yet I'll hammer it out. no, really!

[themeletor]

total definite signs of madness:

1) thinking and/or actually talking in blank verse
1b) to yourself, while at work
2) repeatedly telling Richard II that he's stupid, then realizing that you can't actually write that in your paper
3) forgetting that when Bolingbroke whines, "Such is the breath of Kings," Richard does not reply, "Well, duh!"
4) mediating an argument in your head between James, Jack, and Charlie over who should write your paper
5) realizing that Charlie's actually already written part of it, and omgwtf that can't possibly be right
56) posting any/all the above to livejournal


urgh. *headdesk*

ETA: 7) forgetting how to count

You reading Richard II? Gah. Lucky. I'm sitting here trying to distinguish between proximate cause and sina que non. *needs an icon saying Unrepentant Shakespeare Whore*

Well, not OUT LOUD...

Welcome to our nightmare...

Heh. The phrase "DAMMIT BOLINGBROKE, STOP FUCKING UP MY ARGUMENT" appeared in my dissertation prospectus for a lot longer than it really ought to have. Fortunately it was purged before my scrutiny.

So, you know, I feel your pain. But Richard II is love anyway. ;)

*totally and utterly loves you*

Shakespeare's History Plays: it's the course you love to hate *gg*

yours, OTOH, sounds like one of the many reasons I would NEVER EVER GET THOUGH LAW SCHOOL EVER. good luck o_o

Well, not OUT LOUD...
it's beginning to get difficult to tell the difference. *wobble*

and. err. thank you?

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

hee! dude's always throwing a spanner in things, isn't he? good thing you got it out of there :p

Richard II is definitely love, of the very very messed-up and wordy variety.

also, hi! and your icon is just all kinds of awesome.

*is loved* :D <3

srsly, __dtrain and I had a whole discussion about whether James or Jack should take over for Charlie, who had fallen victim to the brain!melt (and I'm just, obviously, in no state to do any of the writing myself).

K, so I thought I would cheer you up with these ACTUAL headlines from 2005. Here it goes.

You forgot the 'girlfriend" after that and the stage directions: 'Filing his nails while watching QAF repeats on LOGO'. *G*

HEEE!! I totally laughed. well, almost laughed -- tried painfully hard not to laugh -- as I'm in the library right now. you definitely made me happy! ♥

you could have stubborn bitch face Don in your head. or NSA army charlie in your head.

OR BOTH. which is really for the suck.

Talky dysfunctional love! As the colorbar on my info page says. My dissertation is all about sixteenth-century poetic depictions of Richard II, so there is much with the crazy. It is actually re-evaluating the relationship of history, theater, and drama in the 1590s, but Richard II is my case study because a) the deposition remained a sensitive topic two hundred years after it happened (and more; Nahum Tate's cornball 1681 adaptation of the play got banned even though he whitewashed Shakespeare's Richard a WHOLE LOT and then changed all the names and retitled it The Sicilian Usurper, which really ought to be a deep dish pizza), and b) I am completely and utterly obsessed with Richard II. BA theses, it turns out, are perilous things. ;)

Hi to you too! Marna linked me to your posts every once in a while and I thought you seemed cool. And thanks. :)

English Majors bitch about Richard II.

History Majors (aka me) bitch about Nazis. o.O;

History majors apparently also have a lot of shit to read too. *glares at the half of a book she has to read for this week*

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

English majors bitch about EVERYTHING.

or, at least, I do :p
