A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

For me, it wasn't the Poetics; it was "In Defence of Poesy." Argh. Although it did enable me to discourse semiintelligently on "tabula rasa" and the themporary suspension of disbelief when I got into my 2nd year 17th C. Lit course with my toughest teacher evah, grad school or no.

Edit: And why I put tabula rasa in quotations, I do not know -- I blame it on cough syrup (oh, that it were codiene-based! sigh) -- but the mispelling of temporary I blame entirely (albeit subconsciously) on JR Ward.

So you have to make an hour long RT in order to activate something you have had for 6 years and also to make 6 years of back payments for something that wasn't your responsibility?

Really, msbelle, I don't get you and your first-world diamond shoe probs. What's the issue?

Billy Budd didn't put me to sleep, because of the amount of time I spent imagining strangling Billy Budd. Note to authors: If everyone wants your character dead, when you finally kill him, all readers feel is relief.

Hee. I have always found Melville highly unpalatable, myself.

Although nothing matches the unreasonable yet still fiery hate-torch I have carried for Ernest-Fucking-Momma-MAde-Me-Wear-Dresses-And-I-Overcompensated-in-Too-Many-Ways-Hemingway.

oh, man, I realized at late o'clock that I had a bunch of old pics on my hard drive that I hadn't uploaded to flickr and thanks to you people OF COURSE I had to do it right away.

I dunno; they might think you're rabid. It's NYC, could happen. They have coyotes on the subways now.

They'll either treat you with more respect or just shoot ya.

lisah, Rockford Park isn't in Rockford, Ill, is it? Because if it is.. that's my father's hometown! (add to the freaky odds.)
