Oh for heaven's sake...

I find it very difficult to suppress grunts of exasperation every time somebody mentions Machiavelli. Especially if they think they are being clever

The man was a very minor Florentine civil servant. He was a byword for petty, underhand machinations, if he had been anything more then he would have ( Read more... )

I did History and my secondary thesis essay thingie on Renaissance women and thats how I know about him. I GET ANGRY EVERY TIME I READ ABOUT HIM!

I dislike people that try to make being a nasty bully seem all clever and intellectual:(

I think thats why it makes me cross when I see people idolizing him.

I am not knowledgeable, only mildly obsessed! :D

I agree with Tania, it is so silly that effort is being put into sounding intelligent on an EGL comm, specially a wank comm.

Also also I enjoy your knowledge very much! ♥

this girl (margokennedy) used to be a very close friend of mine, and i got fed up with her because she is basically a sociopath. the last straw was when she posted in her journal about how she equates thinness to beauty and youth, at which point i IMed her, told her she was an idiot, and friend-dumped her.

she only went to college for a year and thinks because she references her education more often than other people do that she's actually smarter. she doesn't even wear lolita, she just bases her self-worth on asserting her superiority over a group of people whose average age is 15.

coincidentally her real name is lindsay. what is about lindsays!

That is interesting, I haven't actually seen a comment from her which wasn't dripping with misplaced sarcasm, She made some reply about talking only about Jpop on a post about meetup etiquette.

She def seems like she has some sort of personality malfunction. She seems to harbour this delusion that the entire population of EGL are morons who she towers over intellectually!

Ah yes. Thin does equate youth and beauty. After all, it's working so well for Donatella Versace and Karl Largerfield! About 50kg between them and they still have to pay to get laid!
