Yeah, I know I haven't updated my LJ all semester. It's been crazy busy and organizing my thoughts on things has been the least of my worries. Mostly thinking my thoughts on things has been in the foreground.

I performed an opera, wrote half of an English thesis - on Buffy - took some of the most amazing classes I've taken at this school so far ( Read more... )

So, for my 21st birthday, beautiful_rain_ and of_polyhymnia made me a massive scavenger hunt across Grounds, which was absolutely brilliant, frequently very difficult, and a lot of (semi-exhausting) fun. Also there were pretty Buffy-related graphics. And it opened with the clue "we're going back to the beginning," which was pretty much squee-worthy and involved searching ( Read more... )

Whee! Sorry for the earlier Eliot spam...I was in the library and needed a convenient space to store my research- plus it was creepy enough that I figured it was worth sharing. According to the intoduction of our anthology, "Eliot grew up deeply in conflict with himself: repelled by his own fascination with sexual cruelty and his Brahmin sense of ( Read more... )
