Gah! I am loving college muchly. I've even been regularly updating 
c_dub_yah because I was coerced into getting a facebook and want people to have some idea about who the hell I am (You have to have one to see it, but if you do, add me!). So yes. BUT THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT ALL THIS IS THAT:
It's my birthday Saturday and I am going to celebrate it by watching gay movies and going to dinner with a guy I've been talking to on facebook! Am v. excited. He has Latter Days! I have never seen this for some incomprehensible reason. I actually first messaged him because we are the only ones at UC Davis to have Sommersturm listed as a favorite movie :D (thank you
lazy_daze)!
Am I to assume that everyone here has read at least some Brendan Kennelly? Because if you haven't, you need to. Right now:
"What do I see? The stars are hammers
in the hands of an enraged thing.
Hunger endures. So do full bellies
and hearts that sing."
and
"...He writes, writes, seeking the elusive buzz
that wasps and butterflies his marrowbone,
gentle, ferocious waves and surges
uttering his dreams, piled prehistoric urges..."
-excerpts from his book, Poetry My Arse (I am so very in love with this guy)
Also, so I don't feel completely useless, you know how you occasionally stumble across people who put all their recs into their memories? Well, here is
npetrenko's very extensive list.
