Guest Commentary by Meaghan
[Editors Note: Yet more stuff I snitched from Meg's e-mail. Feeling the need to confess, Meg admitted that she's been reading -and getting a real kick out of- Nancy Drew stories recently. Here's her rationalization for this seemingly unexplanable fixation.]
I thought you might be a little put off by it, but thought - I'd better let him know about this darker side of me. I'm not only into dead animal's bones, Nietzsche, and carrying grudges longer than a sloth. I mean, one can't always focus on such fun things, occasionally one needs to be serious for a moment and turn to Nancy Drew mysteries. They offer so much for the morally corrupt. Like lessons on the proper things to say to the "little woman." Not only that, but they also are hot beds of information pertaining to how to dress in matching sweater combos, how to use men to get the information you want, and how to stalk anyone! Learn to stalk your favourite obsession, today! She also teaches the virtues of having a cosmetic boyfriend, why it's good to tease people about their fears when you have none, and most of all - the virtues of a really good joke at the expense of another person. I've just learned so much from Nancy Drew, I don't know how I could make it up to her. But, as she would probably say - I don't know what she would say. I have no idea, because I am not nearly as cool and well versed in etiquette as she is. I'll never measure up to her no matter how hard I try, how many of her adventures I read, and now hard I try to match my sweater combos. All the years I have wasted trying to emmulate her. All the sweater combos I have bought trying to look just like her. My life is in shambles. I'm a failure. My hair doesn't even flip out like her's. I'm just hideous. I'll never ever ever never ever be good enough. I hate Nancy Drew. ;D
Thanks Meg! If you would like to submit something, just drop me a line at gleep9@hotmail.com and I'll happily look it over. Now head on back to either to the Literature or Main page.
