Apparently I can register for spring classes on Friday, and so I pull out my handy dandy List of Credit Classes I Have Not Yet Taken, and there it is, Form and Technique of Poetry. WAH. Have I mentioned lately how much I hate poetry? Because I do. A lot. I am sure this is some huge freaking sin for English majors, but, whatever; poetry blows. Sometimes it makes me feel unsmart?? Yes, there is that, too. So, um, I'm taking Fiction I instead. Besides, it would have clashed with the Origins of the World Wars class and, oh, I am ALL over that. EEEE.

Since I'm nearly finished with my last book for required reading for my Lit class, I went to Barnes and Noble and picked up Neil Gaiman's Sandman because 1) GAIMAN!!!1 and 2) Kripke fanboys Death omg. I also got The Time Traveler's Wife because I've heard nothing but good things about it, so!

I have also finally, finally got my family to watch Supernatural. I RULE. They've only seen the Pilot and Wendigo, but they love the music ("The Allman Brothers!" says my mom) and the Metallicar, and YES, HA HA, MINE IS AN EVIL LAUGH. This makes me so excited/nervous it's kind of stupid.

That being said, is it angsty mcangstypants Thursday yet omg??

(Also, the soundtrack for the EE of TTT? I just. Ungh. My heart.)

Hey, I used to be a huge poetry fangirl. lol I still like it.

Yay for getting into Supernatural! It's crack, pure crack.

Maybe my Brit Lit class I took my first semester of college completely ruined it for me (Wordsworth and Keats and Blake, oy.) That, or really, poetry isn't all that bad, it was just my professor and her, uh, very in-depth analysis of it all. I like Coleridge and Tennyson! So there is that. I guess. Heh.

YES YES, CRAAAACK. Pure and simple. I love it so.

Hee! Well done on getting your family into Supernatural. I should try that at Christmas. Well, on my Dad anyway. Too scary for my Mum and my bro like to think he is above any TV that isn't news/politics related, heh.

Heh, thanks! My sister actually hides behind a pillow, and, really, that gives me enough glee as it is. :D

I'm not an English major but I hate poetry. Well, I like it as long as I do not have to do the following with it:
- read it aloud in front of groups of strangers or classmates
- analyze the shit out of it and make up some great b.s. for some professor to eat up
- read poetry about squirrels that you know are not that great
- put a beat to it (I will let the musicians take care of that)

You got your family to watch SPN? Damn, that is mad skillz.

Ahaha, yes! Well, my dad likes shows like Stargate, X-Files, and Buffy, so really, it was no problem with him. My mom grew up and loves the music the show features, so no problem there either, hee. My sister, though? Such a skeptic. But I really think she likes it. :DDD

I was reading the issue of Sandman with the "creal" convention the other day. Classic.
