I feel the need to write something but I can't think of what I want to write so this is going to suffice in the meantime.

I've been trying to read all day (Pride and Prejudice! :)) but my mind's been getting distracted by random things. While reading I had one of those self-existential moments where I started wondering about why I do the things I do. And by do I mean like kinds of activities I do, like watch anime sometimes or obsess over the next movie/book I'm going to see/read. So in the middle of that book, I was starting to ask myself, do I really enjoy this?

Well, that was sort of a silly question I guess. So far I like P+P better than Sense and Sensibility, but I think I like Emma more. I dunno why but I kinda liked Emma a lot as a character, and up to the point where I'm at in P+P (page... 169 in my book) I haven't really been feeling Eliza Bennet yet. Err actually I have sort of been feeling her, but for some reason whenever I imagine the events of the book in my head, I keep seeing Emma instead of Elizabeth. Which is confusing considering that I don't see people's faces in my imagination to begin with, so it's more like the concept of Emma that I'm confusing with Elizabeth. Except that I mentally associate Emma with the image of Hermione I had when I was reading Harry Potter before the movies came out, which looked like that snobby smart girl from that one cram school Pokemon episode. Is this normal? -_-''

I mean, they both have their witty moments I guess. And both have this thing for obviously getting paired with the guy that they think they're least likely going to end up with. Except Elizabeth hates Mr. Darcy and Mr. Knightley is more like a good friend that criticizes Emma all the time.

Gaaah why am I starting to ramble about Jane Austen characters????

Speaking of weird mental associations, I realize that I do confuse different images in my head a lot. Like whenever I read about Kumiko, the main character's wife in the Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, I kept picturing Kenji's sister from the manga 20th Century Boys... (wasn't her name Kimiko? or something like that.) And whenever I think of Friend from the same manga, I hear the title music theme from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door because my brother kept playing that music at the time that I was reading it.

I've actually made a post about comparing music I've heard with the associations I make with them on a different blog, but I'm too lazy to recall all of it at the moment.

Oh, and I finally found another actress to add my list of "These actresses I like!": Ingrid Bergman. Although this is only on the basis of Casablanca, I guess. She strikes me as one of those people who I'd find too good for someone like me if I ever encountered her in real life. Too bad she's from another era.

Anyway, I'm going to go back to subvocalizing.
