The return of marginalia! Or, why AR should not be allowed to draw pretty much evar. ^^;;;
My prof in American Writers today mentioned how, in Nam Le's The Boat, he saw a pattern of feelings--or rather, the lack thereof. The characters in the stories we've read have been in situations where allowing themselves to feel anything more than the very surfaces of emotions would just destroy them. They have to live on the surface, or they won't be able to live at all.
And that made me think of the quote scrawled across the top of this, and that got me a-doodling, because my attention span was low due to huuuuunger, and there I was by the end of class, hoping no one was seeing how ridiculously low-quality my geeky creation was. XD
I left part of my notes because I'm just that enamoured of my own handwriting. I'm so self-interested. >>
( the dangerous business of feeling )
...Fuck, I miss pretending to be Evey. ^^;; The fact that she did allow herself to feel again, despite the dangers--God, how amazing is that? Really fucking amazing. I still think it's beautiful.
