| Name: | Gavin | ||
| Bio: | So here's the long and short of it. I've just graduated with my MA in Sociology and find myself in the quasi-unviting position of being on the job market in, lets face it, a recession. (We are calling it that now, right?) I'm a recovering cynic who has spent a great deal of time in a suffocatingly small town and is quite ready to get on to the next big thing. I always try to be interested in new ideas and interesting people. Let me know if you know any. And NOW for something REALLY Interesting: (A few of my current favorite quotes) "So. What have we learned? We have learned the first lesson. They will always hate us... We must give the ordinary humans respect, compliance, and understanding. And we must never mistake that for trust." - Emma Frost, Astonishing X-Men, 1 "Can I say something about destiny? Screw destiny. If this evil thing comes, we’ll fight it, and we’ll keep fighting it until we whip it. Because destiny’s just another word for inevitable, and nothing’s inevitable as long as you stand up, look it in the eye, and say you’re evitable...(embarassed) Well, you catch my drift. " Winifred "Fred" Burkle- Angel "...It is a sad thing to think of, but there is no doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take pains to over-educate ourselves. In the wild struggle for existence we want to have something that endures, so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place.." Lord Henry-The Picture of Dorian Gray Oscar Wilde "Nothing good can come of staying with normal people." Harry McDougal- Outlaw Star " and you know, I personally do believe that there is a certain side of the world that gay people see. Let's just say they're acquainted with major rejection on many levels. (Laughs.)" - Rufus Wainwright "I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. (pauses) What a wonder...how very scared I am. " --Winifred "Fred" Burkle-Angel "Generally I like to think that I'm unflappable and unphaseable...but God is that untrue. In reality I'm finding that I'm generally just apathetic and obilvious in equal portions..." - C'est moi "Alcohol is nessesary so that others can have good opinions of themselves, undisturbed by facts." " For most Americans, rather than expose the young to love and, in due course perhaps, desire, it is far better to lock them up in prisons, subject them to torture, sexual abuse, and execution. That is the American way. We are famed in the civilized world as the most barbarous of nations in the treatment of our citizens. But I reckon God wants us like that, doing his work. 4.9 million Americans are in prisons, under detention, under surveillance, on parole. Now the privatization of prisons is proving a bonanza for some of our crooked citizens. George W. Bush exults in the fact that as governor of Texas, he has barbecued 100 people. Good American George, God loves him. " --Gore Vidal "You should be running..."-- Liz Sherman- Hellboy Gert: "What? How is it possible that our parents lied to us? Let's see: Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, um, God. 'You're the prettiest kid in school. This won't hurt a bit. Your face will freeze like that...'" Alex: "Everythings going to be all right." "Vic, if you're still in there...I heard what your old man said. Maybe we all become our parents someday...but not yet. This is your time to be a rebellious little snot." -Gertrude Yorkes -Runaways #6  "I denounce because, though implicated and partially responsible, I have been hurt to the point of abysmal pain, hurt to the point of invisibility. And I defend because in spite of it all, I find that I love."- Ralph Ellison- Invisible Man. | ||
