this post is a typical example of 'once you get her started about law, she won't stop.'

As I wade through forests of paperwork for this new case, I can't help but think about words, and the meanings thereof. It's quite amazing how you can see one letter, and the world will take three different views of it (yours, mine, and the judge's

XDDD For one of my papers, the theme is identity. So that's what we have to relate everything to. Sex and/or drugs sounds like a nice change.

Am not going to be one of you strange nocturnal people today, but do go over and laugh at me for the lameness of Bright Lights. :D

Also: your figures, they are familiar. 6927, whut. XD

what are these LIES about lameness you're telling me

[aefallen]

I keep getting invoices, reference numbers, and sums of money that are all variations of 80(95/59). IT IS NOT FUNNY AND I AM NOT AMUSED.

*SOBBING HYSTERICALLY*

You give me Literature flashbacks. ;) Identity was this. REALLY REALLY HUGE THING. FOR ME, TOO. IT'S SO FUNNY. ♥ I almost - almost miss it.

WAIT WAIT WAIT YOU HAVE NEW FIC FOR ME TO EMIT HEARTS OVER, what are THESE LIES ABOUT LAMENESS. ♥

I will write bad and defamatory Xanxus fic one day, in which he raises baby!Tsuna. And baby!Tsuna grabs his awful feather-fluff-hair-accessory and loves it and won't let go, and Xanxus has to coax him to sleep and ALL KINDS OF HORRIBLE STUFF, all while snarling viciously away.

I read this movie review about Hancock today which quoted this one line from the film, and I thought it fit Xanxus so well. The line was, "My basic diagnosis of your fundamental problem is... you're an @$$[expletive deleted for the sake of the children

ASFLAKSDLJACMSD I COME BACK FROM LITERATURE CLASS TO SEE THIS OTL.

WELCOME HOME!!! ;D

[aefallen]

HAHAHAHA. HIDING!SHOU-CHAN ICON.

and WELCOME HOME TO THE INTERNET, WHERE YOU CAN NEVER ESCAPE WHAT YOU DO AT WORK. OR SCHOOL. :D

I GIGGLE SO MUCH AT THAT SHOU-CHAN ICON, because he reminds me of a small kitten peering out over the edge of its basket. AWWW, SO CUTE, SHOU-CHAN. COME OVER HERE AND LET ME WRITE BAD FANFICTION ABOUT YOU. ♥

YES I AM BACK 8D

[a_songfor_xx]

YES! Because my expression is all ... right now AND GAMMA HAS NO EXPRESSIONS EXCEPT FOR >\ >) and >(

:D I know! He's probably the only other one aside from Spanner (Because Byakuran is all >8D and Gamma is all >\) who HAS ACTUAL FACIAL EXPRESSION.

I WANT TO WRITE GAMMA/UNI. BUT IT WOULD BE. SO. I don't know.

DON'T TELL ME YOUR SCHOOL ENDS SO LATE? D8

[aefallen]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - SORRY, SORRY, LAUGHING TOO MUCH. XDDDDDD

No, Gamma had facial expressions! Sometimes they were also D< and D| - BUT YES, I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT OF VIEW.

BYAKURAN IS EVEN MORE OF A PERVERT THAN SPANNER IS, AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING.

GAMMA/UNI WOULD BE AWESOME, WRITE IT! ♥ BETTER YET. GAMMA/UNI'S MOM. ♥

This is tl;dr - just read the first line, LOL

Hello! You are being obviously obvious with your figures today XD

Augh practical criticism made me want to screw off the top of my head and prod it - I really wonder why I chose to do English Literature as a minor in Uni (orz, no, not her). But now that I'm past all of that, I will proceed to ramble about how Hopkins is reminiscent of Wordsworth and Lord Byron, with phonetical alliteration that evokes the images he portrays and the playfulness of Cummings (XD, bad thought!) serves to hide the painful reality of the common 'anyone' that peeps out from behind its child-like rhyme like a lonely orphan looking around the corner at children playing at a playground and I suppose being a lawyer would you'd love Law Like Love that way XD but I'd say the comparison of law and love, both man-made things, is apt; in fact, everything leads to how Auden wishes to expressdescribe Love - how it is treated by all and sundry in varyingly different ways though of course you'd probably object to that, but ANYWAY

but I always "DR" XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[aefallen]

I WAS BEING MORE THAN OBVIOUS, I WAS BEING PRECISE. The average of (the average IS STILL AVERAGE) 8059 and 5927 really is close to 6927. I CHECKED WITH A CALCULATOR. THEY DO NOT LIE.

I am the most horrible vengeful creature when it comes to 8059, and my logic with it mutates into this awful moster than boils down to, "I DON'T CARE WHAT WINS AS LONG AS IT ISN'T THAT."

I OBJECT TO EVERYTHING, I DOUBT ITS SOURCE. *LOOKS AT YOU* ~

I really wonder why I chose to do English Literature as a minor
I suspect the Usual Reason (and Famous Last Words), "It seemed like a good idea at the time."

I like (your?) the Law Like Love analysis the best, by the way. The e.e. cummings analysis was so sad.

Augh. Tis the bane of Literature students, it is - never to see the world like one of the common folk ever again. Or the bane of anybody who specialises in anything, for that matter. XD I don't know: wasn't that always the beautiful thing about it? Or so I think. That your world will always be different to you, because of that? It's a whole

XD <3 (Yes, Yamammochan reads - this one does, at least)

[mangy_mongrel]

orz I checked too XDDD

*hides 8059 ficcage from aefallen* You wouldn't object to them both being in the fic at the same time provided they're not together, would you though?

I OBJECT TO EVERYTHING, I DOUBT ITS SOURCE.
Uhm, actually I kinda did those analyses off the top of my head. No references, unfortunately XD So, yes, that analysis of Law Like Love is purely mine - or as purely mine as it can get, seeing how ideas are used and reused every second.

The e.e. cummings analysis was so sad.
Aw... *hugs*

I suspect the Usual Reason (and Famous Last Words), "It seemed like a good idea at the time."
It... did. XDDDD

It's a whole new way to see the world.
I suppose I'll get used to that eventually - I mean, I love being able to see things differently and sometimes even boast about it, (orz/XD) but it's a little lonely when other people don't understand...

My stance on poetry is like this:

I like reading it.

I abhor analysing it.

icon keywords - 'yamamoto reads?'

[aefallen]

You're very much like my brother, then. He was of the same mindset.

He also happened to think that analysing it took some of the magic and beauty away from the work-as-it-was. Not sure if you share similar thoughts, but I wouldn't be surprised if you did.

My stance on poetry was: I love reading it, and I love analysing it (if only to see just how far you can go with something you yourself might not believe in, but as long as you can get your reader, or your marker, to believe it: that was the challenge of literary criticism, for me) - and analysing it makes me love it even more.

Re: icon keywords - 'yamamoto reads?'

[nemesis]

Ahaha, yes. Reading it, there's this sort of this wonder at the wordplay and all the unconscious little tricks and turns of phrases; it's a bit less magical when you know the meaning behind all of it (here's some alliteration, there's some analogies-), like knowing how a magician performs a trick. It's still a dramatic spectacle, but it's just not as cool.

I do enjoy analyzing things, finding out how they work, but that's what I do for history. For literature, I prefer to appreciate, ahaha.

By the way, you got the Spanner meme thing?

[aefallen]

I don't know: I kind of always had a slightly different perspective on it, in the sense of when you analysed a work, you were able to see ah, this is how it all fits together, this is what makes it work that way, this is how he gets that effect, and isn't it all wonderfully clever (when it was wonderfully clever instead of being immensely irritating, that is).

AND I GOT IT! ♥ GONNA EMIT HEARTS AT IT and link it if and when you put it on your fic journal. I like your why-he-didn't-fall-in-love-with-Tsunayoshi reason the best out of all the answers to this meme I've read so far.

Dude, I got John Donne for A Level lit. JOHN DONNE. And coming from the girls' Feminazi school (if you get what I mean), I found it incredibly offensive. Then after A Level I found his poems incredibly clever, but still misogynistic.

I am still doing the Literature thing. WHY DID I DECIDE TO DO AN MA?!
