Revision technique
I may just have to steal potatofiend's amazing Victorian revision skills. Here's my revised version:
1. RELIGION
- Fallen women are bad, BAD I tell ye
- God makes Hardy depressed
- God also makes Arnold depressed
- God makes Hopkins more depressed
- Things such as thrushes, beaches and sonnets get dark when God makes people depressed
2. HOMOSEXUALITY (or reason why God made Victorians depressed)
- They were ALL gay (end of)
3. DICKENS
- As taken from an essay I wrote in Michaelmas: 'Dickens does not support Mrs Jellyby's missionary position' (this is presumably because he was too busy gazing longingly at Steerforth in a novel cross-over moment)
In modern literature I fully intend to include Sassoon's classic 'oh Rivers please take me' line in any essay that I come to write, in Anglo-Saxon I'm going to pray (hard) and I'm just going to have to rip my Introduction to Literary Studies paper up before I open it to save myself from having an annoyance related heart attack...
In other news:
1) it is hailing and yet the sun is out (damned paradoxical weather)
2) I'm freezing
3) I'm hungry
4) I have been abandoned
5) I can't stop looking at Rivers's hands in the only picture of him where they're not covered (he exposed his feet more than his hands though both are, of course, gorgeous). However, he appears to be missing the tip of a finger...
6) I have baby pacifying down to a fine art. My brother and sister in law have employed me cos I'm the only person who can stop William from crying
