Oh, I dunno - I was going to say Princess Leia, but she's not so bad, I guess. I kinda suspected Tove Janssen was dead. I only had a few Moomin books but I read them till they fell apart. I especially liked the one where Moomintroll wakes up from hibernation early and spends the winter having adventures. I remember some beautiful and eerie imagery of the frozen ocean and the long winter night - presumably taken from real life in Finland. "Think of Finland." - Robyn H. There's a map of Moominland in "The Dictionary of Imaginary Places." Sometimes having maps of such places kind of ruins it - makes them too concrete. I just finished reading "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut - the first Vonnegut novel I've read. I didn't like it. No sir. A combination of cutesy attempts at humor (the loveable cynical calypso prophet) with over-the-top nihilism and anti-science bias. The main message seemed to be that people are stupid, and scientists are not only stupid but wildly irresponsible as well. Gee, I think I've heard that before. In about six zillion different places. Yawn. Maybe "Slaughterhouse Five" is more interesting. n. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2002 17:30:45 +0000 From: "Redtailed Hawk" Subject: Wacked Jeme: >the lower your morals and >weaker your ethics, the more opportunities you see. Jeme, that is funny. But seriously, isn't it more sad than bad that such stuff exists? I cant help thinking of turning it all on its head in a story where the woman has figured out whats going on and realized that ... her amazement at the fact that -anyone- would be that interested in -any- aspect of her life at all actually helps empower her to make some positive changes. Needless to say, this unapprouchable woman is of course really a shy self-esteem basket case. As would be any guy who made use of this sort of manipulation. Hmmm, I just have to figure out how this could ironically make for some positive change in his life. Would he know what he was doing or would it all be ironic? And then how to get them in a bar together to talk and laugh about it considering just what low self-esteem they both have. I know that sounds like a quite implausibel story, especially the last bit--but look how implausible most of Shakespeare's comedies are. The more implausible something is, often the more entertaining it can be. Especially if, in the long run, good things result. - --------------------------- Googlewack--did it on my first one!

I don't know if I'm being naive for even responding to this seriously, but I'm going to do so anyway. The more words, the more likely to get a single hit (as opposed to multiple) and the higher the score.
