<p>I’m assuming whoever said that was feeling a bit down that day :slight_smile: sorry-- wanted to respond haha</p>

<p>metonymy-- when I finish reading the book i will hopefully have a far greater understanding of oscar wilde than my reading of only 52 pages allows-- when I get to that point you WILL IM me and discuss this with me-- and it’s not nerdy-- it’s cool :)</p>

<p>is it strange that i constantly wear a ponytail holder around my wrist all the time even though I only put my hair up at night so it’s out of my face?</p>

3562

<p>ah! serious edit: white milk. only use it to cover my cereal anyway, and the chocolate would be strange looking even though I don’t taste the milk much anyway.</p>

<p>refer to my previous post</p>

3563

<p>hmmm…it’s sorta strange that you don’t wear your hair tie, but i could see why you do it ;D</p>

<p>Do you dislike certain people because they negatively resemble too much of yourself?</p>

3564

<p>Yes, junior, yes I absolutely do.</p>

<p>Horrible flaw of mine, I’m afraid.</p>

<p>Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Ever read his stuff? What’s your favorite book of his?</p>

3565

<p>Yep, I’ve only read crime and punishment though so that’s my favorite. </p>

<p>Did you ever realize how great life can be if you don’t think about school/grades/work?</p>

3566

<p>Sartre said “L’enfer, c’est les autres,” metonymy. One of my favorite quotations.</p>

<p>Ever read any Sartre?</p>

3567

<p>Ahhh the Existentalist? No, just quotes :(</p>

<p>Camus?</p>

3568

<p>Mais oui :)</p>

<p>Ever read anything by Haruki Murakami?</p>

3569

<p>YES!!! Love the man! I’m so excited that somebody else has actually heard of Haruki-San! Man, I knew the Chicago boards were the place to be!</p>

<p>Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is my favorite book of his, but I also REALLY enjoyed Kafka on the Shore!</p>

<p>Where I live nobody has ever heard of him and they’re not interested in reading him. IMO he’s the best, or one of the very best living writers.</p>

<p>Name another “obscure” author that you think we haven’t heard of, that you consider really good :)</p>

3570

<p>i love daviid sedaris…yay for outlandish humor.</p>

<p>what are your favorite moviessssss?</p>

3571

<p>Dave Eggers isn’t particularly unconventional, but since most people have only heard of/read AHWOSG I guess you could say he’s one of my favorite “obscure” living authors (again, obscure in the sense that his other books are not as over-hyped). If you get the chance, read How We Are Hungry. It is absolutely amazing.</p>

<p>Also, Harold Bloom is the grand daddy of everything great in modern literary criticism. He’s not particularly obscure, either, but I don’t know very many people who have read his books.</p>

<p>savenola22, I’m glad you recognize the Hell quote :slight_smile: It’s one of my favorites, too.</p>

<p>What ism do you identify yourself with?</p>

<p>EDIT
I love David Sedaris!</p>

<p>favorite movie = Amelie</p>

<p>same question</p>

3572

<p>I don’t really enjoy movies that much</p>

<p>Do you like musical theater?</p>

3573

<p>as in musicals? i liked avenueq. however film-wise, musicals are terrrrrible (aka dreamgirls)</p>

<p>any pie lovers out there?</p>

3574

<p>pie is infinitely better than cake ;p</p>

<p>given the choice of either running 3 miles or walking 6, which do you take? All at the same time, no break.</p>

3575

<p>Running 3</p>

<p>Given the choice of running 3 miles on a nature trail or drinking hot chocolate with a good book…would you choose the run like I would?</p>

3576

<p>i would go for the hot chocolate. </p>

<p>science/math or english/history?</p>

3577

<p>I run 3 miles everyday to work out, so I’d take the change of scenery and run. </p>

<p>The book and hot chocolate is meh. I’d prefer just the book. And that’s another thing I do everyday. </p>

<p>EDIT: sorry.</p>

<p>I would’ve said english/history earlier on in high school, but as I’ve gone on… Science and math are something I enjoy more because they’re changing at a faster pace than e/h.</p>

<p>Hard choice though. Very hard.</p>

<p>Have you seen 300 yet?</p>

3578

<p>yesh. better than sin city, but not by much.</p>

<p>facebook anyone?</p>

3579

<p>I guess.</p>

<p>Do you use AIM Triton?</p>

3580

<p>Nah, I use Adium on mac </p>

<p>As a guy it’s kind of weird to ask this question, but hey, I’m bored and I can’t think of a better question…</p>

<p>What’s your least favorite uber-expensive european purse making company?</p>

<p>(Ex. Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Dolce Gabanna…) </p>

<p>I find them all pretty laughable, but I always love hearing girls talking about this and giving the reasons why they don’t like such and such company.</p>
