Revelations of Orwellian Proportions

I recently had an alarming discovery that I have, literally without noticing, begun to annotate the stuff I read. I don't remember when it started, but I do remember last year when I had to read a novel for class and the teacher would be "checking for annotations" so we "better document our thoughts". After I read it, I flipped back through and violently circled and scribbled stuff every few pages so it looked like I was in deep thought over Fahrenheit 451.
I can tell you right now, no sophomore is deep in thought over Fahrenheit 451.
Up until recently, it has been more important both to me and my teachers to document the existence of thoughts than to actually have them.

Orwell Alert!

Orwell once said that writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist or understand.

*nods to self because Orwell has spoken*

If you don't have anything to say, don't say it at all. I repeat, do not say anything if you do not have something to say.

Holler at all those people that comment on YouTube videos and debate philosophy on social networking sites!

*I made sure to make this picture of Orwell extra big. It might be a little blurry but it's Orwell so everything's already pretty clear.
