Literature
I was feeling pessimistic today, so I went to Google and typed something along the lines of, "Give me something redemptive, something full of love and humanity, a trumpet call for man's greatest commonalities to speak above the damned silence of politic and apathy" and pressed "I'm feeling lucky."
It took me to the middle of The English Governess ( Read more... ) -
Greek Mythology
I wrote an epic poem/song retelling the myth of Artemis and Orion, perhaps y'all will dig.

I met a guy this weekend who is exponentially more obsessive about narrative, honesty, tragedy, and introspection than I could ever hope to be. I've never met a person so talkative and withdrawn at the same time. We talked until 6 in the morning about fiction, girls, art, physics, philosophy, and all the rest.

I'm not the type who pushes the limit, and I do have some priorities, but a ( Read more... )
