I'm bored, anyone wanna talk? About literally anything, you can even vent to me if you want. I just need something to keep me from going crazy.

@The1mperfectDiary I've recently been reading the "Barsoom" series of novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs. He is more famous as the creator of Tarzan, but actually found his Sci-fi series of books more entertaining. In truth he pretty clearly has a formula he uses when he writes. In both the Tarzan and Barsoom series we have a main character who is borderline superhuman in their abilities (Tarzan/John Carter) stranded in a mysterious place (jungle/Mars) and taught how to survive by the natives (apes/Thraks). Eventually he rises up to become their leader (Lord of the Apes/Chieftain) and falls in love (Jane/Dejan Thoris).
