Evil RPG Prince: "Princess, are you normal?"
Alien meddler Ouji masquerading as RPG princess: "No, I'm slightly abnormal."
Evil RPG Prince: *goes to read a book on 100 methods of bondage*
Oh. My. God. Togashi Yoshihiro is a fucking genius. *squee* Level E rocks so hard. The second volume isn't anywhere as amusing as the first, but this Evil RPG Prince robot trying to learn about sex is just too damn funny. *cackles* Everyone needs to read this. It's...odd.
A girl sent out her outline over the listserve for the Romanticism paper. Well, it's got some interesting ideas, but she wants to take it and make it into a statement about gender and sexuality in modern entertainment. Um. Yeah, not doing that, but I'll bet the teacher loves it. *sigh* Yesterday after class, which ran 7 minutes over as is usual, I complained to a fellow classmate as we waited for the elevator about Ms. Sara's incessant chatter and how she goes on and on and on.
Her response made me stop dead. "Really? Well, I guess she does tend to run over, but she's just so brilliant that I don't mind."
Really? Brilliant? This same woman who jumped on the idea that Kubla Khan was really about the rise of the bourgeois and not really a drugged-out trip? Are we even in the same class? Upon hearing my doubts that maybe I'd misjudged this woman horribly, terremotia pointed out that quite a few people tend to mistake pretentiousness for intelligence.
Is this why everyone else in the class puts up with the absolute disrespect the woman has for our time? Because they think she's brilliant? A woman who starts a new topic when the class period has ended and spends five minutes rambling about how we'll discuss it next time?
I don't get it. I really don't.
And now, back to reading so I can write my damned paper. Bah.
