"History is a nightmare I keep hitting the snooze button on..."

[jack_babalon]

In former days, the masks were raised
When the god came down from off the mountain
And a sacrifice was made
For they knew that the day of wrath was fast approaching
Just like yesterday, before the war
John Francis Dooley, the scapegoat has run
All our sins are disowned
And now it's time for you to take off your mask
And cross the Rubicon
~Ulysses
Dead Can Dance

You're Ulysses!

by James Joyce

Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared
to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do
understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once
brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in
the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.

Weird. I always felt my life was somewhere between Franz Kafka & Lewis Carroll. The Trial of Alice in Wonderland: "Someone must have been telling lies about Alice K, for without having done anything wrong she was arrested one fine morning by a junked up rabbit & some sex dwarf in a top hat."

You're Catch-22!

by Joseph Heller

Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you
see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense
of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an
ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You
could coin a phrase that replaces the word "paradox" for millions of
people.

Catch-22 in the rye

At least you got a book i've actually read (one of my favorites actually). Ulysses bogs me down in the brogue a bit. I loved The Dead & was quite fond of The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man but could never quite bring myself to either the big U or Finnegans Wake.

YOUR A WIDDLE WABBIT

"WHERE WILL YOU RUN PRINCE OF A 1000 ENEMIES?"

My Dad took me to see the animated movie when I was a kid and that line always sticks out in my head.

The kids movie line that has always stuck with me was from Sleeping Beauty...

"Now you shall deal with ME, fair prince and all the powers of HELL!!!"

Shit, I seriously just got chill bumps thinking about that part...

I also have a special place in my heart for "The Black Hole," as it's the only Disney movie in which Anthony Perkins gets disemboweled by a robot.

"Now you shall deal with ME, fair prince and all the powers of HELL!!!"~ Wow the first time I heard that line was when I went to one of "THOSE" parties up in Athens. I have never had to fellate so many high heels in one night...

One Hundrer Years of Solitude

You're One Hundred Years of Solitude!

by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Lonely and struggling, you've been around for a very long time.
Conflict has filled most of your life and torn apart nearly everyone you know. Yet there
is something majestic and even epic about your presence in the world. You love life all
the more for having seen its decimation. After all, it takes a village.

I've never read this one either, my dearest BookMonkey. But "... there
is something majestic and even epic about your presence in the world." suits you just fine.
