I came here from lordhellebore's journal (curiosity, as so often, made me do it) and I find this: Gormenghast, Steerpike (!), and then my favourite Muse record as your current listening.

You aren't the only one ever to pop by due to her mentioning me so often ;) It never ceases to amaze me.

Gods, this entry really is old. I had full forgotten about it. And I have to admit, I haven't read the Gormenghast trilogy yet, although I still want to. We had to write a story in class after seeing parts of the film.

Seeing as you are a great Alice in Wonderland fan and seem to have a thing for the white rabbit, I'm all for getting to know you better :)

Heheh yeah, that's the weird ways of the internet ;)

Sounds like a cool class, are you studying literature or something the like?

And Alice seems to be one cornerstone of my life, really, and the white rabbit has so much potential :) I look forward to "meeting" you! \0/

I studied literature, yes. Unfortunately, we did far too little creative writing stuff.

Alice, and especially the rabbit, somehow always had a great attraction for me. I actually wanted to get a white rabbit tattoo, but then I watched Matrix...
