Does it hold up? I mean, more than 1984?

Hm. It's been a while for both for me. My vague recollection s that Brave New World is actually more interesting to read even when you know how it ends. But that could just be that I've read it less often, so.

And now I'm off to take a quiz, yay.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Aw, mac's so cute! Such pretty eyes. And his haircut looks good. And I like the tile on the wall behind him.

I may be a trufle overwhelmed by the cutieheadness.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I always wonder which Buffistas knew each other before

I knew NoiseDesign and ChiKat (separately) before I ever even watched Buffy.

Mac is such a cutie! I loved the curls in the before photo, but the haircut really does suit him.

Well, I recruited Nutty to the board, so you could say I knew her first. And of course Nutty and Flea knew each other before. *grin*

Cool, SA!

I think I've read my quota of Virginia Tech stories this morning, and may have to make a personal moratorium on them for the rest of the day. I do find it bitterly ironic that the gunman targeted several foreign language classes, which are after all, about learning to communicate and understand, when he had such problems with that sort of thing himself.

it was lovely, theo.

My policy on the VA story, like most major disasters, is just to read the headline and skip the story itself.

What is even happening?

I read my fill last night. I think my fill was a grand total of three. Someone on my flist linked to a report by an AOL blogger who'd been in a writing class with him. He linked to two of the shooter's very disturbing plays. I wish I hadn't read them, and had stuck to the Globe's coverage.

Yesterday, someone mentioned being naturally concerned that the shooter's resident status was mentioned. In the article I read in The Boston Globe, it was mentioned to note that he was legally entitled to buy guns.
