Was it because you mentioned how Curley's wife was a complete bitch who ruined the friendship between two bros and that anything feminist is completely evil?

my greatest /lit/ achievement is that i skipped class consistently every time we had had an exam / test the time before. my teacher loved my stories and he'd read them in front of class every god damn time which was a pain in the ass for everyone, made me look a huge twat and made me spazz out internally because i'm a huge autist.

I once had a group of girls hanging on my every word as I explained Dante's conception of people as simultaneously their own entities and symbols of something else, which he puts forward at the end of La Vita Nuova. Seriously, these girls were fucking enraptured. They still flock to me every time they see me, since we all belong to a social club.
