Dinah,
When I was a teenager I was really a nerd because I did like Barry Manilow, and even now it was fear of being mocked that made me say I detest him. I wouldn't buy any of his music now, but I really shouldn't have said detest... now, Celine Dion I detest, not because I don't think she has a good voice, its just that well, sometimes I think you have to leave some of the emotion to the listener, not ram it down their throats.Gregorian Chants, I do like, they give me the creeps, but in the way that sometimes really affecting art can make you feel uncomfortable.
I have the worst guilty pleasure and that is Kid Rock, all the logic in the world tells me I should not like his music, but help me I do. Its inexplicable.
Now, seeing you are obvious love of language(arcane archaic)and its been a long time since I've spoken to someone who mentions those topics as if they are normal conversation (and to me they are)
Two unimportant but still bothersome questions. 1. regarding the word vicarious. To me, saying something like: I live vicariously through her sounds redundant, because vicariously means to live through someone. However, saying I live vicariously period leaves the question to be answered, well through whom or what do you live vicariously? So what is the point of the word?And one more
The term "it changed the course of history"
How can you change something like history, when it only exists in retrospect, otherwise it wouldn't be history would it?Now, please don't think my life is plagued by these unanswered questions, and I feel so awful
only physically thankfully, I don't even know if I'll be back at the computer tonight so please, put this at the very very bottom of your "to do " list if you put it anywhere at all.
Now if I can think of another way to make you smile, I will post it.Love
