I saw this at the writing center at Belmont:
"I don't know which is more discouraging, literature or chickens."

RIDICULOUSLY OBSESSED WITH EVERY DAMN THING ON THE PLANET

chickens, obviously.
I agree with that, definitely chickens... unless we're talking chick-lit, in which case literature!
don't get me started on a rant about how the term "chick-lit" has been corrupted by popular culture and has come to mean something completely opposite of its original coinage. Google Cris Mazza and Elizabeth Sheffield for history on the term... their anthology of punked-out, post-feminist, ground-breaking work from the edgiest women writers around was the first to employ the term... and the fact that everyone has used it pejoratively ever since is a smidge irksome.
yep, i agree, definately chickens! sorry to get you going on a rant, M! i'll see if i can't find more provoking quotes!!!
hey, it's 4/18-- almost time for you to leave for nashville!!! yay!
Okay, I've done a bit of googling and read Cris Mazza's description of chick-lit from 1995 - certainly a far cry from the stuff that's deemed as chick-lit today!
That's all I'm saying!
i can't believe that this quote has provoked more discussion than anything else i've written since last august! as you would say, chris: gah!
