next year. They made me take AP Lang. Writing is NOT a strong point for me. I'm not going to get an A. I know it already. Maybe I'm being complacent. Maybe I should worry more about getting into college. But I don't think that I will have to worry, maybe I will. Maybe when I'm out of Gunderson, where most kids don't care, when there's more competition I'll regret it. Maybe.

Obsession

When I like a song, I tend to sing it in my head incessantly. This usually isn't too annoying, because after all, I do like the song. But I get frustrated when I don't know the words. So I pick out a phrase or two and type them into Google and add the word "lyrics" to find them. Then I usually go on youtube and look for a video with lyrics (always have to be on the side. because when they'r on the video and timed wrong it annoys me to no end). And then I listen to it over and over and over for like 40 minutes straight. And then I am content that I know the song. And I become almost obsessed. I notice every phrase that is in that song that's used elsewhere. I hum or sing sing it to myself constantly. And this usually lasts a week or two. In case anyone cares, my song right now is Put The Phone Down by Pilot Speed. (who I'd never even heard of before today, although I'd heard the song. Radio is a wonderful invention.) I felt like blogging about it pretty must just because I can and need to blog.
