Oh my god THANK YOU for your comment about Lolita. I didn't want to jack the thread to say so, but it burns my useless-lit-degree-earning ass when people essentially dismiss the novel as being "about" pedophilia rather than the construction of an artificial object of desire, of art, of the novel itself. I'm rambling like a pretentious ass now, but thank you!

Your comment re: the Oppression Olympics rocked! Thanks.

Who knows? It's okay; I don't go in for flashy stuff like that, anyway.

Amen to your response to Xacov, well said!

Hey there! Yes, I live in Washington. What part of the state are you thinking of moving to? Definitely let me know when you know for sure!

Ha ha, this is like from 98 years ago! But thank you for writing; I have no memory of even writing this.

Hi Jen--re: thinking you're not a feminist if you vote for Obama. NO ONE here thinks that, zero. The Hillary supporters--I am among them--have a hard time with yes, what we perceive as naivete, but not because we think anyone is dumb or uneducated. Wrong, maybe, and definitely misinformed sometimes. But the bottom line is everyone for Hills will get right behind Obama if it goes that way; we expect the same Dem support from you too.
