 What is with me and alliteration? Seriously. It must be my all-nighter curse or something... (OH NOES 'SOMETHING''S A BRYER NO-NO WORD!). But anyways, so either I'm just tired and getting delusional (hey... I've used that word like, 3,000 times tonight!) or every single sentence I write in my essay has all of these crazy clever words that all start with the same letter. Unintentionally. And this isn't the first time it's happened! When I did my summer work and was up until 5am, I re-read it and I had all of these amazing alliterations ("bicycles to Bokonon" WHAT?!). Yeah. Wtf, mate! Whatever the case is, I'm pretty sure I'm going batty. And I've still got a couple more paragraphs to write. :P Well, at least they'll rhyme...

Junior year is insane!
I take it you read Cat's Cradle. It's my favorite book ever! What did you think?

Cat's Cradle was amazing!! I loved it. It made me really, really admire Vonnegut-- I mean, the guy's a frickin' genius! He has to be like, the only author who can have his characters blatantly state the point of his entire novel in a random response to a clarinet performance. Once I get the chance to read books for fun (books for fun? what?) I'm totally going to hunt me down some more Vonnegut. (:

DEFINETLY read Slaughterhouse Five and Man Without a Country. Man Without a Country isn't really a novel, its more an autobiography, but it is brilliant and will make you want to Conjur Vonnegut from death just so you can have coffee with him in NY and talk about life.

I promise you, your alliteration issue is merely your poetic side taking over what the rest of your brain shut down due to lack of sleep. xD
