But Tess of the D'Ubervilles was so confusing!

OMFG!
I <3 Tess! Legit, one of my fave books, right next to Jane Eyre!

Hey Cassidy, you ever miss Mr. Barth? lol

Wow, that's hilarious.
I guess I miss his humor sometimes, although I so don't miss it enough to ever go back, and his taste in novels always pissed me off. I loved Tess of the D'Ubervilles and he loved Gulliver's travels (which made me want to die).

Marry/Fuck/Kill Twilight Vamps Go

Hmm, I feel I should remind you that unfortunately they are all fictional characters.
But if they weren't it'd break down like this;
Marry: Carlisle, I <3 me some PFac.
Fuck: Emmet
Kill: Edward, although I'm totally in love with the character, I don't know I could live with a dude who could hear all of my naughty thoughts about his brothers and sisters.

There's Always A Flip Side

H. D. [Hilda Doolittle]

Helen

All Greece hates
the still eyes in the white face,
the lustre as of olives
where she stands,
and the white hands.

All Greece reviles
the wan face when she smiles,
hating it deeper still
when it grows wan and white,
remembering past enchantments
and past ills.

Greece sees unmoved,
God's daughter, born of love,
the beauty of cool feet
and slenderest knees,
could love indeed the maid,
only if she were laid,
white ash amid funereal cypresses.

Whenever things look rough, remember that there's always another way to see them.

You can't appreciate the highs without experiencing the lows as well.

Somebody Get's It

Over at the-f-word, there's a heartening post about some hooligans at the University of Southern California who decided they were going to act out and commemorate NEDAW for all to see.


Kudos to you guys,
