Whoa... this is weird as hell. I've never even heard of this author until like a week or so ago, when my friend suggested I read American Gods.
From his synopsis, it sounded like a good book. Of course, he still reads comic books and watches g4, so he may be completely retarded. We'll have to see... guess I'll have to read it for myself.
my previous statements were in no way meant to denigrate neil gaiman. (the now-filming movie of his book stardust has a bizarrely famous cast and probably will make a bunch of money, for those of you more in the mainstream.)
now stef, we don't have to be sports fans to distance ourselves from our teen goth phase. we can be . . . hipsters!!!!!
I like Neil Gaiman and I liked American Gods. But I'm aware that talking about reading Neil Gaiman is very similar to talking about my collection of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac comics in terms of the assumptions it causes other people to make about the color of most of my t-shirts.
Leesh-- hipsters! I was so blind! I'm here drinking a soy latte and contemplating which avenue of graduate study I'd really prefer. Being a hipster is really the logical route to take. If only I was still at all cool.

My god. This thread is a treat for people who like to apply mean stereotypes for people. I... don't know why I like to apply mean stereotypes to my friends.
You're drinking a soy latte as you contemplate hipsterism.

You have successfully found object: joke. To clarify my post, I was noting that a person drinking something soy and angsting over unnecessary school has probably ascended one or two ranks of hipster automatically.
I take it back, about the red tee shirts. I think all of your tee shirts are lime green.
Now that you mention it, that might be true. Though for reasons I don't fully comprehend, lime green seems to be the color stolen by the middle age and elderly upper middle class ladies of this neighborhood. I think they were pissed that Leesh took back pink.
wikipedia provides a nice historical overview of hipsters. scroll down to "modern day hipsters" to see what stef and i have been referring to. hipsters are often found in coffee shops, if you want to spy one for yourself. be careful! they spook easily. don't mention top 40 hits.
yes, yes, we all have boxes of crappy poems that our crappy high-school boyfriends gave us. there's no need for melodrama! stef's comic has its usual subtlety and doesn't warrant such an angsty response.
/bitch mode
I don't have a box of crappy poems that my crappy high-schools boyfriends gave me. I never even got ONE poem (regardless of quality) from a high-school boyfriend. They must have been even crappier than most.
Oh, and I read Neil Gaiman's American Gods and I really liked it. But I also enjoy Johnny the Homocidal Maniac comics. But I'm not goth or angsty or anything. In fact, the only black clothes I own is one business suit and my little black dress collection.

I kind of wish I had more lime green t-shirts. It would probably give me the illusion of being fun.
maybe !!!!!! can go for some shade of orange, in keeping with the forum theme.
EDIT: Woo! 200 posts too!
