Nan and I probably could have used your outgoing self - for all of our charm, we're both quite shy about striking up conversations with total strangers on the street.
But then again, this was mighty good practice for us both, so maybe it was for the best!
Surreal and amusing is my specialty!
Something like that always seems to come up during tasks - it's just a matter of keeping an eye out for them!
An absolute classic of SF0. Iconic.
Four More Years!
err... months. Or however long this thing is for.
Until the reset, at very least!
Looks like this has backfired in my case. As a relatively newly-minted SF0 player, as an Aesthematician who had been torn between multiple groups upon entry, and as a tasker who bears much love and respect for my fellow SF0 players of all groups, I would appear to be a perfect target for this revolution.
Even more so, as when I learned that my University would be retiring at the end of the era, I was actually pleased - both to have been a part of it during its run, and to have a chance to experience life in other groups. I was satisfied to have been there, and would need no revolution to move on.
What went wrong is this: the more I see of the Revolutionary's divisive and bombastic rhetoric, the more inclined I am to oppose the revolution as a whole. I will not turn against my fellow SF0 members with division in my mind, and being encouraged to do so - by one who espouses only vile invective towards my fellows and our works - does nothing but strengthen my resolve to stand by my fellows.
Leaving our beloved University may be unavoidable in the new Era, but I will never denigrate or disparage its teachings. I will carry them onwards in my travels with new groups. A proud Aesthematic Baccalaureate, regardless of where I will move on to from the University, but its teachings will be carried on by me and my many, many classmates.
Thinking further into this group, I do hope it embraces the semiotic aspects of its trajectory as much as the more strictly linguistic aspects.
It seems it would be criminal to limit the group to "only" prose and poetry without allowing its students to wander into symbology, syntactics, and other related fields related to communication and language.
In short, rather than "Language, Emphasis, and Words in Literature," I'd rather see it be "Literature, Emphasis, and Words in Language."
As a self-professed wordwright, I would join this group with superlative speed.
I'm a sucker for a well-rationalized praxis. Especially if my first impression suggests it's lame.
Ahem. First vote. Woo.
