I'm sorry if this is off-topic, but I'm terribly confused...

What is this "soma" you speak of?

I've seen it come up a few times on this board with no context.

The only soma I know of is the psychoactive ritual drink of the Vedas and the haoma of Zoroastrianism...

If this is part of some elaborate meta-discussion on Indo-European studies, I want in; Zoroastrianism's my joint.

Are you even paying attention? I said I saw a girl with a penis.

Gender is a construct!

Wooooooooow is this the real life??????

In my parody it works like this:

Ravenclaw- Smart, drink scotch and wine in an arm chair. Listen to classical music.

Slytherin- Nazis. 1 in 2 are the anti-Christ waiting to happen.

Hufflepuff- Ride to short train to school. Fuckin' useless.

Grythindor- Heroes, goody two shoes, mary sues/Gary Stu's

Were you born yesterday?

When I was younger I thought the pic of Ayn Rand that OP posted was Agent Scully from the X-files and she traveled back in time and had a photograph of her taken.

Here is some of my ranting, written in a stream of consciousness. I'm not claiming its good, I just wanna see if anyone can relate/draw something out of it

In my lips lives the harshest dry
Bilabial rage flies silently and no one hears it
‘Cause it is dressed in words that sound nice
My anger wants to escape and I’m the one that fears it
Abusing solid wood draws blood but giving a fuck
Feels too heavy to hold so the drawer is dented
Venting emotions is painful but bottling them sucks
Venting feelings is shameful so I do it alone
I don’t read the tome at such times because I feel unworthy
Although many in it flip out.
The strong dude hated his in-laws
He tired of their shit too
He maybe is the chosen but he had his flaws
Divine given strength can be used for venting uses
Although God punishes these abuses
Blindness is a curse
But dealing with idiots is true atonement
Light was created first
But stupidity is Man’s inherent trait
It is really the weight
That signed His disapproval
I won’t apologize for these dumb shits
I’ll use the banned flame to take a hit
And introvert myself to escape living
Amongst students who like giving opinions
Based on corrupted, misinterpreted, verbatim, baseless
Knowledge formed on lives lived on whims and positive reinforcement
Teachers who happily give endorsement
Just to keep them interested in a field that can yield
So much new info. The real research hides behind a shield
Of words that only true scholars can comprehend
These words send me to an inner understanding
Of higher causes and real world handling

Hey /lit/ do you guys know a link to Romeo and Juliet?
But not the normal kind, I mean that 'made easy' version for those who are inadequate in old language..
