Orlando
Friends often ask me, "YelloCello, if you were classic work of literature, which one would it be?" Funny they should ask...
Virginia Woolf: Orlando. You are a challenge, for
outer events, the outside world, the time etc.
play no importance to you. Your focus is in
writing, in gender issues, and inside your own
head. Self-analysis and exploration of yourself
as well as the outer world hold great
importance to you.
Which literature classic are you?
by Quizilla
Hmmm, isn't the above a little contradicted? ("The outside world means nothing to you. No, wait! The outer world holds great importance to you.") Gee, and Quizilla is typically such a precise tool. No matter. I like the choice of book.
For the record, I also really like Tilda Swinton. Yet I've never seen the film version of Orlando (1992) in which she stars. Putting that on the Netflix queue now.
(Update: Alas, Netflix only has the Orlando by "Virginia Wolf.")

Hi M - I actually wanted to comment on your "Proof" post - wow! I am thankful for you...pretty amazing. (The comments link on that post appears not to be working, for some reason.)
I got Orlando too. Then I tweaked and got Dorian Gray. The Tilda Swinton version of Orlando's pretty good.
Thanks for alerting me to the comments glitch, New Kid. And yeah, I was just sick when I saw the glow of that burner the other night. But not as sick as I could have been. Am thanking benevolent powers AND the trooper frying pan.
Glad to know that Orlando is worth a rent, too.
