Generic Christmas Postaherpderp C:

So I haven't really been feeling excited for Christmas for the past few years, probably because I'm a depressed heartless scrooge. Everyone I know is going "omgzguiselikeitschrrriiisstmasss", and I don't really understand. I don't see why specific points in time have to be designated for feeling happy, or being joyful and sharing feelings with each other. I guess it's mostly because I've been going through "hey there's a medication for that" kind of feeling for a long time, and I don't want to accept it or partake in it as much as I did in 9th grade or before then. Other times I'm glad I get a week off for something I think is fodder.
And also my hair is turning from blue to green, how festive, quite.

And also, I found something that describes me.

reaction/review to Curious Incident

I thought that A Curious Incident was an okay book, but there were some things I did not like. I thought it was cool that there were graphs and images and the like set in with the text, to be able to understand what Christopher was talking about. I didn't like how Christopher acted in some situations, such as hitting the officer when he touched him, but it was supposed to help show his character and how his aspergers affected his actions. I think that the character of Siobhan was a nice addition, and I liked how she was written, because she wasn't too judgemental or rude toward Christopher because of his mentality. I didn't like Toby, because I thought he wasn't very necessary for the story, and even distracted Christopher.

I think that because of Christophers aspergers, you're supposed to understand that he can't always be the most sympathetic or empathic character, but I didn't really like him because he wasn't as understanding of a character that I would have liked, or gotten along with, and I think he shouldn't have run away from home so suddenly, and should have talked with his father about his mother and going to see her together, instead of running off by himself, which could have been potentially dangerous.

Sherlock v. Curious Incident

I think that Sherlock Holmes is similar to The Curious Incident because of how Sherlock and Christopher both analyze situations logically. Personally, I think that Sherlock is more emotional and better at realizing how events and people connect to each other, while Christopher is logical and looks at things and uses face value to explain things. I also think that Sherlock is better at being able to socialize and handle social events or daily occurences better than Christopher, and also has better "quirks", because they are more socially acceptable than Christophers.

A similarity I noticed was how Christophers mothers and Irene acted alike, how they left, then started to come back into the main protagonists lives. I don't think that Christopher's mother was as beneficial to him as Irene was to Sherlock. I also think that there wasn't much of a "Watson" in Curious Incident, but Toby was more of a silent support system for Christopher as he dealt with going out of his comfort zone.

Curious Incident - Prime Numbers

I don't think prime numbers can be compared to "real life", because life isn't always logical. There might be an incident where if you do something, you will know exactly what will happen, because that is how some things are, and can't be changed. Sometimes, however, there can be multiple outcomes to a situation, depending on what you do, or what you can change. Life also has patterns, some are planned and consistent, such as a bus or train schedule and can't change because it would disturb the whole process, and some are just habitual, like waking up and performing your daily routine, but may change slightly.
  
I also think that life has rules that should be followed, whether they be put in by a group of people, or if they're just general logic. (ex: if you jump off that cliff, you will probably die, so you wouldn't want to jump off that cliff if you wanted to have a fun recreational activity.).

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time: Thoreau

I personally think that we should not have to give up our possesions or live simply for our life to be enhanced. If you don't desire "things", then you should live the way you want to, because you shouldn't need to insinuate  a certain way for someone to live for them to be "happy". I also think that having phyiscal possesions doesn't mean you're being "dominated" by them, but having them to enhance your personal way of life, creating the balance you desire. I think saying when someone is being "dominated" by things is very subjective.
