If you hadn't, nobody would even know who you were outside the hipster circle of people who can confuse "social insurgency" with being a self-important hipster. If you feel it's okay to trick people into reading some drivel like yours, a pity for you. <br /><br />Now, I wonder if, despite your sneering at the supposedly one-dimensional discussion of 1C1S, you will ever approve this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909166734000323323.post-31265845656967238932011-10-06T12:59:35.150-07:002011-10-06T12:59:35.150-07:00Man, you aren't being clever or subversive by ...Man, you aren't being clever or subversive by tricking people into reading a short story that reads like a tortured setup for mediocre porn.

Evidentally readers are asked to suspend disbelief (or to care) that a nun gerw up with the fantasy that her father would come rescue her from the nunnery where whe was mocked for being "the whore's child." It requires a student in a fiction class to blurt out the secret that her father was really her mother's pimp. Why did the nun subtly convey this in her story (with reference to the many men coming and going from the building where her mother was housed) to allow anyone to see the 'truth' and yet supposedly not know it heself? Plus, who cares about the supposed stigma of having a mother who is a prostitute? Today's story is the horror of having a mother be a prositute and having that life distined for you, as in the film 'born into brothels" about children filming their childhood life in red light distict in Bombay.HumanProjecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579380219478093167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909166734000323323.post-38184530189133030932011-10-03T08:01:09.366-07:002011-10-03T08:01:09.366-07:00Gorgeous!Gorgeous!Frances Madesonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909166734000323323.post-78511017078179316992011-09-30T07:03:58.748-07:002011-09-30T07:03:58.748-07:00You, sir, are a dick.
