You're Love in the Time of Cholera!
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Like Odysseus in a work of Homer, you demonstrate undying loyalty by
sleeping with as many people as you possibly can. But in your heart you never give
consent! This creates a strange quandary of what love really means to you. On the
one hand, you've loved the same person your whole life, but on the other, your actions
barely speak to this fact. Whatever you do, stick to bottled water. The other stuff
could get you killed.

You're Infinite Jest!
by David Foster Wallace
While you1 consider yourself2 to be clever,
there are those3 who think you're just full of yourself or, perhaps worse,
playing a joke4 on everyone around you, and yet you are pretty sure that
you really are that brilliant after all, since people would hardly take the time to
get to know you5 if they didn't care very deeply about what you had to
say to them, to wit, about their lives, their hopes, their dreams, their fears, their
drug habits, and of course what videos6 they prefer to watch, since,
after all, your impressive vocabulary and tendency to go on and on7 makes
you seem superior, able to educate them, and really drive a sense of something
ineffable into their measly little skulls while you are not above making a cheap
gag or really going after anyone or anything or telling them about incredible
futures involving tennis, geopolitics, and
1Meaning you personally, not someone like you or your own
personal daddy, for example.
2As well as you can see yourself, which, frankly, may not be that well.
3Though we wouldn't deign to be so peripatetic as to name them here, mind.
4Jokes, though not common in Victorian England, were known to originate
sometime in ancient history, perhaps as early as the time of Babylon, or even before.
It is thought that the history of the joke plays an integral role in the mindset of
the characters depicted here, though you may disagree at this point, in which case I
am facing quite the dilemma in relaying this narrative, no?
5It is rather time consuming, after all.
6Ha!
7and on and on and on...

You're The Metamorphosis!
by Franz Kafka
Though you think you're in the midst of a dream, the fact of the
matter is that your life has become a nightmare. The nightmare at first seems
horrific to you, but you are slowly able to adjust to the facts of the matter
and settle down and make do with what you've been given. There are those that
would say you're pointless and absurd, but you're really just trying to
demonstrate that people can (and do) adapt to anything, no matter how absurd
it is. Not that this will really inspire them to change, because they probably
don't understand.

I employ the deftness of crayons when applying my growing foundations of astronomy...
Though it might seem that I am conflating the boto idea with amphitrite, of late, I was simply testing two ideas, for later. I am too caffeinated to reify both of these into the pantoums they are demanding to be.
Good place to start.

I was in Ram's Head two days ago, where I overheard a conversation between the student-employees of the Hollins MFA program. This bookstore, I have noted, is really their extension office.
A guy was mentioning that Richard Dillard (ex-husband of Annie and current beau of Kathy Hankla)formed a critique of some girl's poem that went something like this, "this is like riding with an inexperienced driver, the jerking without the swerve and suasion, and you end the car ride with the urge to vomit." The guys were laughing until I showed up with my purchase.
I entirely agree with being held to the task of killing's one's beauties, trimming out the predigested parts...no matter who phrases it since he or she is published, and you, are not. There is something arrogant, while being pathetic, about avoiding criticism. This is why I will never be serious about writing until I make myself receptive to the opinions that count.
Don't take this as a jab--you're opinion matters to me, but this medium sometimes for better and for worse, reminds me of a teen girl's wide-ruled journal emblazoned with stickers. Yes, I had one, had three.
These pictures are horrible.

I have had three experiences where quantitative evaluations have been changed for the better and the worst:
Freshman Expository English B to an A...and the eventual change of major. The professor (for which I took 3/4ths of my classes) gave me this advice: every writer is a whore, you should come to the MLA conference with me, and you'll see.
Introduction to Philosophy A- to a B three weeks after the final exam.
Survey of American History B to an A-.
Perhaps there isn't a place for this at the tag end of a comment about reading and writing other than the general feelings you can probably imagine.

I can continue. That is all I can do, DNA methylation aside.

If I ever get out of this mire, and the feelings of inferiority associated with being here, I will never hesitate to encourage others.
I struggle with networking, and I see observe too much of the pantomime of achievement than I should, which makes me cynical and unmotivated.
