I have apparently TOTALLY gotten over the book reading issue from my previous post (IN ABOUT TWO HOURS WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT), and have been reading Vive La Revolution ALL DAY. Omg it's so fucking good. I REALIZE A LOT OF YOU ALL HAVE READ IT ALREADY in which case you can totally ignore this entire post I guess except the part where I talk to

I haven't read it yet, but I will put it on the list of ... things to buy when I am done living frugally. You know.

('Not now, Robespierre' = the new 'not tonight, Josephine'.)

'katzensnoren' might be Dutch? Never confuse 'schnurren' with 'schnorren', which is 'to bum' as in 'to bum a fag off s.o.'.

(Okay, I Googled 'katzensnoren' and it gave me German pages for 'Katzensenioren'. Like ... aged cats.)

[hammster]

I'll lend my copy to you if you want!

(fhgkjdfsfd yes!!! It's the new EVERYTHING for me tbh I am going to be using it at every available opportunity.)

(...Katzensenioren. OMG, I love your language.)

[lucieandco]

Good plan!

(As you should!) (Ideally in reaction to someone saying 'of my virtue I am justly proud'.)

(There is a word for everything in German simply because you can stick all words together in German. And once there is one word there are three others that sound like it. Cf. knuddelig and knuffelig.)

(Oh, now I wish I had thought to say it when my mother asked me to walk the dog earlier. Oh well.)

(YES I KNOW this property is something that I find pretty much endlessly amusing!!! I kind of wish we had it in English but I guess then it wouldn't be as funny to me.)

[lucieandco]

Also 'SPLENDIDLY TITLED'. I agree.

[hammster]

YES

WE SHOULD USE IT OR SOMETHING LIKE IT FOR OUR GARMENT EMPORIUM BACKROOM PERHAPS

can you guess what I'm about to ask you to get on

it's not a pony

[lucieandco]

YES. I AGREE. YES.

I have a notion, a foggy notion, a-- basically I am trying to decide whether to stay at this computer since my parents are drunk and falling asleep anyway or change over to the portable so I can be beige and lie in bed and all that.

[hammster]

SPLENDID. SPLENDID.

Oh that's an important decision to make. I would recommend the later since lying in bed seems more pleasant than sitting up at a desktop but then I might be underestimating the pain that being beige causes you.

[lucieandco]

Also I am trying to recall which book it was that made a big fucking point out of the fact that Lafayette basically spent most of his time during [era] [what era was it?!] growing vegetables and commenting exclusively on vegetables not politics. Damn, I have a feeling it might have been "Désirée" (i.e. not scientific).

[sophiedegrouchy]

Man, I've been aware of the existence and tone of VLR for a while now, but I think I'll have to find it now because ROBESPIERRE and LAFAYETTE and COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH SKELETONS.

Maybe Rousseau should've just blinded himself forever and ever. That'd be nice. :|

Except for the fact that it'd just make him more angsty and paranoid. Damn.

And I feel like Marat would only ruffle my hair in the process of raising my decapitated skull before a crowd. So.

[hammster]

YES YOU MUST. It's highly entertaining!

Yeah but now I am imagining him with a seeing eye dog and that's kind of a charming mental image

...ONLY IF YOU WERE INSUFFICIENTLY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE REVOLUTION !
