    :S All your deep discussions on postmodernism and literature in general have made me feel so inadequate. I'm going to go do some Art logbook bullshitting. Where I belong- ha!

    HAHAHAHAH. Would've loved to see that. I had a flick through. I dunno, I've never really study speeches and they aren't my 'thing', but the language was outstanding, regardless of any of my personal preferences. Great work :)

    Have to agree, it was great ekoolish! I'm literally using it for study notes - we're studying Possession by AS Byatt for Romanticism (kill. me.)

    So, I promised feedback and here it is (at 2am in the morning, too! feel loved!!) First of all, I think your word choice/language is phenomenal. There were a few images I read, where I went 'Damn, if only I could've put those words together..!' ('formless smother of midnight' for...
