Detention and rambling nothings.

Detentions suck. It's not that they're painful or anything negative like that, they're boring. You sit in a room in a chair for some indescript amount of time staring at a wall. iPods aren't allowed, so you're stuck listening to the heavy Wisconsin accents of whichever staff is assigned to monitor you. Very few things irritate me more than the Wisconsin accent, and that list is confined to the word "silly." I hate that word so much. I son't even get started on how much I hate that word, or this blog will be entirely devoted to how much I hate it. I tell you... GRR! The Wisconsin accent is so annoying. How do you spell leg? L-E-G. Not L-A-Y-G. STOP SAYING LAYG. IT'S LEG. THERE IS NO SUCH WORD AS LAYG. Same with egg. It's EGG, not AYG. It's not malk or melk, it's milk. Humans frustrate me SO MUCH sometimes. This is me stopping myself from fixating on that. So I'm sitting in a detention fixating on these things that irritate me. The Wisconsin accent. The word "silly." Erin. Guy stealer. Ditzy, moronic slut. 'nuff said. I wouldn't normally say something that outright offensive, but I haven't met one person of the female persuasion that knows her that disagrees with me. And I just feel that strongly about it. Detention is such a waste of time. I'm busy focusing all my energy on these negative things when I could be writing. I just can't focus on the nightmare sequence I'm in the middle of now, despite me almost being out of it. I know Silver, the character narrating the nightmare sequence, physically kicks himself out of the dream sequence and his knee connects with the back of the chair in front of him, thus waking him up. But, the character Lenn is sleeping in the chair in front of him. There is no way a kick that hard would not have woken him up, but I can't decide if I want Silver to brood first or for Lenn to confront him outright. I really want him to have that moment to brood on the dream, but I know that if I do that, by the time Lenn confronts him, he'll have his mind back together entirely and will have his whole fake image back up that he's using to protect Erica, his sister, the entire time. I want Lenn to know the real Silver, even if no one else does. However, I've got it pretty much hammered out that one character knows that Erica is not a boy in the regiment. Erica is pretending to be her little brother, Cal, so he doesn't have to fight in the war. They're almost a perfect duo, with Silver's fake arrogance drawing all the attention and Erica being shy enough to avoid any attention cast her way, the should have been able to do it. But I decided a few weeks ago that one other character is going to be told... and the whole story behind that is long and detailed and I don't want to go into it right now. Whereas I don't think I'll go so far as to reveal to Lenn that Erica is not Cal, I might make it so Lenn knows Silver isn't as arrogant as he makes out to be. Garg. But before I make any decisions, I have to know more about the roles that Lenn plays versus the roles that Oliver plays. They intrude on each other's territories as far as the parts they play. Oliver can't be a big brother figure, but Lenn doesn't really have to be either. Lenn is a constant third person guy who pulls everybody together when they're falling apart. Oliver is one of them, but at the same time is very different. I have lots of people who stick up for the youngest of the group, but Oliver's kind of the counter balance to that, sticking up for everyone and anyone who needs it. I know everything possible to know about Oliver, though. It's not him I need to be focusing on, it's Lenn. And that frustrates me. I get the feeling Lenn is an only child. But I don't know how that works into his personality. I need Lenn's character to be more concrete before I can do anything more with him. A;WOJFAWOIEFJUAO948,IHJU4O9UUDOIVFJU. That's my sentiments on the matter. I'm going to actually do something constructive now. Bye. :D
