More things for me to spend time on the internet with

So yes I have been procrastinating A LOT lately. But I did get a bunch of work donethis afternoon.

But I found something that is rather educational for me to spend time on. Shakespeare!

Yeah, Wikisource has all of the plays and I feel the need to read them all. 
So I started reading All's Well that Ends Well. And it has a great line early on in the first scene."

HELENA.
Ay. You have some stain of soldier in you: let me ask you a question. 
Man is enemy to virginity; how may we barricado it against him? 
PAROLLES.
Keep him out. 
HELENA.
But he assails; and our virginity, though valiant in the 
defence, yet is weak: unfold to us some warlike resistance. 
PAROLLES.
There is none: man, setting down before you, will undermine you 
and blow you up. 
HELENA.
Bless our poor virginity from underminers and blowers-up!-Is 
there no military policy how virgins might blow up men?

Once again I heart Shakespeare. He makes me happy. 
Really happy.

drama dork, shakespeare
