Disturbed

I just realized that my Creative Writing teacher has both a myspace and facebook account. I find this incredibly weird for some reason, I suppose because it humanizes her a bit. I’ve never really gotten over that 2nd grade thing where you can’t imagine that your teacher has a life outside of the classroom. I still recoil in shock when I realize my teachers have sex and go grocery shopping.
 
I’m equally disturbed that her favorite book is Fight Club, but I suppose I did like it, so things could be worse. This does mean I should probably swear more in my writing.
 
Oh, and to finish off my disturbed state, I just finished watching A Clockwork Orange. I don’t think that needs any further explanation.

A Clockwork Orange is an amazing film…disturbing…but Kubrick was a genius…Have you seen Dr. Strangelove?

You know, I actually think the movie was better when it comes to Fight Club. Mostly because Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are hotties, but also because I think that whole split-personality thing comes across a lot better in the movie. But the book was good too, or course. ^_^ Oh noes! Our teachers have sex? Ew.

I hated that movie

Wait… teacher have lives outside of the classroom?

I like the movie Fight Club, but as a book? Hmm.And wow, everyone is getting into Facebook these days..

ah, chuck palahniuk..

I don’t much like Chuck Palahniuk… But yes, weirdness in the extreme, teachers having actual lives. Although I did once bump into my highschool maths teacher in a pub where we proceeded to become intoxicated together. Odd.

I find it weirder you’re taking Creative Writing classes at 21. I don’t know. Maybe lots of people do this. What happened to Mediocre Economics or whatever it was your degree used to be? Americans just can’t swear.

Hunter’s his surname, I didn’t make it up!

I disagree. I’d say 90% of the girls I’ve slept with haven’t been hurt, based on their reactions to me. I also thought it was pretty universal when I was a kid, but if all that crap happens to everyone, why do I get flat out disbelieved about living rough for years as a kid (“where?” I’ve had Sheffield people say to me, thus proving no one ever sees anyone living rough),

why did no one believe me about my foster parents, why is it all such a fucking shock to people? I also believe the abuse thing is cumulative. If you can make it to 18 without anyone laying a fucking hand on you, you have no reason to ever let it happen. Whereas people can spot the kids that have been hurt and they know exactly what they can get away with.

You can’t damage the already damaged – that’s a pretty common assumption. Or at least they know no one will give a shit if they do.

actually it does because I haven’t seen it. I guess I should.
