It was just so enticing, though. He embodied every insecurity running around in my sick little head.

DFW is easy. Talk in a nasal voice. Wear glasses and constantly adjust them. Mouth always hanging slight open. Lots of ums. No eye contact.

there was a guy in one of my classes who had dressed himself just life dfw (same hair, same glasses) and talked exactly like him with the same annoying mouth movements and head tilting

i basically dropped the class because i couldn't stand listening to him talk about how bad he wanted to be a novelist everyday

I'm so glad I went through that one mostly on 4chan or other anonymous boards and no records survive.

This never gets old. He seems to pull the "you're going to edit this out, right" shit in like eighty percent of his videos.

Does anyone else feel as if it was just as act?

DFW aged like wine. He looks horrendous in his Charlie Rose interview. Decent in the German TV interview. And then cool as shit in this interview.

He would've made a badass old man ;_;
