ira.day, keeper of the common.tarry
Middle name: uh, pass....unless the . counts
Age: as old as the hills and a little younger than 19.13 today {though we know how seldom this website will be updated}; pisces! pieces! woe is me!
Lives: my castle in the clouds, because "Among all human constructions the only ones that avoid the dissolving hands of time are castles in the air." -Frederico de Roberto
Nickname: hmmm...ira.day? epithets, those i can do: lord/master/keeper of the common.tarry, for example, or Dissident at Large..."Call me 'Dotty' and you die." -Dot Warner
Favourite animal: a tossup between the armadillo and something else "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." -Karl Marx. er, Groucho; sorry
Hobby: writing poetry, writing bad poetry, writing bad sonnets, writing short stories, writing these stupid essays nobody ever reads, writing a novel nobody ever *will* read because now it reads like crap, definitely NOT answering e-mail because i never get any, addicting people to my new novella..."The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable, and literature is not read." -Oscar Wilde "All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling." -the same
Person you were in a past life: a tossup between the armadillo and something else...Carl Sagan? Michael Palin? oh wait, 'e's not dead yet...Don Quixote, i'm convinced of it, with a dash of Cyrano
Pick-up line: "turn off the lights! augh! oh, it's too late, i'm melting, melting, uhh, what a world...a plague on both your houses!"...that one hasn't worked in a while, i think i need to tweak it. so then sometimes i go with Nietzsche: "It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book." it's not true, and it never gets the women either, so it qualifies perfectly!
Marital status: hopelessly lost in searching for a lady fair to mean more to me than my own happiness. "Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time." -Albert Camus
Motto or quote: that's "quotation" {sorry}, and how's this: "Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing i know." -Ernest Hemingway. go El Papa! that and "It's strange that words are so inadequate. Yet, like the asthmatic struggling for breath, so the lover must struggle for words." -T.S. Eliot. well, confound it, anything Eliot's ever said. one more, please: "Remember where we parked." -Captain James T. Kirk. {the "t" stands for "the".}
Special talent: getting into things way over my head. "To be wise and love Exceeds man's might; that dwells with the gods above." -William Shakespeare. {oh, and using these little curly brackets instead of parentheses.}
