Important Conversations: I Spit Negative Game

  • me: I'm being a twat and listening to Demi Lovato. It was on my hold music and I just needed to hear it to get through today
  • Roddy: haha i dont think that makes you a twat
  • Roddy: I smell like perfume now...
  • me: You gchat like a character from Ulysses
  • me: I take it you dig James Joyce references this early in the morning
  • Roddy: HA. explain
  • me: Ulysses is considered by many to be one of the best novels to ever exist
  • me: Written by Dubliner James Joyce at the turn of the 20th century, it follows one character through his life over the course of one day, I believe
  • Roddy: but how am i like one of those characters
  • me: Of note, however, is the "stream of consciousness" style of writing that Joyce employed - also made famous by his novel The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
  • me: Which is a personal favorite of mine
  • me: The style of writing is similar to the way many people think - bizarre and quick transitions between seemingly unrelated or tangential topics
  • Roddy: in other words, i write like a scatter brain?
  • Roddy: I mean, that was a simpler way to put it, dont you think?
  • me: Yes, but mine was more charming because it involved literary allusions
