If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.

Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Do people in stories about magic ever take the time to actually read those magical contracts they sign away their lives on?
Fixed.

Say what you will about Shakespeare, Julius Caesar is a great play.

I've had this account for a long while, actually. It's a backup I use sometimes.

I don't particularly like the username GameSpazzer. It's something You Tube picked out for me as a default, and now I'm stuck with it.

I'm using this one now both because of the contest (and having the Tonberry confuses people due to the avatar-based RP I'm in), and because my internet has been acting up all week and the browser this account is logged into works faster than my normal one.

I find myself wondering what it would feel like to float naked in space, anime-style.

Not realistically, obviously. You would just freeze to death...

Shakespeare is so much easier to understand when you see it performed.

On the page it's almost a different language.

I agree entirely, I hated it until I saw a play of Midsummer's Night Dream.

Hell even just having it be read aloud is a huge difference.

I once heard an excerpt of a dramatic reading of Beowulf in the Old English, and I could actually understand a lot of it.

I never understood why English classes insist on teaching Shakespeare or even poetry through reading. They're performance mediums. They don't work if you just read them.

It's like if someone just made you read the screenplay to Citizen Kane.

Most of the plays my classes studied we read aloud.

Especially 10th grade. I volunteered to read the Chorus in Antigone because it had the most Greek names to say and everyone else in the class had difficulty pronouncing them, but eventually I got bored doing only monologues and switched to Tiresias.

My roommate and her prick boyfriend broke up today, so that's one less thing I have to deal with.

Looking for some stories?

Well, their thing obviously wasn't told by the stars.

My autumn break is over. Too bad I was too busy moving and doing other heavy chores to actually relax or rest. I need a vacation of my vacation.

I dislike how the Hastings application is written like a multiple choice test with "right" answers.

I've filled it out probably four times already and I've never gotten a good combination of answers for them to even call me back, but hopefully after having gotten this other job I might have a little more of a chance?

It's a good thing I'm obsessive or I'd be doomed to my routine.

You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stay
