I note that your year has been much more intellectual than mine! I need to watch more artsy movies and go to shows and stuff. My school does mostly "avant-garde" weird stuff, though. But I did see an awesome performance of Twelfth Night in freshman year!

You read Deerskin? What did you think? (Have I asked you this before?) I read the first chapter or two when I was in middle school, or so, and I was frightened of men for at least a month afterwards. O_O

Hope y'all don't mind my butting in, but I read Deerskin a couple of years ago and liked it a lot. And I'm the biggest wimp about scary/gross/brutal things, especially when they involve children. As long as you know, going in, that there are unpleasant scenes and grimness, you should be ok. It has one of my all-time favorite princes in it. So, you don't need to be frightened of ALL men, just one.
