"On peut être bougre et citoyen!"

Seven pamphlets fighting for the rights of "gays and lesbians" in... 1790-1791? Uh-huh. The French Revolution is *everything*.

Yes, that's what I'm doing instead of working on my last dissertation.

( OH. THE JOYS OF SLASH IN THE 18TH CENTURY. XD )

*grins* I'd heard bougre--clearly, no one thought it was important enough to mention bardache. >___<

...and can no one in this, my beloved century, write decent poetry? XD

*sporfle* It's rather amusing, actually; but yes, it's unfortunately worse than Maxime's, since, at least he knew he was writing crappy poetry.

My fourteen year-old self committed suicide with shame, actually.

...fortunately, or I'd have had to kill her myself. :D

estellacat December 1 2006, 03:21:12 UTC

That's fortunate; it would be bad if you killed your former self.....even if, technically, you did. Eek. Paradox.

YAY, PARADOXES. I love those little odd things. ^o^

*headdesk* (see icon)

...sorry. It's been a long time, you know. Must be all these hours I read about Saint-Just and typed about him (and only him). ;_;

estellacat December 1 2006, 04:20:39 UTC

...you might want to broaden your study just a bit, before you drive yourself crazy. Just an idea.

maelicia December 1 2006, 04:30:29 UTC

...that means I might have to take his pretty portrait away from next to my computer too, right?

estellacat December 1 2006, 04:59:36 UTC

That might help as well, yes.

maelicia December 1 2006, 05:21:39 UTC

But... he's so pretty with his eyes staring at me! And his cute little smile! And... and!... you know. *pouts*

estellacat December 1 2006, 05:29:19 UTC

Yes, but consider your sanity!

maelicia December 1 2006, 05:33:50 UTC

...but... SAINT-JUST! ;______________;

...why is he bad for my sanity already?

estellacat December 1 2006, 06:24:58 UTC

No reason except that studying him exclusively or obsessively, as is the case with anything, is not good.

maelicia December 1 2006, 15:26:43 UTC

...I could compensate with some Neoclassical Art reading? Or reading about the Jacobins during the post-Thermidor era? Are there studies about them anyway? I think I might have to specialise on this... no matter how depressing it is.

estellacat December 1 2006, 22:30:32 UTC

Yes, that might help. And I don't know whether there are studies specifically of post-Thermidor Jacobins, but I have an excellent book on the Thermidorian reaction in general.
