Hello to whoever is taking the time to read this. The time I am writing this blog at eleven forty-three at night. This is the first blog that I have posted in a while and I actually feel good writing about it. I don't care whether there are five hundred people reading this, or if there are even five reading this, I just like having that feeling that someone is listening. I love writing. It's one of the few things I can do that people actually, or at least claim they do, enjoy. For the past four or five months I haven't really had anything thats made me want to write any blogs at all. I don't know what it is but I had the urge to write the very same blog that you are reading right now. I feel the happiest I've ever felt since around last October. I hope that at least one person is reading this, realizing that I haven't fizzled out of the blogging community yet. Give me a little feedback if you did take the time to read this. It's a big world out there and you have to make a lot of noise to be heard.

Twelfth Night, Act II

So far in this story I like the character of The Fool. He is a smart, but funny man. He is usually getting into trouble, but is somehow able to outwit anyone. I think that I am most like Orsino or the Fool. Orsino is stuck liking someone,, and that someone doesn’t in the least bit like you back, but ends up having someone else like him, and he doesn’t even know it. I think I am like the Fool because I am always getting into trouble, but I can somehow find a way to get myself out of it. The only difficult part of the book for me is some of the phrases seem a little strange, and I have no idea what they mean. I think later on in the book The Fool will be put on trial, and possibly killed for working at both castles. I also think that Viola will not tell Orsino that she is a girl, and Orsino will finally merry Olivia. I thought Act II was a little better then Act I. It was funnier, and had more interesting things happening. The part with Malvolio getting the fake love note from Olivia is going to be funny as the story goes on. I can’t figure out what is going to happen with the Orsino, Olivia and Viola/Cesario love triangle. In most normal stories you would figure that Viola would tell Orsino she’s a girl and she loves him, and they would live happily ever after, but Twelfth Night is one of the farthest things from any normal story I’ve read. My favorite character’s in the book so far are the Fool and Sir Toby. I like the Fool because he is a very witty, funny person. Sir Toby is probably one of the funniest people in the story. He is always drunk, and always trying to seem intelligent and respectable. He is very entertaining and is a very big idiot.
