    dang it

    I just wrote a long letter that I lost. Crap!

    Well to sum up...

    A.) I've nearly got at M.A. in English/Literature and I plan to become an English teacher. Reading is my passion. I can't stand it when people turn it into a petty game of name-dropping, a 'look I'm better than you because I've read so and so'! nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!!!

    B.) To that dude who's always on here bashing comic books: War and Peace is an easy read (except for those pages and pages of philosophical gibberish.) It reads like a Russian soap opera. If you really wanted to sound superior to everyone else you should have mentioned James Joyce or Virginia Woolf. The modernists really did write some tricky shit!

    And yes, my psuedonym is a reference to Neil Gaiman, who is one of my idols.
