Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oh, and my advisor's comment when he saw me walking with a cane was, "You're looking old." (The only other comments I've gotten, other than "What happened?" were "You need to get a top hat and sing 'Hello, my baby, hello, my darling...'" and "We're going to have to get you a pimp hat to go with that.")

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You could totally pull off a pimp hat, Hil.
Just think, in a few months, your advisor will be one of those people you used to know that you don't have to deal with anymore.

“Not dead yet!”
Oh, and my advisor's comment when he saw me walking with a cane was, "You're looking old."
Okay, I've long suspected it, but this just confirms that your advisor is stupid. Seriously? Saying something like that to someone wielding a cane?
I'da taken his knees out.
But then, I've been told I have violent tendencies.

Compassionately intolerant

This guy sounds like a fantasy of a dick, of a jerk of a fever dream. How does he exist in nature?

Someday Hil's advisor should get what he deserves, but only after Hil's PHD is awarded her.
And in terms of this:
I'll bet Georgia would like to erase Deliverance the way Glenn Close would probably like people to just forget about her character in Fatal Attraction.
Sharon McCrumb wrote a character who set Emily Dickinson poetry to banjo music to scare tourists. I'll someone with the right look and banjo skills could pull that off.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
How does he exist in nature?
He doesn't. He exists in a math department.

Thank you Ginger! That quote was itching at the back of my mind where I could not quite reach it.

Our wings are not tired.
Uh, I was told I was hysterical and should do stand-up comedy. So I've got that going for me.
I could see this. With your deadpan delivery, you could be like Steven Wright.
