1) 2 Weeks and 3 Days Until my GRE Subject Test for Literature in English. I am in no way prepared. Please ask me more questions.
2) I am not stalking Alan Rickman and Eliza Dushku; because, hey I really don't need to make an ass of myself in front of famous people I am actually impressed by. Also: work.
3) My sister has named her new kitten Mr. Ernest Worthing... no one said we weren't a nerdy family (Just be glad that that we didn't go with Ziggy Stardust or Buddy Holly or Biggie Smalls or any of the other ideas that were popular).
4) This weekend my cousin Rachel got married. My cousin Matt was a bridesmaid... he also caught the bouquet.
5)I have pretty pretty nails (pink and whites and shiny light pink on the toes with white flowers and purple rhinestones). They make me feel... classy.
6) Possibly I never mentioned how pretty my undergraduate school is.

That's a fairly accurate representation of the school's buildings and grounds... not just the one perfect view or something.

Date: 2007-09-19 06:00 pm (UTC)I probably should have mentioned that preferably it would be English/American writers... I thought I did in fact but clearly my phrasing was bad as I got requests for Camus and Dostoevsky.

Date: 2007-09-19 03:33 pm (UTC)Virginia Woolf was an English modernist writer. Her writing is mostly composed in the stream of consciousness style where plot is subservient to the characters observations and thoughts of the moment. Frankly her prose makes my eyes blur because it all seems to run together. In addition to novels like To the Lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway, Woolf wrote A Room of One's Own talking about the creative impulse of women and the way that they have been stifled throughout history. She argues that to be truly creative and live up to one's potential a women essentially needs financial independence.
Woolf herself was extremely emotionally unstable and her life is known for being somewhat scandalous.
