Terry Pratchett's thoughts on Truth

Tue Nov 10, 2009, 4:49 PM
  • Mood: Emotional
  • Listening to: Fellowship of the Ring - The Bridge of Khazad Dum
  • Reading: just finished Unseen Academicals
  • Drinking: lots of water
So I haven't been up to much, but I did just finish reading "Unseen Academicals" and found this part to be rather interesting.

" 'What happened to him?' said Juliet.
'Oh, the truth can be a little bit upsetting,' said Nutt. 'But he will get over it and feel better.'
'I would very much like to know the truth myself, Mister Nutt, thank you very much,' said Glenda...
'It's a kind of medicine with words,' said Nutt, carefully. 'Sometimes people fool themselves into believing things that aren't true. Sometimes that can be quite dangerous for the person. They see the world in a wrong way. They won't let themselves see that what they believe is wrong. But often there is a part of the mind that does know, and the right words can let it out.' He gave them a worried look."

Anyways, just interesting. Pictures of a baby blanket I made may or may not appear at some point. I hope all is well with all of you.

So, I was trying to figure out the best way to say this, and I think I've figured it out.

"You're not the only one with DDs, sucka!"

Brandon's not gonna ask, so he's got me doing his dirty work. He wants you to join his Summer poem contest. You and "Brian Ryce".

It'd be nice to have more than 4 of us.

Ehh.. I'll think about it... writing 100 poems for S&G seems like a lot of work for nothing.

Oh, I agree, H&S.

On the other hand, you haven't submitted a single literary thing to DA in over 2 years. The "something" you require to do said contest might simply be the act itself. It appears that your talent needs a bit of polishing after so long a time.

Then again, I may just be assuming that since you haven't posted, you haven't written, which would be a careless mistake on my part. If indeed you have been writing in all that time but keeping it to yourself, by all means ignore my otherwise well crafted argument.

BTW, I've decided that when I'm home, I'm gonna dress up in a T-shirt with a picture of a weed leaf on it, a backwards baseball cap and come visit you and Daniel.

It's about time you and Brent finally hung out with your lungs out!
:iconzuzi:
Awesome! I'll make sure Daniel has his camera ready so we can treasure the memories forever. ;)

Hey, I haven't talked to you in years, I just wanted to be sure that all was well.
