<p>true story: I was reading Young Goodman Brown and thought to myself, “self, don’t you think Nathaniel Hawthorne is a rather attractive name and thus would make Nathaniel Hawthorne himself rather attractive?”</p>
<p>so then, out of curiosity, and because I have no shame, I looked Nathaniel Hawthorne up on Wikipedia for the sole purpose of finding out what he looked like, and I got this: <a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nathaniel_Hawthorne_old.jpg[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nathaniel_Hawthorne_old.jpg</a></p>

<p>I thought about somehow writing this into the “pre-tea party” part of the essay, but i didn’t end up doing the mad-hatter prompt, so…oh well :)</p>
