Oh apparently I am feeling whiny and verbose today so here's another thing ( Read more... )

navel-inspection with electron microscop, yes we have no social skills, oh help my mouth won't stop talking, people are in fact people, excuses excuses, don't let her have the loudhailer, writers are the opposite of people, give me the world i'll fix it, women, persistent attention-whoring, world's most boring shop dummy, this is why no one likes me, utterly no idea what i'm doing, muslim women, this fucking book is going to kill me, unwinnable arguments, unpopular opinions, you only wish i was joking, tell me it's not just me, you people are broken not me, very literal thoughts on yaoi, why the fuck am i doing this, touch me and i'll tear your face off, films, feminism, go to the back of the class

All Satrapi's comics are amazing! Particularly when her grandmother is involved.

i love persepolis the graphic novel but never saw the movie and am thus REALLY PLEASED that the second sounds fairly faithful to the first. (i liked that marji could be kind of an ass, and that she did stupid things and fucked up at the same time she was kind of brave and really smart. she was a real person, not a lesson to learn or a bad example to not follow or a cliched representation of all iranian girls/women everywhere.)

Yes this EXACTLY - a human being with a personality and opinions and the ability to change her mind and to be both cruel and kind.

It is indeed at the LSBU and thanks for the headsup, I've been given no map and don't have a clue how to get there!

Ah, I went and looked it up after you said. It seems the place I'm going to is on London Road and ridiculously easy to get to, so there's that in its favour - also I'm pretty familiar with the area as cellardoor28 used to live there and I basically camped out in her living room.

You can tell me about history if you like. I like history.
