I feel like a creepy internet stalker person because I keep commenting on your entries, but I am procrastinating, OK? And that St. Theresa book reminded me of this hilarious (tho kinda sad) interview with Ginsberg that one of my lj friends posted a while back. Only tangentially related, but it is too funny/pathetic/awesome not to share.
I wish I could sing bad opera! I cannot sing any opera at all, or really anything. Instead I lip-sync & dance around wildly. It is not nearly as satisfying. :(
Terminal candor! Hahaha! That interview is unbelievable. I also have a book of St. John of the Cross' poetry somewhere. Maybe I have a date with Blake!
You're definitely not creepy. I am usually lax at replying to comments or commenting on others' journals, but I read everything that comes my way and I always like Ginsberg links or opera anecdotes.
Oh yay! I'm not creepy! Hahaha, I wish I could get that on a certificate or something...
OMG, I love Blake so much--or at least The Marriage of Heaven & Hell, which is his only major work that I'm deeply familiar with. I quote it to everyone I fuck.
What kind of opera do you like??? (I am so obsessed!)
I used to quote Margaret Atwood to people I had sex with. There are few ways to faster disconcert a teenage boy.
I am not a discerning opera listener, unfortunately; I did listen to a lot of Fleming and Callas for a while. I was trained as a classical soprano and had some brief illusions of operatic prowess (judiciously crushed). I'm a sucker for madrigals and English folk ballads.

My resolutions for the next year include drinking more and showering less. I intend to have a good one, and you better have a good year too.
