Does emailing a manuscript to yourself copyright it?

Reading is allegedly entertaining but I procrastinate reading novels because there are so many boring as fuck novels the pseuds tell me I have to read.

I can barely bring myself to read the last third of great expectations. I thought I was going to read a tale of two cities after this for the pseud cred but I can't. It's so awful. Dickens is so awful. The book is even worse than Nicholas Nickleby.

I'm not some plotnazi or someone who demands action. Not at all. But Jesus Christ, Dickens manages to write straight in to the centre of the "don't give a fuck" part of the imagination, like some sort of metaphysical (or psycho-physical) space explorer. You should read a Dickens book to experience this feeling. It's like some sort of epiphany where I stop thinking dualism is viable.

what do?

I feel so tortured over my lack of life philosophy that guides me minute by minute. It's a stupid thing to hope for but I still want it. I think deep down I don't have the courage to do what I want.

I came home from work and browsed the internet mindlessly for over 6 hours. Spooked if I care, spooked if I don't.

What is the best way to spend my Sunday as a subhuman ugly loser loner beta in London? I plan to sit around in my favourite station, feeling sad about life, browsing the internet on my phone, then walking around feeling sad about life. Then reading later on in the day. I'm in the gym now

>coffee ruins my sleep
>having coffee during lunch is the only good part of my boring work day

This really sucks
