To this day, the smell and taste of blackberry tea and the sound of classical music makes me think of her crowded studio of books, easels, masks, puppets, clay...and shelves upon shelves of paints and charcoal and paper.
She was one of the first people to recognize that I could tell a story, and that I had equal affinity for words as I did for pictures. And she was one of the very few people that always told me that what I had to say had value, and that it was worth saying. #teachers

In was in her class that I had a huge life-changing realization, while we were discussing "The Awakening." I was 21 and it was the first time I realized that I had spent my entire life trying to be "normal" instead of just accepting myself.
Anyhow, I am forwarding this to every woman I know. #teachers

I am geeking out right now...that's incredible. The Madwoman in the Attic was such an eye-opening piece of criticism for me.
What was she like, as a teacher? #teachers

And some nights she would pick up students from jail, because their parents didn't speak French, or were in jail too. They would call her.
And sometimes she smiles so broadly, and she tells me that something happened in class that day. Maybe someone asked a question that showed that he/she was interested. Or she felt a connection.
Teaching is the most difficult job in the world. My mother always told me it was the most rewarding. #teachers

There is nothing more that I needed today. Seriously. My eyes are burning. I learned so much about myself by reading Woolf. I didn't think I could be moved by anything more than hearing Plath reading "Daddy." It's amazing how a voice you've never heard can seem as familiar as your mother's. And I've never heard anyone speak so beautifully about words and language.

@futuremouse: Have you ever seen the movie Rebecca? Because I'm starting to wonder if Virginia Woolf secretly played Mrs. Danvers, or did the voice from behind a curtain. It's eerie.

What I mean is that I am uber-excited for crazypants Mugler and crazypants Sasha Fierce to collaborate.

They are to be resurrected when they can be used correctly and not 85 times a day.
More on this as it develops.

"Dontcha wish your girlfriend were hot like me?"
-No, my scantily clad friends. If my boyfriend wanted someone hot like you, he'd only date strippers.

Not my favorite song either.
