I never heard the melody till I needed the song"

I'm a grad student working on my MA in English. I'm almost done, pretty much all I have left to do is the thesis. I want to be an English professor when I "grow up."
I love Deconstructionism. It makes more sense to me then any other theory, and is pretty well how I look at the world.
T.S. Eliot was the most amazing poet ever. I'm working on memorizing "Prufrock."
I have an obsession with reference books, especially the OED.
I have a BA in English (I minored in Sociology). I like the Lost Generation writers and Margaret Atwood. I'm obsessed with Shakespeare and Hemingway.
I love to write. I'm currently working on a few different stories. I'm good at coming up with ideas for stories, it's just finishing them that can be difficult.
I'm on lj and pretty much anything you'd ever want to know about me is on there. http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=angelicdemise
