Another compliment

[rfmcdonald]

I was in the English Lounge today, talking with ebeloic and some other people about things; the RPG project that me, ebeloic, and taem, among others will be participating in; the gruesome and rather pointless and boring violence of Thomas Harris' Hannibal (a bad childhood explains all) and de Sade's 120 Days in Sodom (why not just 40?); and the failure of the work we were doing to seem like it was enough, or that it was moderate, or that it accomplished anything. Here, I referred to a poem--one love poem by Samuel Beckett (yes, they do exist, and they are somewhat disturbing), and then to T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland.

It's at this point that someone said I looked to be the prototypical English student, with my quotations from poems (that and Bertolt Brecht's "The Whiskey Song"), by turtleneck sweater, my glasses, my short hair, and so on.

Thanks.
